Trump could have gotten his wall anytime in the past two years when his party controlled all three branches. His decision to shut down the government on the cusp of Mueller’s report and barrage of House subpoenas is proof the Trump's Shutdown has nothing to do with the wall.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He'll go for it immeadiately.
I think if you run his hand over with the presidential bullet proof limousine, his hand will immediately enlarge at little cost to the tax payer.

At this point, Trump has to realize - on some level - that the Wall is primarily a vanity project, more of a monument to himself than a legitimate means of addressing border issues.
Here's the plan: The Democrats still don't fund the Wall, but agree to use the $5.7 billion for other security measures. To get Trump to go along, they allocate another $5.7 billion to build a gigantic, gold-plated statue of Trump in the middle of New York City. They promise to make it at least 20% taller than any statue in existence, and guarantee 100% of the concession proceeds to Trump personally.
Presented with this offer (given Trump's greed and narcissism), he'll forget all about the stupid fucking Wall and re-open the government in half a minute.

45 and the GOP love to claim to be physical conservatives, but so far just in 33 days, has the potential to cost tax payers 6 billion so far. Pretty sure that is a larger number.

Part of this was his own vanity in his fear and bigot based attacks during his run yes. But, I think this is simply also just another attempt to distract from the Mueller investigation. Caravans, NFL players, attacks on the free press.

Isn’t a tangent required to have a actual point of contact with the original arc?
