A year in review on the WALL strategy. More detail
1. Trump runs and wins in Nov 8th,2016. His campaign promised among other agenda items a big beautiful Wall.

2. Nov 9th, 2016 the Dems and many gope promise there will be no Wall

3. Between Nov 9th, 2016 and Jan 20th, 2017 a very public and massive camapign was launched to push the concept that the Wall was not popular. Fake polls were employed, narratives were pushed that it wouldn't work, waste of money etc. All to get Trump to soften his stance.

4. Jan 20th, 2017 Trump takes oath of office. Promises strong protected borders. Jan 25th Trump signs EO to begin Wall

5. Jan 20th to May 2017. Wall funding is sought in the supplemental budget. The Senate obstructs. Gives money for border repair, prototypes but no Wall

6. May until Sept, 2017 work continues on repair and replacing 6ft fencing with 20ft steel fencing. Trump admin continues to push for funding for the wall in 2018 budget.

7. House passes $1.6 billion in funding in spending bill. Plus advances a $10 billion wall bill

8. Aug, 2017 in AZ Trump promises the Wall will be built even if the Dems force a shutdown.

9. Sept 5 Trump ends DACA

10. Sept 6 Trump Chuck and Nancy make deal for 3 month CR.

11. Sept 13th Chuck and Nancy meet with Trump on DACA . Deal reached peace in on time....

12. Sept 14th...all a lie no deal reached. Sen. Schumer draws line in Sand there will be no Wall ever. Trump says hold my diet coke

13. Sept 26th prototypes start construction. Finished by end of October.

14. Nov, Senate passes $1.6 funding for wall out of committee. Schumer and dems vow to filibuster.

15. Dec CR ends extended and new one passed for Jan 19., 2018

16. Jan public DACA meeting agreement on framework for deal is made Wall, DACA, chain migration, lottery

17. Dems/cheap labor gope stuck with deal they don't want. Release the shithole/racist comment to get Trump to cave. He doesn't.

18. Jan 20th dems and gope cheap labor senators shutdown gov to get Trump to cave. So far he hasn't

19. Extras Remember GOPe wanted 18 month CR in sept. Wall would have never been funded. Trump forcing a 3 month CR on the gope made them fund the wall.

20. Extras Back in Aug Trump knew it might end in a shutdown to get Wall. Ending DACA created leverage for the Wall. Chain migration and lottery added later due to terrorist attacks.

21. Schumer caved and tried to bring back orginal deal daca for wall but Trump and GOP said no.

22. Trump answer to Cryin Chuck caving was to demand all $20 billion up front. Schumer was shook decided to do #SchumerShutdown . Bad mistake.

23. So now the Dems have shut down the gov over wall funding, DACA , chain migration and lottery system

24. Trump and GOP will not talk about it until gov back in business. Crying chuck stuck. Will have to settle for 3 week CR as a fig leaf to save face.

25. Now go back and follow the chess moves. Who was directing this? Who placed the Dems/ gope in aterrible defensive position?

26. That would be that very stable genius. The end .
