Trump was only able to get funding by declaring a national emergency and diverting funds from other areas, primarily from defense funds.Anyone buying into the idea that Trump never tried to build a wall because some Democrat says so is the one getting played.  And we all see why the Democrats tried so hard to keep Trump from building the wall.  Democrats have sold us out on national security.</blockquote>
