January 30, 20241 yr Trump turned down deals that included $25 billion for a wall 2 times, and then his party lost control of the House in 2019. There was no funding for a wall because the great deal maker couldn't make a deal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/shutdown-has-been-a-year-in-the-making-11547498818 Quote Trump-Schumer negotiations: In January 2018, Mr. Trump met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) for 90 minutes, with then-chief of staff John Kelly the only White House aide present. Mr. Schumer offered the president $25 billion over an unspecified period to be used for a border wall, paired with a path to citizenship for the young immigrants. Mr. Trump in September 2017 had ended an Obama-era program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, that allowed those immigrants to work and shielded them from deportation. An appeals court in November rejected Mr. Trump’s move to end the program, which is expected to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Mr. Kelly later called Mr. Schumer, saying that the White House considered the deal too liberal and that it didn’t do enough to end the system that prioritizes immigrants who already have family ties in the U.S. Bipartisan Senate proposal: In February 2018, a bipartisan group of senators hashed out a compromise proposal that would have provided $25 billion for border security over 10 years, starting with a $2.5 billion installment last year. It would also have enabled about 1.8 million young immigrants to become citizens over a 10-to-12-year timeline, but it sought to bar them from sponsoring their parents from citizenship. Lawmakers believed it could have passed the GOP-held Senate had Mr. Trump endorsed it, but he opposed it, saying it didn’t do enough to curb legal immigration. The measure then failed in the Senate in a 54-45 vote. It was never taken up by the House, which was then controlled by Republicans who worked on their own set of immigration bills. Senate stopgap spending bill: Shortly before Christmas, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) brought a bill to the Senate floor that would have extended the government’s current funding through Feb. 8. Mr. McConnell said at the time that he was closely communicating with the White House and lawmakers expected Mr. Trump to sign it. But after it passed the Senate, Mr. Trump appeared to change his mind and, encouraged by House Republicans, said the next day that he would veto it because it didn’t meet his demand for border-wall funding. The Senate bill would have extended current funding for the Homeland Security Department, including money for fencing, bollard barriers, levees and technology—but not a concrete barrier. Democrats say a sweeping spending bill that passed earlier last year included $1.3 billion for border security, while Republicans, counting slightly differently, say it included $1.57 billion. In late December, at Mr. Trump’s urging, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill providing $5.7 billion for a border barrier. That bill didn’t have enough support to pass the Senate, then or now. When House Democrats took control in early January, the Congress and White House were left at an impasse when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said her chamber wouldn’t approve any funding for a border wall.

Trump should have built ten walls, but only got a few small sections built? That's some pretty poor management there.

You should definitely take this opportunity to go get you one of those F-16’s or a tank!!! Go get yourself a tank, just drive right off with it!!! #FAFO What would you need any of that for? They'd be too busy using those to play with interested third parties.
