Wow! I STRONGLY disagree. I don't think Trump cares about this stupid wall. People will go through the motions and little else.

I see it differently.

I see Trump putting his whole reputation on this wall getting built. Even if it costs him his job. He wants his name to go down in history as the president who built "the wall".

I'm not kidding when I say this wall will be his 'swan song'.

He'll risk it all to get it done.

Not to mention it's only a slogan so far. If it was more Trump could have given Congress an actual plan or at least an outline of one.

Not to mention, you can't be serious about that highlighted stuff. Is this sarcasm? :o

He's not the kind of businessman to lay out a plan... that's what his minions are for.

And if his minions can't get it done, he'll take care of it his way. And his way is a sledgehammer... and a nail.

I think you're overlooking the influence of co-president Fox talking heads. From Jan 31:

That explains why he keeps threatening it without doing it. Attention seeking is what the evidence supports.

Sorry, I don't buy your analysis on this one. He just wants to move on. Figure there will be a call for an injunction within the week. And then it drags on in the courts. And on and on.

I think the British Prime Minister's Stanley Baldwin comment on the British Press Barons in the 1930's applies to the right wing media..Fox News in particular:

"They want power without responsibility...the desire of the Harlot behind the throne through the ages".

His entire life has been about risking other people’s money. Why would he be willing to risk anyth8ng at this point?

Swan song? Are you suggesting that he will retire after the wall is approved, is funded, is begun, or is well into construction? Trump may hate the work, but he loves the job. He loves AirForce One. He loves being talked about on so many channels. He is not the retiring type.

Ah.... we're already under 31 going back as far as President Carter. We're still under George W. Bush's 9/11 National Emergency Deceleration.

The only difference is what Trumps wants to declare the emergency over. Hell he's already declared 3 and it barely made the news because they were routine.

Isn't it time to do some housekeeping and tidy that **** up. It's like leaving your dirty dishes scattered around your house.
 
The emergencies he declared before were local and related to natural disasters;this is a lot different.
 
Wife of Trump communications director is strident anti-vaxxer:
Darla Shine, the wife of White House communications chief Bill Shine, falsely claimed on Wednesday that childhood diseases such as measles "keep you healthy" and "fight cancer."

In a series of tweets promoting anti-vaccination conspiracy theories – views which she has espoused publicly for years – Shine bemoaned the fact her children had received the MMR vaccine, which shields recipients against measles, mumps and rubella. She falsely claimed that her generation, the Baby Boomers, were healthier now, because they had measles as children.

TRump's obsession with TV is truly scary.
And, worse, he is beginning to appoint other TV celebs to cabinent offices.
