What about repealing the tax cuts to pay for the wall

I'd like someone in the media ask Trump and McConnell of they would be willing to raise taxes to pay for the wall. That will show how much of an emergency they really believe it is.

If you support the wall you can pay a “maga” tax to pay for it. This is an optional tax for the “maga” patriots.

He is just waving his Mushroom dick around, showing the world he has the power to hurt more people than any other President ever in the history of mankind. Because when the US government shuts down the whole world will suffer in one way or another.
