Even if re-elected, there's no way this breaks ground without legal battles before 2024. He's gunning for a short news cycle win for a thing that happening even if it can somehow reaming getting funded for years and years.
There are already segments of the wall just like what Trump would build. I hope the next president isn't petty enough to only tear down the portions built under Trump. That would make them as big of a clown as we already have.
It would take multiple presidents before the wall is even completed. If he manages to get a small bit up though I bet it'll likely just stay and he'd be happy about having his own little monument
I still find it funny that Jesus Reagansl's most famous sound bite is about tearing down a stupid wall and his current incarnation is about building one up here at home. The irony would have been super delicious if it wasn't so goddamn stupid.
Of course not. The current president wants a wall and tighter immigration reform, yet the same can be said of many of his predecessors, people in the legislative branch, and of people in the future. Remember, like it or not, a big part of the country voted to have a wall, it's not just one man's idea.
