1. A thread about Trump’s Friday Press Conference on the “Border Wall System & “National Security” Because that was what it was about. Yes!
2. This thread is NOT
regarding the legislative Process of how the Wall will be built.
Others have uncovered that.
3. Rather to respond to callers on the El Rushbo show Friday,(NeverTrumpers)- saying “No Wall now”
The speech confirms he WILL build it.
4. What I had seen in the “Border Wall System/National Defense Press Conference” was a Promise to build the Wall vía Red Castle.
5. To be fair, I have always believed in Trump’s FIRM “Oh don’t worry, we’re gonna Build that Wall!!!”
But beyond Trump -
6. I thank this woman. Who lives in a walled compound on a hill in San Francisco & clearly values walls. #MSFGA 🙂
7. Pelosi’s throwaway line in a 2017 interview:
“He can build the border wall whenever he wants”
Always nagged at me that she said that.
8. Video of what I call the Trump “Border Wall
System for National Defense” speech. My analysis follows.
9. He brought along the Secretaries of Defense & Homeland Security so the Press couldn’t accuse him of bluster & hyperbole. 😄
10. In the event Friday he talks on trade, the Omnibus, Dems etc...
Then: “as a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY I have signed this Omnibus”
11. The real speech: “I want to address the situation on BORDER SECURITY which I call NATIONAL DEFENSE” against “drugs, illegal immigration”
12. “NATIONAL DEFENSE is a very important two words”
13. “By having a strong BORDER SYSTEM, including a wall, we are in a position, MILITARILY, that is very advantageous.”
14.Mattis steps up to reinforce “we have just received the largest MILITARY budget in history”.
“It is our responsibility to spend wisely”
15. Trump “the BORDER we have...”
“$1.6B for the WALL immediately”
False reports this is ALL fence.
Some miles of Wall will be built!!
16. Kirstjen Nielsen: “We at the DHS work very CLOSELY with the Dept. Of Defense. We support this... and the DEFENSE of our country.”
17. “Congress chose NOT to listen to DHS on How..Where WE need it...to make sure it serves the people &” NATIONAL “SECURITY of this Nation.”
18. Trump: “have many elements in the bill that we wanted...$654.6B in total DISCRETIONARY DEFENSE”.
The WALL is made from this funding!
19. “This will give a substantial increase to people even outside of the military...military related”(Homeland Security)
20. This thread is to show that the President & his team are strongly behind the BORDER WALL SYSTEM for NATIONAL DEFENSE. It will happen!
21. The President confirms through NATIONAL DEFENSE the Military money can build the Wall!
22. Update! Hogan Gidley on @foxandfriends confirmed? the President will have an announcement for Deportation Force & Wall spending soon!
23. Thanks for looking at my first ever thread!
Please retweet if you liked! THE END
