It was not Trump. I believe he honestly thought we could get the wall because so many people, not politicians, were behind him and the wall.
He got talked out of holding out for it early in his term, when he should have drawn the line. Pence and Javanka were all for healthcare first — and then he got that pulled out from in front of him after months of congressional dallying.
It’s amazing what he’s got done so far on the economy and started on foreign affairs.
But the Swamp unfortunately still toys with him at this point.
