Trump changes his messaging on wall, falsely claims it's already being built

“Let's just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games."

President Donald Trump changed his messaging about a proposed barrier along the U.S. Mexico border Thursday, telling Congress to refer to it as a “wall” and to “stop playing political games.”

“Lets [sic] just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games,” he tweeted. “A WALL is a WALL.”

Recently, Trump referred to the wall as a “barrier,” claiming he never said he would build a “wall” made of concrete. But in December he said that “some areas will be all concrete” while others would be “see-through.”

Earlier in January, Trump said at a press briefing that “steel is stronger than concrete” and that he would use it to construct fencing along the border. He blamed Democrats for changing the terminology.

First and foremost asshole, fuck your "wall" or whatever you want to call it "Peaches", your still a traitor.

Second, since we the public are footing your bill to travel.
I, and I am sure millions of others, really want to know what you said to your criminal murderous henchmen from Russia at the G20, you know, when you and your wife were sitting a table with the "guy" that likes to throw people off buildings, or put hoods over people heads when they are in meeting's and not heard from again................and this country had some asshole who had no translator or any other agent to protect this country in the room from states secrets being spoken, while you and him were shooting the proverbial shit, and then days later you come out and give Russian talking points.........................

I really believe that you should be denied permission to be in a room with a Russian agent by yourself unless there is someone else in the room from security....................and now your using the wall thing as some deflection..................to what you did at the G20...................

5. Make a deal where Trump is told the wall will be built with stealth technology.

He already thinks stealth airplanes are literally invisible. Tell him the same technology will be used to build the wall and hire some mimes to demonstrate how it works. Put up a few poles and string some wires (that's the force field), et voila! The perfect, cost-effective wall from sea to shiny sea!

And fucking republicans won't do their job to get rid of the idiot. Of all the great reasons I have ever had for warning people against voting for republicans, this rises to the top as the most damning reason yet. They allow this tool, with nuclear codes no less, to sit there tweeting and continue to be a dangerous threat to humanity because they are afraid of voters throwing them out of office.

History will not remember this republican party kindly.
