"But I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again," said President Donald Trump. "I'm not going to do it again."
That was at a March 23 press conference after Trump had signed a $1.3 trillion continuing resolution that would fund the government through the remainder of fiscal 2018, which ended this past Sunday.
One of the things that angered Trump about that $1.3 trillion bill was that it only provided $1.6 billion for work on the border wall he had made one of his signature campaign promises. Trump had been seeking a long-term commitment of $25 billion.
"Not happy with $1.6 billion, but it does start the wall," Trump said, "and we will make that $1.6 billion go very, very far."
Flash-forward six months to Sept. 15. Now Trump expressed his dismay in a tweet, not a press conference.
"When will Republican leadership learn that they are being played like a fiddle by the Democrats on Border Security and Building the Wall?" Trump said.
"Without Borders, we don't have a country," he said. "With Open Borders, which the Democrats want, we have nothing but crime!
"Finish the Wall!" he declared.
What inspired this presidential declaration?

I say just send fliers around the country .....we will pay for you to secure the border....any illegal \ immagrant shot crossing over our boarders we will pay you and provide ammunition!.....id take the drive!
All of you should be demanding POTUS show you those checks from Mexico. When he does, THEN you can write your congressman to demand they fund the wall.
If the Democrats thought for one minute that ILLEGALS were voting for Republicans, you would see the border wall from here to space. Get real Americans!!!
