If he wants a wall so bad he should pay for it himself

For example, investing into a shipping company that sails over the arctic ocean, by passing Panama, because its not there or severely reduced. Or, having "competitors" hampered in accessing the global economy, while making arrangements, offshoring companies, etc. that can take advantage and send the profits to Panama, Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, etc.

De Vos was a Mercer family pick. Among others. Pence agreed with the pick.

He wants to be like the Koch brothers.

His daughter, Rebekah, is just as bad, if not worse.

They first backed Cruz and then switched to Trump.

Both Conway and Bannon were employees of the Mercer Family. Still are really.

They are already beginning their 2020 push.

Bannon will go back to pushing the "alt-right" through Breitbart and sowing anger among disaffected white people. He'll continue to traffic in racism and sexism, while declaring "our way of life" is under attack by globalists, non-whites, non-Christians, women, etc..

The Mercers are every bit nationalists as Bannon.

Pretty much the same things we saw while Trump was campaigning and for the last several months.

Pandering to ignorance and hate served them well before.
