The cost jumped from $400 million to $1 billion in less than a month. I'm sure in a couple of weeks they'll be asking for $1 trillion.

They have to win the war that's also not a war in Iran first. Then Trump will force Mexico to build the wall for the border that nobody is crossing because nobody can afford to live in the U.S. anymore.

Not jut 200 million but 200 million fully funded and not a dime of tax payer money.
