And a frustrating thing about the last election. Clinton had white papers for virtually everything. Trump just said only I can do it. Media do your damn job.

Would accomplish a lot

1. Present us as reasonable and businesslike. Demonstrates us as more factual and less political.

2. Make the right stop and think, “ya, mr trump, tell them your plan!” Some may think this wall thing is truly on the up and up.

3. Force trump’s hand on vendor since people have said that Russia owns 40% of the Canadian steel slat company. Only other producer besides China! Can you imagine if it was revealed that helping Russians make more money is the impetus?


Only issue...sure we’d be asked...why are you switching from a categorical no, to now being willing to listen?

This is uncharted waters. I imagine any other president who wanted to undertake a project would have already considered and prepared reports that included answers to all these questions.

It is our offer. Open the government, submit your responses, and we will take it up ASAP.
