Donald Trump's Humpty Dumpty border wall - Oklahoma responds

Who will pay for the border wall?  Who?

Taxpayers will pay for wall, White House aide acknowledges- CNN by Jeremy Diamond

It turns out, the facts show how Republicans refused to vote on a bill to fund the border wall when they had a chance to do so, as per this opinion published in the Oklahoma newspaper Tulsa World. 

Republicans had a chance to pass border wall in 2013
Fact: Donald Trump had a Republican-majority Congress, both House and Senate, for two years. Yet, no bills were ever introduced about funding a wall. Then, there is this: In 2013, U.S. senators in the Democrat-majority chamber agreed to fund the Border Security Bill to the tune of $46 billion.

Incredulously, the Republican House Freedom Caucus refused to vote for it.

Because the Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, would not place any bill on the floor that was not approved by the Republican caucus, the bill to fund border security died in the House.

Interesting, no? (IMO In other words- this border wall frenzy is a political hack job to keep Trump's mass hypnotized cult mesmerized.)

Tulsa World Editor's Note: The omnibus spending bill passed in March 2018 included $1.6 billion to replace existing barriers and add some fencing in new areas at the U.S.-Mexican border.

MaineWriter opinion-  Donald Trump has created his modern legacy of the "Humpty Dumpty" catastrophe: He will have a great fall and all the Trumpzi cultists and all the Republican white men will not be able to put Donald Trump's Humpty Dumpty wall, back together again! 

The wall was always a stupid idea and now the un-kept promise is like an albatross.  Check it out.
