Trump says he’s considering a Plan B if Congress rejects his demand for $5 billion in border wall funding

By Philip Rucker, Josh Dawsey and Felicia Sonmez November 27 at 5:43 PM

President Trump said he is considering a backup plan if Congress rejects his demand for $5 billion in funding for his border wall, potentially including the continued use of troops and razor wire to prevent migrants from entering the country.

Trump’s remarks, made Tuesday during an Oval Office interview with The Washington Post, are a sign that he could be softening his position on the issue ahead of a Dec. 7 deadline. Trump has previously declared that he is willing to force a partial government shutdown if lawmakers do not agree to the $5 billion figure.

Republicans control both the House and Senate until the new Congress convenes in January.

“We need Democrat votes to have a wall,” Trump said. “Now, if we don’t get it, will I get it done another way? I might get it done another way. There are other potential ways that I can do it. You saw what we did with the military, just coming in with the barbed wire and the fencing, and various other things.”

1. And Safe TEAR GAS...Let us not forget that!

Is Donald Trump stupid? Or is he scared shitless that his authoritarian ways are catching up to him and he will bring down most all of the Republicans with him?

2. Is that the same Trump that said Mexico would pay for it?

6. One way or another.

Looks like another.

3. DFT is such a rich dude- he can bank the Wall Project- Mexico will pay him back

That is what needs to happen. The Mango Molester can finance this stupid idea because he "builds the best things" and he has so many successful projects under his belt.

4. Oooooowwwwwww!!!! Trump's considering a backup plan!!!! What a novel concept!!!!!!!!

Who would ever have thought that there was such a thing as a Plan B. As long as we don't have to pay for his stupid wall, the Jackass can call it what the hell he wants.

5. I'm sure he can stick plan B up

His Plan A (ASS)

7. Oh? Does it involve products from Acme to catch a road runner out in the desert?

After all, we know he is a "super genius."

14. Where does one get an anvil these days? eom

[Volaris]

[gratuitous]

8. You better finish by the end of December

Because while the Republicans have been incredibly indulgent in letting Trump use Treasury funds for anything that suits him, Democrats aren't going to be quite so blasé about, say, defense budget money being used for homeland security. Trump is in for a rude awakening when government resumes functioning the way the Constitution says it's supposed to function.

9. So he's got about 3 soldiers per mile at this point

That gives them each about 7 football fields to cover...

Some Plan B.

[Kingofalldems]

10. 'Democrat votes' should end the conversation.

[dhill926]

[Fullduplexxx]

12. Leaping out a window?

And now a democratic house that controls all the money...

[Nevilledog]

17. Wish his mom had access to Plan B the day after his conception.

18. If plan B...

...is retroactive abortion I'm all for it!
