Trump Should Reject the Border Deal
Trump should refuse to sign the congressional compromise. It is a joke and an insult!
In February of last year, Trump rejected a bipartisan proposal that would have given him $2.5 billion specifically for a wall in 2018 plus another $22.5 billion over the next nine years, also specifically for a wall. Then in December he rejected the bill unanimously passed by the Senate that would give him $1.5 billion for border security, not a wall, leading to a prolonged shutdown. The new compromise is $1.375 billion solely for "bollard" fencing. He keeps getting worse offers. That's not the art of the deal!
What is bollard fencing anyway? I think it's the short metal and concrete polls spaced close enough together to keep cars from driving through. You see them on sidewalks outside the entrances to buildings.
If he signs this, then he deserves to be a laughingstock.
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
