I have a hunch that trump will make money somehow off the wall.

[shraby]

As much as he keeps screaming about building it, he must have some skin in the game. He doesn't do much of anything unless he profits from it.

[Aristus]

1. I just see his continued blithering about the wall his way of keeping the loyalty of the

coked-up chimpanzees that make up the bulk of his base.

[dchill]

2. Bank on it.

[fierywoman]

3. ... via kickbacks from the contractors.

[moondust]

9. maybe kickbacks for no-bid contracts?

[manor321]

4. It's not about that. It is about energizing their base.

It's about making sure Republican voters actually vote in the next elections. This is just ONE reason why we have to defeat them. Every time they win it only enables them more.

AND, of course, the actual policy is insane and should be defeated.

10. He thinks they will civil war for him,

when Mueller tells us he's a felon. It's the only way he can fall asleep at night, after the adderall wears off.

5. He can't make money off something that never gets built...

...but, no, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that he’s spent the past few months cornering the steel-slat market.

[Vinca]

6. Trump Ladder Company.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. I think he wants to use the US Treasury...

To pay off his old debts.

To Russian/other organized crime figures.

[Runningdawg]

8. It's his pyramid, his temple to himself, his legacy.

Until the end of time, when someone mentions that wall, they will also have to mention the name Trump.
That's what he really wants.
