Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming. Most importantly, got $700 Billion to rebuild our Military, $716 Billion next year...most ever. Had to waste money on Dem giveaways in order to take care of military pay increase and new equipment.

Democrats refused to take care of DACA. Would have been so easy, but they just didn’t care. I had to fight for Military and start of Wall.

How can they start building it if Mexico hasn't sent Trump the money to pay for it? The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2018 #2

Oh, Mexico will pay for the wall, alright. Didn't Trump tell us that? LastLiberal in PalmSprings Mar 2018 #3

I wonder how much of the $1.6 billion flows back to him, his family or his lawyers? DFW Mar 2018 #5

If they plan on starting it in San Diego they will have a ton of bodies stopping the bulldozers from moving an inch. We do not want it and are not messing around. His visit last week was a photo op and even the GOP mayor didn't bother showing up. Bogus BS!

And Trump would never lie, would he?

What pisses me off is how hot he is about dumping money into the military and how much he has to take from the rest of us to finance it--and his tax cuts for the rich.

And Trump's ego-parade, of course. I read you could feed every veteran for two weeks for what it's going to cost to put that monstrosity on. And if he succeeds in getting his way this year, he'll want an even bigger parade next year, if he's still in office.
