Speaking to reporters on Friday, President Trump harped on his hope that Congress will negotiate and fund his border wall and suggested he didn’t care about getting credit for pushing the issue.

“I don’t care what they name it,” he said, referencing the wall. “They can name it peaches.”

Trump also told reporters he’d rather give Congress time to make the “easy” decision, rather than have his administration declare a national emergency in order to secure the funding.

  1. Umm, your stupid border wall is never going to be built, you stupid moron.

    You can call your next girlfriend Peaches, though, if you’d like.

  4. Maximum “confidence” is indescribably easy when your only challenge is a mike in your face, in front of a “questioner” with click-bait “questions” with no followup.

    How about the challenges ordinary people feel…

    In a crowded classroom
    In a fire
    In a crime scene
    In combat
    As a working parent

    So he looks “confident”. So what? He’s as scared as he can possibly be.
