The Contracts Have Been Signed, The Wall Is Coming. Here Is the Design

Sometimes you have to risk it all and leave it all on the table if you want something in reward.  Trump in his familiar fashion threatened to shut down the government if his demands are not completed. President Trump desires from the government to start the construction of the wall as soon as possible.  Just a few days after Donald Trump’s warning to shut down the administration,  U.S. Customs and Border Protection made a public announcement on Thursday that four companies will start to construct prototypes of the wall. It turns out, all four companies introduced four different prototypes of concrete walls that are supposed to separate the US and Mexico. It seems Trump’s government won’t rush things and they will make a careful decision.  They are gonna choose the design of the wall after they examine and exhaust all options. A proper evaluation is needed. According to  NBC , the prototypes are 30 feet in length and up to 30 feet in height. The construction

The commander in chief pointed to the number to suggest his political support is higher now than it was when he won the presidency. But the truth of the matter is the president’s approval ratings are still on average far lower than those of his predecessor. “Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain ‘sacred cows’,”  Trump wrote on Twitter . The commander in chief never clarifies who he means by “sacred cows.” In Trump’s world, these numbers are no exception: “Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!” The commander in chief also  retweeted his son , Eric Trump, who linked to a  Daily Mail  story about his father’s approval ratings with the hashtag #MakeAmerica
