Is Trump About to Fold on His Border Wall?
December 14, 2018 at 6:45 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Playbook: “Several different people inside the White House and on Capitol Hill tell us they are getting some signals President Trump might back a bipartisan package of spending bills to avert a government shutdown. The package — a so-called minibus — funds border security, but not the wall.”
“Make no mistake: This would be a fold from the president, and would be read as such by his base on Capitol Hill. The White House would try to sell it as a victory, of sorts, heading into the holiday.”
“It would, however, be a recognition that the math simply isn’t there for Trump as he pushes for a $5 billion border wall.”

Great idea!!!! Take it to various hot spots of terrorist caravan routes, unfold it, and POW!!!! instant barrier for as long as you need it.
I like the portability aspect. get ya 3-4 of these folding walls and you can have most of the border protected, along with the the permanent barriers that have been put up.
Get a few more for that pesky northern border also. from what I am hearing, hordes of stoned Canadians are heading south to inundate us with all their nice.
