BREAK GROUND, NOT PROMISES
January 23, 2019
Several months into the Trump administration, I started running a daily
"Border Wall Construction Update" on Twitter, announcing how many miles
of the wall had been completed that day and how many miles since the
inauguration. It was always the same numbers: 0 and 0, respectively.
I was immediately attacked by people in the Trump base. You're being unfair, he hasn't had enough time, there's a legislative process, he's doing the best he can.
As days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months and months turned to years, and not 1 inch of the wall was built, the "3-D chess" crowd dwindled.
Sometimes Trump would concede he hadn't built any part of the wall. Sometimes he would fib and claim it was being built. There's no way to sugarcoat it: That was a lie.
Drug dealers, drunk drivers, criminals, welfare dependents and low-wage workers driving down American wages continued to flow across our border.
We are now past the midway point of Trump's first term, maybe his only term. If Trump couldn't come up with a legislative fix when he controlled both houses of Congress, he's sure not going to now that he's lost the House.
We are headed for another failed Republican presidency.

The occasional fib that the wall was being built has now become the refrain, but it's still a lie.
And Rush Limbaugh is endlessly repeating it on his show today. What a joke, and it's on you.
