In what appears to be complete capitulation on the wall, Trump tweeted Thursday morning that, “The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.”

Since when did the border wall mean renovation of old fences?
Trump spent years campaigning for a wall and promised of a “great wall” of “hardened concrete” and “rebar and steel”.

Thursday afternoon Trump clarified that 'ultimately' the border wall must be part of immigration deal; 'If we don't have the wall, we're doing nothing.' If by border wall he means 'renovation of old and existing fences' then yeah he probably will be able to get money for his 'wall'.

Just more fake news...
In other words....Suckers!
The tweet from Trump says they now are renovating old areas, but that the wall wiil be built.
This article is fake reporting.
There seem to be a lot of “Trump supporters” who are looking for every excuse, real or imagined, to not be a “Trump supporter”. A lot of pearl clutching & hyperventilating is going on over things that have not happened.
Listen to what the President said on the tarmac in FL this morning.
No deal has been done. No amnesty has been granted. No capitulation on the wall has been agreed to.
The left is trying to peel away & divide the 63 million Americans who elected Trump.
Bulltwarky - it’s not what he said and intimated during running for office. Is this fake news again?
Not worried.
Or maybe a lot of us who voted for him want to make sure he is held accountable to his promises, instead of licking his butt?
Dear God the pearl-clutchers are getting tiresome.
Donald Trump is doing an outstanding job and has not signed ONE piece of Legislation that goes against anything he promised during his campaign.
Look at Trump’s tweet. How the hell is this not concerning?
But I'm absolutely certain that when he views the prototypes now under construction for "the wall", he'll find a couple of them magnificent and even better than a solid, concrete wall.
The object is to secure the border...not to mince words.
Most recently, Kelly called it a barrier...and that's probably the best definition which covers every kind of "wall" under the sun..
The original Cruz supporters and Never-Trumpers are coming out of the woodwork now, and doing their best to undermine Trump in the eyes of his supporters.
And they;ll pay hell for it.
Press Sec Sanders: Trump Is ‘100 Percent Committed to the Wall’

“The left is trying to peel away & divide the 63 million Americans who elected Trump.”
Not just the left, but also the original Never-Trumpers on the right. The Cruz supporters, Mark Levin and NRO crowd.
And we have dimwits here on FR egging them on.
Don’t you emember the chants: “Renovate the Fence!”
Trump is still my guy.
Nothing Trump said indicates that is true.
Stop pissing your pants.
Trump just waived environmental regulations to get as much done on the wall as he could>
I agree he should be held accountable. Believe me, I e-mail the whitehouse.gov several times a week reminding them that 63 million people voted for a BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL.
But I'm not jumping off the Trump Train until something is a done (or not done) deal. I'm not looking to bail every time the media tries to shove us off the Trump Train.
