That's something repunks do all the time.

He's kind of admitting he's been conned.

We're going to build a wall!
We're going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it!
We're going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it later!
We're going to build a wall and we'll pay for it first but tariffs or something will help.
We're not building a wall.

was seriously deluded. There's no money, no consensus, and the wall
wouldn't do squat except hurt both countries. Even the threat of the wall
is hurting the US already. Mexico will buy corn from Brazil, (how much will that hurt our farmers?), slap a tourist
fee on US citizens visiting Mexico, and general hatred for the US from
our southern neighbors.
Would the US just cede the Rio Grande to Mexico?
Would Trump want build the wall in the middle of the river?
What about environmental concerns?
What about eminent domain taking land from people along the border?
The whole idea was nuts from the get go.
ETA: Plus it wouldn't achieve it's supposed goal.

came here legally and overstayed their visas. All the walls in the world won't prevent that.

And these idiots didn't see through it.

In a way, this is the best thing that could happen under Comrade Trump's rule. Yet another ridiculous campaign promise disappearing into the ether.

Maybe somebody could work up a cool CGI showing the wall in all its pretend glory. That'll be as close as the deplorables ever get to their freaking wall.

... look at her Tweets and it's all predictably pro-Trump and anti-Democrat. This "person" not only will vote for Trump (if he makes it to re-election) but she will breathlessly RACE out to do so, spurred on by the usual "Democrats are awful, evil, horrible people" garbage that continually brainwashes them.

Trump knows he has absolutely nothing to fear from his base. They knew what a rotten and incompetent person he is the first time they voted for him; they will NEVER turn on him, period. All his faults and failures will be laid at the door of the Democrats, as always. And the sheep will lap it up, sneering all the while it's everyone ELSE drinking the Kool-Aid, of course.
