Here is the real deal. Trump, Pelosi and Schumer all hit on it.

We aren’t talking about anything new when it comes to the southern border. Budgets have been passed without the wall and with Republicans in full control. Pelosi mentioned just that.

So what happened? Why now?

We stomped them in an election. That’s what. The decision makers in the Republican Party don’t care about the wall. If the wall works, like they claim, it will even hurt their biggest donors bottom line.

It’s all bullshit. It’s all rich fat cats sending red meat to their base. Their poor, white and angry base. They are ginning up emotions as they are desperate. They are stoking the flames of hate and ignorance.

They don’t care about the wall outside of political reasons. It’s currently one of the cards they cannot lose. The timing makes me think they don’t want the wall.

This is the second time he’s tried to use it as his big weapon and it has fallen flat.
