Keeping track of the many inconsistencies uttered by Donald Trump around his border wall plans could be a full-time job. He’s said, at different times, that the wall is already being built, that it isn’t being built and that’s a national emergency, that Mexico is paying for the wall, that he needs five billion dollars in taxpayer funding to pay for the wall, that the wall will be concrete, that the wall will be see-through (that’s a fence), and that the wall will be steel.
At this point, no one believes him other than his deluded fanbase.
Only one part of this can be determined to be true: the vice president met with Democrats today. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.
No Democrat has confirmed that any “plan” was agreed upon. In fact, no Republican has said so, either, other than Trump, who lies on average around 15 times a day and has lied repeatedly about this very same issue. Trump lies about it being necessary and why it’s being built. It certainly won’t stop immigration, drugs, or human trafficking; that happens right here in the United States. Planes, boats, and tunnels won’t be stopped by a wall. This is nothing more than a vanity project that Trump doubled down on once Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter threw a fit. That’s why 800,000 federal workers are now being held hostage.
Twitter was not buying these lies for a minute; they’ve heard far too many of them to blindly accept them now. Read some of their comments below:
