Well, he blabbered about “natural walls and things” that have been around for millions of years.. and are just as effective as the “smart wall” he thinks he’s getting.. 😆
Trump says illegal drugs "will be cut by a number that nobody will believe" if a wall is built on the southern border. But, as we wrote, most illegal drugs comes through legal ports of entry. https://t.co/pYiTFUPVMW
To build a wall Trump has:
-Delivered primetime Oval Office address
-Toured the border
-Shut the government down for 35 days
-Warned of rapists, murderers, drugs, terrorists coming from Mexico
Right now Trump is folding to Democrats having secured $0 for the wall
This could actually depress Trump's approval even further, as Trump supporting MAGA types process the loss. The only way for him to win this game was not to play in the first place.
Several Democratic sources briefed on the talks say Trump is caving on shutdown, @DanaBashCNN & @mkraju reporting. Dana adds a GOP source familiar with the plan said the president now does not plan to announce an executive order.
If I were Senate Republicans, I’d use the distraction of the Stone arrest to quietly pass a measure ending the shutdown.
If you’re going to sell Trump out, might as well do it when he’s freaking out about something else.
Bet they announce a prelim deal by this eve.
@realDonaldTrump The Trump administration is basically a rerun of The Sopranos.
Check out this video I made (the end is kind of amazing)

@realDonaldTrump Your supporters are wishing that the honorable men & women of the FBI were shot when they captured Roger Stone this morning. Sick stuff.
