The secrete little lie about "the wall"

Trump is Trump.

He will always be Trump.

The man would put his name on goat shit and peddle if it could turn him a dime. AND, he got rich the old fashioned way, stiffing people he did deals with and declaring bankruptcy after hiding assets.

Yes, he is a moron. BUT, he is a greedy and self interested moron.

SO, he knows full well three things about "the wall."

1 - It will do jack shit relative to immigration.

2 - He always knew that WE would pay for it, and in his way we don't JUST pay for it once. With the interest on the debt we will pay for it way more that just once, and if they do impose some kind of trade fee on Mexico will pay more on it over again.

3 - The wall would be the super expansive deficit based economic boost that republicans denied BHO when the country actually needed deficit spending. Yes, for something complete fucking useless, and that just makes it even sweeter to the scumbag. But, he knows full well that pouring all of this borrowed money into building it will be a brief little sugar high for wall street that the blovating jackass will run around saying how great he has been for the economy.

THIS IS the reason for the wall all along. AND, republicans know it, too. We did manage to pass a very modest infrastructure bill in 2009, but republicans PURPOSEFULLY limited it to limit the help it would provide the economy (building/repairing infrastructure assets that actually would be of use to the country) out of deranged partisanship to try to hurt the country and BHO. And, they know why Trump REALLY wants the wall and being the fucking hypocritical POS they are more than willing to deficit spend and allow the mad king to get credit for the sugar high
