THE WALL: Is Trump Breaking A Key Campaign Promise? [Exclusive statements from Ann Coulter, Roger Stone]
The promise to build a “big, beautiful wall” on the US-Mexico border continues to be an albatross around the neck of Donald Trump’s Administration as “establishment” Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress continue to push back against his plan for the wall — which was the centerpiece of his unprecedented victory in the 2016 election — despite unyielding pressure from the same voters that brought him that victory, who still expect now-President Trump to keep his promise.
President Trump: "Ultimately, we have to have the wall. If we don't have the wall, we're doing nothing"
10:14 AM - Sep 14, 2017
But after meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to discuss plans to give amnesty to the hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers” who came to this country illegally as children, rumors began to circulate that President Trump would not insist on funding for the much-needed border wall as a condition for signing the amnesty bill known as the DREAM Act, which is now favored not only by liberals but by RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) like House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc).
Coulter, who made one of the strongest cases for a Trump Presidency in her book “In Trump We Trust,” told The Gateway Pundit that repairing the existing fences on the border — many of which were built during the administration of now-NeverTrumper George W. Bush — is evidence of a complete failure by Trump on border security.
“Oh give up hoping for a silver lining!,” Coulter said in an email to TGP, adding that the hope conservatives expressed that a wall would be built by voting for Trump was a “hail-mary pass” that fell incomplete.
“It didn’t work,” she said.
But veteran Republican operative and former Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone told The Gateway Pundit he remains optimistic about the prospects for building the wall despite Trump’s pledge to sign the DREAM Act, which would replace President Obama’s unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
“With illegal border crossings dropping off substantially because of more vigorous enforcement, it is not clear what real harm a compromise on DACA will to do,” Stone said in a statement obtained exclusively by TGP.
Stone cautioned, however, that the MAGA movement’s support for the President they elected is not endlessly “elastic,” and predicted Trump will discover that ” if you stretch it beyond a certain point it will break.”
