Trump Rips ‘Obstructing’ Dems on Border Wall Funding After Watching Fox & Friends

Oh look, another Donald Trump complaint about the insufficient progress being made on his southern border wall.

The president got back on the presidential Twitter machine today, and after a number of tweets about OPEC and the economy, he let everyone know he’s really angry that there isn’t any money lying around from Congress’ spending bill that he can use to pay for the wall’s construction.

I want to know, where is the money for Border Security and the WALL in this ridiculous Spending Bill, and where will it come from after the Midterms? Dems are obstructing Law Enforcement and Border Security. REPUBLICANS MUST FINALLY GET TOUGH!

I guess we’re still waiting on that check from Mexico so they can pay for it? In any case, Trump recently suggested to Fox News that he’s prepared for another government shutdown if he can’t have his way on border security, so perhaps this isn’t much of surprise overall.

Speaking of Fox, Trump apparently got the idea to talk about the wall by watching Senator David Perdue (R-GA) appear on Fox & Friends today.

“We can’t secure the Border because of the Democrats historic level of Obstruction. The Presidents fed up with this. His agenda is working. The economy is growing at twice the rate it did under Obama. We’ve nominated and confirmed 68 Federal Judges, 26 Court of Appeals Judges….

….The thing that’s lacking is we can’t properly secure the Border because of the Democrats historic level of Obstruction.” Senator David Perdue of Georgia.
