    Trump Willing to Hold Off on Border-Wall Funding

    President’s flexibility on wall funding could ease bipartisan deal on spending bill to avoid a government shutdown later this week (hee hee)

    WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump is open to waiting until later this year to secure funding for a wall along the border with Mexico, White House officials said Monday night, in a shift that could clear the way for lawmakers to strike a deal to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday.

    Mr. Trump and top administration officials previously indicated the president wanted to include money to begin building a wall along the southern border in the bill to keep the government running after its current funding expires at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, which is also the president’s 100th day in office.

    The president addressed the issue at a reception with conservative media at the White House on Monday night. The president’s new flexibility over whether the wall is funded in this spending bill or one that will be needed in late September could remove one of the last remaining hurdles facing congressional Democrats and Republicans hammering out the five-month bill they must pass this week to avoid a partial government shutdown.

    Without the debate over the border wall, lawmakers may be able to come to an agreement on the spending bill relatively quickly. Both Democrats and Republicans had signaled they were willing to increase money for the military and for broader border security before administration officials last week indicated that Mr. Trump would press for money to begin building the wall.

    There had been little appetite among Republicans on Capitol Hill to demand funding now for the border wall specifically, rather than offer a general boost for tighter border security. Democrats, whose votes will be needed to pass the spending legislation in the Senate, had said they would oppose a spending bill that included money to start building the border wall.

    “It’s good for the country that President Trump is taking the wall off the table in these negotiations,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement Monday night. Earlier Monday, Mr. Schumer had said the wall was a “nonstarter” for Democrats. “Now the bipartisan and bicameral negotiators can continue working on the outstanding issues,” he said.

    More dangerous and less integrity than Obama.

    Americans are getting really bad at this voting thing.

    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    Now it's the democrats turn to pretend to be worried about spending and borrowing. Funny how that works.

    My guess is the republicans make a deal and give democrats some other spending in return for wall spending.

    Hopefully, he'll get muh wall built when he is in a better position to do it. The deep state is really fighting him hard, but Trump knows the art of the deal and is the best negotiator.

    Trump may not be backing down on building that wall!

    See: Donald Trump just caved on the border wall (or did he?)


    "Not this week," White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said of the push for $1.4 billion as a downpayment for the border wall in a Tuesday morning interview with Fox News. "Building that wall and having it funded remains an important priority to him," she added. "We also know that that can happen later this year and into next year."


    Trump needs to have a rally with a stage filled with victims who have suffered from Mexican drug and human trafficking, and MS-13 gang violence ___ all of which a wall would greatly reduce ___ and then ask Chucky-boy-Schumer and pretty-boy Paul Ryan why they are resisting shelling out a measly $ 1.4 BILLION down payment to start building a wall! Have the Drug Cartels paid these two off?

    JWK




    American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade our borders to give birth

    "You have some of his surrogates now saying that Donald Trump, when he talks about the wall, is also talking about not just a physical wall, but a technological or a virtual wall, raising some questions about what exactly that means," NBC's Hallie Jackson reported Monday afternoon.

    Trump may be shifting towards building more of a "virtual wall" on the border, reports @halliejackson

    The Trump campaign is denying this, anonymously. But perhaps not even they know what their boss is about to do with his immigration policy.

    Trump, after all, has been waffling for more than a week now about what to do about mass deportation. And there have indeed been certain surrogates floating the idea of more figurative wall.
