    Donald Trump’s border wall brinksmanship is as much about convincing his supporters he isn’t a fraud as it is about actually getting the $5B. In 2016, he estimated he would complete the entire wall within two years of starting. “And it’ll be a real wall.”

    Yes, just like Mexico is paying for the wall...

    Senator Bob Corker just stated that, “I’m so priveledged to serve in the Senate for twelve years, and that’s what I told the people of our state that’s what I’d do, serve for two terms.” But that is Not True - wanted to run but poll numbers TANKED when I wouldn’t endorse him.....

    Corker’s chief is on record saying Trump asked the senator to reconsider his decision to retire and reaffirmed he would have endorsed him had he done so.

    .....Bob Corker was responsible for giving us the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal, which I ended, yet he badmouths me for wanting to bring our young people safely back home. Bob wanted to run and asked for my endorsement. I said NO and the game was over. I LOVE TENNESSEE!

    “Who I do not know...”

    Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!

    Senior administration officials are strongly cautioning Trump against any attempt to remove an independent Fed chair, both because his legal authority to do so is highly questionable and because markets would likely react very negatively.
