Trump's Plan For The Border Wall Materializes | The Daily Caller

Donald Trump plans to begin the process of constructing a wall on the southern border in March, sources familiar with the president-elect?s transition team told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The transition team is planning big spending negotiations with Congress at that time, which will include money for the wall ? a platform on which Trump built his campaign for the presidency. He plans to make Mexico pay for the wall directly or indirectly by increasing fees on visas and border crossing cards, enforcing trade tariffs and taxing money transfers abroad.

Sure. In less than two months Trump will decide exactly where the wall will be built (which is a massive task being as you have to survey three thousand miles), figure out exactly what we are building (is this a wall, will it have guard towers, power, etc?), then price it out, get the funding approved, then go through the process of selecting god only knows how many contractors to build the damn thing.
And this is Trump will have a problem - he fails to understand how government works. Trump cannot say "build a wall" and it's build. It's not his business, and not his money. It's not "his government" but instead "our government", and it's not "his money" but instead "our money". There is a process. And that process is not going to be quick.
This is going to be so much fun to watch.
