The Cost of Trump's Wall

Range of estimates

Here are some relevant projections, as chronicled by news publication Quartz.

• In July 2016, Bernstein Research, a firm that analyzes material costs, put the price tag at $15 billion to $25 billion, for a wall that stretches 1,000 miles and is 40 feet high, which was Trump’s initial desired height.
  
• In January 2017, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said the wall’s cost would be $12 billion to $15 billion.
  
• In February 2017, a leaked report from the Department of Homeland Security put it much higher, at $21.6 billion.
  
• In April 2017, the Democratic staff report cited the nearly $70 billion cost.
  

"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall."

Donald Trump on Mexico

• "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best... They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people"
• Mexico is "ripping off the US more than almost any other nation"
• "Mexico continues to make billions on not only our bad trade deals but also relies heavily on the billions of dollars in remittances sent from illegal immigrants in the United States"
• "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words"
• "Under my administration anyone who illegally crosses the border will be detained until they are removed out of our country and back to the country from which they came."

If we build it, they will come...legally, believe me!

Trump's War

The wall, taxes, tariffs, deportations, Obamacare, guns, military strength, schools, abortion, religion - what will the new president do? 

The "Godfather of Trumpmania," Michael Savage, examines the initial appointments, speeches, tweets and history of Donald Trump and offers his insights and analysis. The man many consider to be the determining factor in driving Trump over the finish line by motivating millions of undecideds and the "Deplorables," who would have otherwise sat out the election, provides a crucial first look at the early direction of the Trump presidency. Savage has waged a twenty-five year war on the radio to save America's borders, language and culture from a progressive onslaught that is already turning Europe into a socialist, multiculturalist nightmare, where violent gangs of radical Islamic refugees terrorize defenseless citizens on a daily basis.  

Here's what ordinary Americans think of this book:
 

For what few RIGHT-WINGERS that there seem to be in this country, to say **nothing** of Michael Savage fans that exist in America, this book is a **must**, as well as any other book that Michael Savage has penned. It tells us of the war that President Trump is waging against the enemies of America, as well as to why President Trump is losing it, due to an uncooperative Political-Party; the very Party that President Trump ran for the office of President under. LOL I can't wait to read the possible sequel to this book that Michael Savage might pen. 

Reading this book is like listening to Savage on the radio. I must say he is right on about everything he lays out and probably a lot more than one thinks about. As time has passed since Trump's election, a lot of what Michael has stated and written has occurred almost like a premonition of the future.
