White House Adviser Killed Proposal for Border Wall Bonds


Donald Trump has threatened to unseat many Republicans who don’t support his agenda, but maybe he should focus on the Democrats currently employed by his administration. Several liberals remain employed by the White House — and they’re destroying Trump’s campaign promises from within.

White House Chief Economic Adviser Gary Cohn—a liberal, registered Democrat, and former Goldman Sachs executive—killed a proposal that included crowdfunding the Mexico border wall with wall bonds, GotNews can exclusively confirm through multiple sources.

Cohn fretted that a decision to use Wall bonds to finance the border wall with private funds would upset House Speaker Paul Ryan and Congress.

In fact bonds are perfectly constitutional.

In March, Alaska Republican Congressman Don Young proposed that the government could sell bonds to finance the wall, and offer public financiers 2.5% interest.

According to public records from the New York state Board of Elections, Cohn’s registration as a Democrat is still active Tuesday.

But that doesn’t mean that Trump has abandoned the idea of a wall. The first all-new budget made by a Republican Congress will be debated at the end of the Summer. Perhaps that’s when we will finally see funding for Trump’s signature proposal. For now, however, it seems as though opposition to the project is coming from both within and outside of Trump’s White House.
