Shortly after congress delivered Trump his first legislative defeat, reports began to swirl that the legislative body may be unwilling to fund Trump’s signature campaign promise.
It’s a surprising turn of events for the Republican congress — and it shows just how divided the GOP is on simple matters. After playing the role of opposition party for years, Republicans are having trouble actually governing.
Before they were in power, disagreements among moderate and hard-line conservatives were obvious but not consequential. Now, however, the rift is making the easiest legislation difficult or impossible to pass. For seven years, Republicans ran on the promise to repeal Obamacare. Once they finally got the chance, they couldn’t make it happen.
They’ve been promising a border wall for even longer, but they may not be able to make that a reality, either. At least when it comes to the wall, they can shoulder some of the blame onto obstructionist Democrats.
Read about the significant hurdles Trump most overcome in order to fund his wall on the next page:
Well yeh he said we wouldn’t pay for it but I guess we are… don’t say$#%&!@*about getting paid back by taxes because he never said that when he was running.
trump will have trouble getting congress to do anything. isn’t that the way congress works now and when will americans get fed up enough to demand petitions with signature to run them out of office and set terms..only then will they work for the country instead of their special interests.
We need and want the wall
They better pull their heads out of their asses and get with the program!!!
GET rid of Ryan! Everyone needs to read a outline of Paul Ryan’s Omnibus Bill that totally and completely sold out every American ! The $1.1 Trillion dollar bill funded Illegals in. Every aspect but omitted the Border wall promised by Congress !
I will help,all deplorables will help him…
It’s not President Trump’s fault,it’s the media,lies,hate,and cowardly republicans,afraid they will lose votes for reelection if they act like brave adults and go against the democrats.If they do not stand with their president,none should be reelected.We do not need haters and cowards running this country.
Nice words
What kind of language is that? BUILD THE FUCKING WALL!!!!
I thought the money was already ear marked several years ago. Build the wall, Americans will buy pieces of the wall. Build the wall taller and thicker.
