According to ABC News 400 million dollars was wasted on this boneheaded project. That 400 plus the million a day being spent in DC could have gone to state/local law enforcement or schools instead of being pissed away in a cruel political stunt. Both Cankles & DuhSantis share the blame!

Trump has been stiffing people for 50 yrs. Now that he thinks the US Treasury is his to manage what’s to stop him from having the US stiff companies and then settle with them for 10 cents on a dollar. God forbid he take over the Fed and have access to our gold.
