President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that construction will “100 percent” begin on his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border “soon.”
“The wall’s going to get built, folks. In case anybody has any questions, the wall’s going to get built,” Trump told reporters at a photo opportunity during a roundtable with farmers. “The wall is going to get built.”
Trump said Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly told him “we definitely, desperately need the wall.”
“And we’re going to have the wall built. I mean, I don’t know what people are talking — I watch these shows, and the pundits in the morning, they don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. “The wall gets built, 100 percent.”
Asked when construction would begin, Trump said: “Soon.”
“We’re already preparing. We’re doing plans, we’re doing specifications, we’re doing a lot of work on the wall,” he said. “The wall is very, very important.”
“In your first term?” a reporter asked.
“Well, it’s certainly going to — yeah, yeah, sure,” Trump said. “We have plenty of time. Got a lot of time.”
What are we gonna do? Build the wall!
Who’s gonna pay for it? Mexico eventually at a later date under a mechanism we quite yet haven’t figured out!
Call and response.
Maybe Trump was right. Maybe we will actually win. Maybe we will make America great again. Not like he thought he meant it, but maybe he’s such an abject failure, every one of his fucked up attempts at “governance” will die in a fire and we’ll get back to normalcy, at which point we’ll think we have won.
There’s nothing really to say.
Trump makes me cringe, over and over and over again.
