I figured that The Wall, being the biggest, most beautiful structure ever constructed by humans in the history of the world, deserved its own thread here. If for no other reason than to give members the chance to give their own estimations of what is going to ultimately happen with The Wall, the #TrumpShutdown, the National Emergency etc..
I'll offer that I believe one of the talking heads on MSNBC nailed it last night: Trump is going to back himself into a "victory". Instead of demanding 2000 miles of a concrete wall, he is already down to "steel slats" (Jaws of Life, anyone?). Eventually he will be demanding 654 miles of some physical barrier. He will get that, and declare victory.
HOW will he get that?
IT ALREADY EXISTS, and existed before he took office. Will that factoid matter in the least to his base? No.
I personally doubt that he'll further risk immediate impeachment by trying to invoke Emergency Powers, but ... maybe he's that stupid.
Anyhow, that's my read and the read of the talking head on MSNBC.
Your ideas?
