President Donald Trump addresses supporters during a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday. Speaking of his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border, Trump said, “If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall."Re: Aug. 23 news story.
Many of us are surprised and disappointed that the president promised to make Mexico pay for his wall along the southern border, but is now pushing not only for a budget to pay for the wall with our tax dollars, but threatening to shut down the U.S. government if we don’t pay for it.
What happened to his promise to get Mexico to pay for it? My suggestion is that if he can’t force Mexico to pay for it, since he is so rich, the president pay for it himself. After all, he’s been avoiding paying taxes up to now.
