Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is not budging when it comes to wall funding. In her weekly news conference (watch above), she said, “it’s not a negotiation.” She also took exception with the notion that Donald Trump would cut Congress out of the process.

And it does look like Donald Trump has come to terms with the fact that he won’t be getting the money from Congress.
Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time. Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL. I’ve got you covered. Wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!

And yes Trump also clarified it’s not steel slats or a barrier, it’s back to being a wall. So that should be settled once and for all… or at least for today.
Lets just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games! A WALL is a WALL!
