Trump reflects on why the Mexico-funded wall wasn't approved in the Republican House & Senate.

We are building the Wall now, but the reason the badly needed Wall wasn’t approved in the Republican controlled House and Senate was that we had a very slim majority in the Senate, & needed 9 Democrat votes. They were totally unwilling to give Wall votes to us, want Open Borders!

I hear he wrote a book about that. Why couldn't he make a deal that would have attracted Democratic support? Was he just incompetent or too impotent to get the job done?
