Trump Contradicts Himself On Border Wall In Tweets 11 Minutes Apart

Source: Huffington Post

12/31/2018 11:57 pm ET

Mexico’s paying for it with trade savings. Democrats should fund it with tax dollars. Fickle Trump gives Twitter whiplash.

By Mary Papenfuss


During President Donald Trump’s frenzy of tweets Monday, he appeared to contradict himself on funding for his border wall within minutes.

First, he promised: “MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL.” Then, in the next tweet 11 minutes later, he attacked the Democrats for what he predicted will be their decision to allocate “NOTHING to border security, namely the Wall.”


MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL through the many billions of dollars a year that the U.S.A. is saving through the new Trade Deal, the USMCA, that will replace the horrendous NAFTA Trade Deal, which has so badly hurt our Country. Mexico & Canada will also thrive - good for all!

The Democrats will probably submit a Bill, being cute as always, which gives everything away but gives NOTHING to Border Security, namely the Wall. You see, without the Wall there can be no Border Security - the Tech “stuff” is just, by comparison, meaningless bells & whistles...

You know, helping Trump with his wall Tweets. Who would invite Miller to a New Year's Eve party?

I am wondering why he stayed in DC to keep kissing the large flabby orange butt? Maybe he enjoys trips to the WH when he sees Miller?

16. Graham and Miller. Ugh, I don't even like to think of that combination.

Graham might be barking up the wrong tree though as Miller is most likely an incel.

that was found by Mueller's team is not of Miller. I wonder if he sprayed the fake hair on other parts of his body, to see how real it looked??

4. Typically takes dumbass about 10 minutes to compose a tweet.

Even when he is rambling on with something that takes more than the artificial character limit. It's like it takes him 4 seconds to type one character. Maybe takes some time out when grunting on the hopper, where he tweets, but for whatever reason, he is a slow writer.

I'd bet he is on a serious cocktail of drugs daily....Xanax, Adderall, Vicodin, just the tip of the iceberg IMO...
