1. Still having no idea about the law or his powers as president, Trump is now declaring that the wall will not be concrete, but steel.
This is utterly illegal, for obvious reasons. Six companies won bids for wall prototypes. They have been built and analyzed. The decision on...

2...which will be chosen must be awarded by following THE LAW on federal contracting, not based on the president unilaterally declaring what material will be used for building. By declaring it will be steel, Trump has (knowingly? inadvertently?) declared that the winner of the...

6...does Trump know the steel version is far and away the most expensive? Of course not. That is detail, and throughout his life, Trump has never cared about detail. Does he know that he has proclaimed he is awarding it to KWR? Nope - not unless he has figured out a way to get...

Does he know that if he declares "a national emergency" we have to go through months of contract awarding, that you don't just send people willy-nilly down to the border....
