But Mexico was supposed to pay for Donald Trump's stupid border wall! An Idaho echo


Where do we build a border wall?  Hello?  Mexico we are waiting for you to pay for it!
Tragically, Donald Trump shut down the federal government because Congress didn't approve $5.7 billion in funding for his expensive and stupid U.S.-Mexico border wall project.

Trump’s (stupid!) border wall- an echo opinion letter published in the Idaho Statesman newspaper:

Trump campaigned that he would build a wall along the Mexican border, and Mexico would pay for it

For some crazy reason Mexico, hasn’t stepped up to the plate. 

Seeing that wasn’t going to happen, Trump pushed for American taxpayers to pay for the wall, but Mexico would pay through a redone trade deal (yet to be fully approved). 

Now, Congress isn’t on board to pay for the wall, so Trump wants to declare a state of emergency (! OMG), and take money for the wall from emergency disaster funding. 

The only state of emergency in this country is that it is being run by a lying, corrupt narcissist, and no one in the Republican Party has the nerve, or love for this country, to stand up to Trump. In the meantime the government is shut down. Government workers are not getting paid for “essential” work, or furloughed, until further notice. As for the wall, it’s gone from concrete to steel. No actual plans have surfaced showing how it would be built. We are all for border security. Let’s work on border security, better processes at the border, and remember what this country stands for. This isn’t America.
