Just an observation .. FWIT ... for those who continue to believe the President is brash or out-of-control, I'd like you to watch the Q&A included in the video above.  Respectful questions from the media, and a President who answered every question from the wall to California cities, to the Middle East, to the economy, even to Bolton with thoughtfulness and candor.  I'm quite glad he's at the helm, and this interview helps explain why. 

Flame away, if you must.

Actually glad to see some progress being made .... now ... as for what Trump does on the 2A, that's yet to be seen.

"Some" progress?  It's terrific progress .... accomplished against every conceivable obstacle @libertybele  A double wall ... together a damn near impenetrable barrier covering the highest traffic area in California -- and beyond.

I thought this was your make or break issue for the President.  I guess not.

Donald Trump Signs, Shows Off Newly Constructed Wall on San Diego Border
Breitbart, Sep 18, 2019

President Donald Trump visited the San Diego border on Wednesday to show off a newly constructed portion of the wall after a fundraising trip in California.

“It’s an amazing project,” Trump said, pointing to the 30-foot high barrier constructed with steel and concrete, noting that it also went six feet underground.

“If you think you’re going to cut it with a blow torch, that doesn’t work, because you hit the concrete, and then if you think you’re going to go through the concrete, that doesn’t work because we have very powerful rebar inside,” Trump said
 
The president traveled via motorcade after a fundraiser to Otay Mesa, a community outside San Diego on the United States -Mexico border to review the latest constructed physical barrier.

He pointed out the new wall structure to the press, which was 24 miles of primary and secondary wall at the border.

“We have it covered underground, we have it covered overground,” Trump said.   The president was joined by acting Department of Homeland security Kevin McAllen and several other border security officials.
 
He said that over 44,000 bollard panels had been set up for the wall, which was then filled with concrete and rebar.

Trump admitted that he envisioned a solid concrete wall when he campaigned for president, but he was told by border officials that they preferred a wall constructed by concrete-filled bollards so they could see through it.

He added that the steel wall was designed to retain heat, making it harder to climb, plus having an anti-climbing system at the top.

“You can fry an egg on that wall,” he said. The president also acknowledged to reporters that he wanted the wall to be painted black and have spikes but said it was cheaper to let it remain naturally rust-colored.
 
“We can paint it later,” he said.

[...]

One worker told Trump of a tradition of workers signing the wall if they worked on the wall.

“I’ll sign it,” Trump said, and went to the wall and signed the steel barrier with a marker before encouraging other officials present to do the same.

Good news. Build that wall.

I thought this was your make or break issue for the President.  I guess not.   

The wall, illegal immigration and asylum or very important issues; issues that won Trump the White House.  Yes, I believe he needs to come through on the promises that won him the presidency.  Everything he has accomplished so far though will be of little significance if he tramples on the 2A.  He would be basically handing over to the DEMS what they've been pushing for; gun confiscation, gun control and infringement on civil liberties.

Yes @Right_in_Virginia the 2A is absolutely first and foremost.  Without it, we will have NO rights.
