President Trump early Wednesday warned members of a bipartisan conference committee tasked with negotiating border security policy that they would be “wasting their time” if they did not consider his demand for a wall along the border with Mexico.

“If the committee of Republicans and Democrats now meeting on Border Security is not discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier, they are Wasting their time!” the president tweeted Wednesday.

The warning raises the stakes for the negotiators, who meet for the first time on Wednesday. They have 16 days to reach an agreement before another partial government shutdown begins or the president decides to take other action to appropriate the funds for his border wall.

The last shutdown, which reached a record-long 35 days, largely revolved around a debate over the border wall, with Trump demanding $5.7 in funding for his key campaign promise. The Democratic majority in the House, however, refused to include the money in a spending bill.

3. So all that is needed is his stupid f'ing wall?

No other border security measures are needed according to his tweet.

The Russians must really be squeezing his nuts to buy that Evraz steel...

4. Dear Committe members, Please give the wall all the consideration it

deserves.......which is none.
Then move in to finding real solutions.

5. Why is Putin telling IQ45 to build the wall?

Other than siphoning off a huge amount of money that could truly benefit the nation's citizens, Agent Orange seems hell-bent on destroying every aspect of the United States, domestically and internationally.

When he dies I'd piss on his grave, but I hate standing in lines.

*Four* of them.
