Trump lies when he says the wall is being built now

Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time. Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL. I’ve got you covered. Wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!

Claims about The Wall have gotten harder to fact-check in the last month. Both sides have shifted in what they consider “wall,” taking cues from Trump’s shifts. https://t.co/VEmjenjUKZ

President Trump keeps saying, "The wall is getting built."

Fact check: This is false. No construction has begun on the wall President Trump promised. The president said he would be going to a "ground breaking" for the wall around the time of SOTU and that hasn't happened.

#Trump is claiming:

1. Mexicans have amazing cars, better than the Border Patrol.

2. Women are crossing border bound up with tape.

3. Prayer rugs left in the desert.

70% say the wall is not worth a shutdown

Trump should end his shutdown now!

CBS poll: 70% Americans said that the issue of a border wall is not worth a government shutdown.

70% of Americans rarely agree on anything, and yet Trump and McConnell are still hurting millions of people, putting us in danger, risking a recession.

Open the damn government.

I am sure he is just making stuff up again.
