    Ah, will he or won't he?

    Clearly Mexico is not paying for Trump's wall, so the plan appears to be form us to pay for it, whether or not we want it. Trump has at times demanded that he be given money so he can build this wall, and congress responds.

    Usually with a big no.

    So it goes again. As yet another fiscally irresponsible spending bill comes forward with the government set to "close" next week, will the ever vacillating president cave once again and sing the bill with no wall funding?

    https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/congress-set-to-fund-government-but-not-trumps-wall/1470334181

    Trump himself raised the possibility last week that he may not sign the measure unless wall funding is included.

    "Where is the money for border security and the wall in this ridiculous spending bill?" Trump said Thursday on Twitter. Republicans "must finally get tough" against Democrats he said are obstructing law enforcement and border security, he added.

    But it seems only Trump can stop the spending legislation from becoming law. Biggs and other conservatives admit they don't have the numbers to defeat the spending bill in the House, given that leaders from both parties support the legislation.

    yeah, its time to Trump to put up or shut up. He said he would not sign it again without the wall.

    What kills me is why we do not have eVerify mandated yet. That was a promise from Trump too, and it would work better than a wall.

    Because democrats and republicans have sold out to globalist and are trying to fundamentally transform our country and erase its identity.

    Well, they have definitely sold out to cheap labor, which is why nothing has been done by either side.

    He has tunnel vision on the wall because he is more worried about perception than anything else.

    Once he signs the spending bill without wall funding he sets himself up to loose to a Democrat next time around.

    Looks like Trump set himself up for a lose-lose situation.
