Mar-a-Lago Estate: Border Wall

mar-a-lago estate: He said building his signature border wall is all about National Defence, according to CTV. Since grudgingly signing the bill on Friday after threatening a veto, Trump has faced fierce criticism from conservatives who have accused him of caving to congressional Democrats. Trump said on Twitter from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that because of the military funding, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. The president said Friday at the White House he was very disappointed in the package, in part because it didn't fully pay for his border wall. Trump sought 25 billion for his border wall, but the plan included much less -- 1.6 billion for building new sections of wall and replacing older sections. But Trump said he had no choice because the nation needed to fund the military. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
