The Best Border Deal Trump Will Get

[DonViejo]

“The tentative deal includes $1.375 billion for physical barriers — a type of fencing that resembles the ‘steel slats’ that Trump has specifically called for, according to a congressional aide briefed on the talks. It includes a total of 55 miles, which is just nine miles shy of Trump’s last budget request,” Politico reports.

“In exchange, Democrats agreed to drop their demand to restrict the number of people who can be detained by Immigration and Custom Enforcement at a time. Negotiators agreed to fund a total of 40,520 detention beds for ICE, a roughly 17 percent reduction from current levels.”

Playbook: “Two things are true: Optically, this deal sucks for the president, because he led his supporters to believe he would get near $6 billion for a wall. But, at the same time, this is the best he’s going to get.”

1. HA HA HA! Politico desperately tries to spin that for the President

"just nine miles shy" ? HA HA HA HA! That's like 15% shorter than what he asked. And no concrete or steel wall like he wanted. Just standard fencing of the type done before.

2. Build That Fence!

Doesn’t have quite the right ring to it.

He will tell his moron fanboys he got exactly what he wanted and they will believe him. They are that stupid.

3. With Nancy in the house........

Whatever money is appropriated, that is it. NO MORE MONEY!

Border Security is important , but not a physical wall.Let Trump get his Billionaire buddies to donate their millions in Tax cuts for a wall and legal fees when people have their property confiscated. Private Property ownership means a lot to people.

4. Anything for a wall is too much
