Trump back to tower

Who will pay for the wall? We were told many times by Donald Trump that Mexico will pay for it. We all know how much he lies, so we should have expected it when the president of Mexico told him “no.”

Now he wants the taxpayers (us) to pay for it. Bad Idea unless he means his base, who believe everything he utters. The majority who didn’t vote for him shouldn’t have to pay for his campaign promises. This guy has about as much business in the White House as Mickey Mouse (sorry, Mickey). He thinks he’s still on “The Apprentice” and Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell work for him. He has got to be brought back to reality in spite of his ego and delusions of grandeur.

The American people should not have to go through daily uncertainty about what’s happening to our nation. He always goes off script (written for him) and turns into Donald the unpredictable liar and tells Congress he’ll shut down the government if they don’t give him the money for the wall.

Now that Congress is back in session, it should send him back to Trump Tower, or as I call it, the “Tower of Babble.”
