If the 63 million Americans that voted for Trump chipped in $80 each, Trump has the money for the wall. How about Go Fund Me?

So does this mean Americans finally realized that Mexico isn't going to pay for the wall?

I wouldn't count that out just yet. Maybe not formally the government, but Mexicans at border crossings is definitely possibility as a per head tax.

350 million people cross the southern border every year. At $100 a head, a border wall pays for itself in one year.

Congress approved the $5.6B for the wall today.

Meaningless because they do not have the votes in the Senate to pass this.

I thought they had majority 53 to 47? Or are some of the 53 lame ducks.

spending bill requires 60 votes to pass. Numbers you quote are for seats before midterm votes. The increase R numbers in Senate does not occur until in January. Not all R are in favor of funding the wall and all democrats say they are opposed. Finally, a number of Senators have already left Washington for the holidays therefore, anyway you count this, there is not the votes in the Senate to pass wall funding at this time.

The wall is a diversion from the real issues trump wants to deal with.
Like giving the Middle East to the Russians
Like sacrificing Israel
Like money from the Saudis

The more he makes the wall an outrageous and talked about event the less people spend on the real issues.

Want a wall build a *** wall so what. But it's all the hype around it that takes the focus off the trump family corruption.
