Well, what did POTUS say????????

Among other things, he "did not like the private" funding effort for the wall because he didn't think it was "showboating" He did not think the wall should be privately financed, and they (the private effort) was having construction problems and he didn't want an inferior wall.

He was not aware that Bannon was involved in this project. He did not know any of the other people, besides Bannon, who was involved in this project.

“because he didn’t think it was “showboating”

Correction: He DID think it was showboating.
