President Donald Trump this week pulled back on his initial threats to make funding a wall along the nation’s southern border a necessary part of Congress’ legislation to prevent a government shutdown. But he promised that “the wall’s going to get built, folks,” saying that “we’re already preparing. We’re doing plans, we’re doing specifications, we’re doing a lot of work on the wall.” …
But the American people have little interest in a wall and rate it one of the least important things the president could do at this point. This leaves the president pushing for an objective out of sync with general American public opinion. CONT.
