Since Trump is supposed a hotshot multibillionaire, why doesn't he pony up the initial $1.5 himself? After all, that's what the wall is really about anyway: a monument to Trump's ego.

Trump and the GOP are pure evil. Murdering our children's future, selling our national treasures to corporate polluters, poisoning our environment, raping our public lands, aiding and abetting man-made global warming, silencing science. Absolutely sickening! The damage these greedy, short-sighted cockroaches are doing cannot be undone.

The wall was always a joke. Would be a total waste of money if it were ever built, but luckily it won't. Trump proving to be even more ineffectual than expected and thankfully it is now clear he won't be able to wreak too much damage in his few remaining months in office.

Is healthcare for millions of low-income people suddenly a bargaining chip? Give us what we want or else we'll strip away heath coverage for hard working Americans? Even Republicans should be outraged at this. Threatening to put people out of work with a shutdown and denying healthcare to poor people just seems like a real scorched way of governing.

Because even he isn't so stupid as to not see how inept a government shutdown on his 100th day in office would make him look. But let's not forget the only way he spares himself this ignominy is by giving up on his most central campaign promise.

He's almost 100 days in and he literally hasn't accomplished a single thing he promised to do, but he sure has managed to enrich himself and his family at the tax-payers' expense!

He promised us he'd win so much we'd be tired of his winning.

Is anyone else tired yet?
