President Donald Trump pledged Tuesday that his promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border will get built, threatening to use the military if need be, while claiming that much progress has already been made on the structure.
Trumps comments come as he is set to meet later in the day with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi in an attempt to end a stalemate over border wall funding that threatens to shut down large swaths of the government next week.
While both the White House and Democratic leaders have dug their heels in on the issue, Trump on Tuesday hit Democrats for opposing his $5 billion request for border wall funding for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, citing Pelosis ongoing battle to become the next House speaker for her refusal to budge.
His Twitter messages also come on the heels of an Associated Press report that thousands of active duty U.S. troops deployed to the border in October will begin the withdrawal process and will be pulled out before the holidays.

(4,029 posts)Good. Im rejoiced in the fact that Mexico conceded to pay for the wall, because foisting that travesty on the payroll of the public is a total and complete waste of money.
Good job with Mexico, King Don.
