President Trump Insists On Christmas Day That The Border Wall Will Be Built

President Donald Trump is not backing down on his border wall plans and hopes, not even on Christmas Day. He declared to reporters in the Oval Office his prevailing sentiments.

Trump said: “’I can’t tell you when the government is going to be open. I can tell you it’s not going to be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they’d like to call it.”

He also stressed the importance of the border in his Christmas Twitter greetings.

I hope everyone, even the Fake News Media, is having a great Christmas! Our Country is doing very well. We are securing our Borders, making great new Trade Deals, and bringing our Troops Back Home. We are finally putting America First. MERRY CHRISTMAS! #MAGA

Whatever the border wall is called, Trump said, the main objective of it remains as he added: “But it’s the same thing, it’s a barrier from people pouring into our country.”

Trump also continues to lay the blame on Democrats for their failure to approve a House-passed bill that has a provision for a $5.7 billion to fund the wall. The White House and congressional Democrats continue to be locked in a stalemate over the funding for Trump’s much-vaunted U.S.-Mexico border.

I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

The federal government has partially shut down at 12 a.m. on Saturday after Congress failed to pass the spending legislation.

Trump reiterated why the wall matters to him and how it is crucial to the security of Americans. He said: “The people of this country want border security. I don’t want (murderers) in the country. The only way you’re going to do it is have a physical barrier, meaning a wall. And if you don’t have that, then we’re just not opening.”

President Trump: "Yesterday I gave out 115 miles worth of wall. 115 miles in Texas. And it's going to be built, hopefully rapidly. I'm going there at the end of January for the start of construction." https://t.co/CLtbYkaxrA pic.twitter.com/g3iiLa3Hzv

The President has announced on his Twitter account last Sunday that he has already awarded a contract for a 115-mile-long wall section to be built in Texas. He said: “It’s going to be built hopefully rapidly. We’re going to have a great wall there.”

I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved!

The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!

Trump underscored that the battle over funding will not get in the way as he shared: “So while we’re fighting over funding, we’re also building.”

The Senate is expected to do better on Thursday when it reconvenes in regular session to work toward a compromise.
