The website that was linked here is suspect.
It doesn't matter if a wall is even built, not everything Trump says will come to fruition, he's promising a lot, odds are he won't deliver on every single thing, my guess would be that if he wins, and as president, he has much more power to tell countries 'ok, this is how things are going to work' but right now, he's not in any position to be making demands that he can't currently back up. If you don't think he will build a wall, vote him in, that way, you can say 'see, told you so' after it turns out that you're right.

As anyone who negotiated for a living knows, you don't lay out all your cards on the table. Trump is not a politician. He actually worked and earned his accomplishments in the real world, which very much appeals to me.


So, a variation on "we have to pass it in order to see what's in it"? No thanks.
