Trump says border wall will 'pay for itself' in Oval Office address

In an address from the Oval Office Tuesday night, President Trump made his case for funding a border wall. He claimed the "steel barrier" will "pay for itself." His comments come amid an ongoing government shutdown that has left thousands of federal workers without pay.

We the Tax payers pay 135 billion for ilegal imigration, 500 billion to fight the 90% o f drugs tgat come thru that border, not to mention the abuse of social programs. It would pay for it self in weeks mot months!

The national crisis is the guy reading off the teleprompter lying to you.

Can’t wait till that wall gets built. Keep up the good work.

Infrastructure pays for itself, fortress America does not ....

[JoJoBlair]

Can someone explain HOW the wall will actually be effective? At all?

[justinbustin]

He has long ago lost his credibility. Talking threw your teeth.

Don't forget that this is only a down payment. He won't say that this is all it costs for the actual "wall/barrier/beads".

Who wrote that speech that said nothing why is our government shut down when trump promised Mexico would pay for it .and if he is against immigration why are they working in his golf clubs shame.

This man is disgusting. Where is his compassion for the victims of gun violence? Why isn't he giving speeches about families like mine who are grieving loved ones killed with firearms? Has he mentioned that he's willing to call a state of emergency to tighten gun laws and save our children dying in schools? Of course not, if he would do that he would lose his radical conservative support. He only pretends to care when it benefits him. It's such a slap in the face when he pretends to care just so he can build an ineffective wall

[mmmm]

Tired of paying for the worlds poor, not fair to taxpayers

[mikeletterst]

Build that damn wall! Keep those criminals outside of our country..

[wilparsons]

"Imma speaking to you" D. Trump

[mikemyguyyy]

What’d he say that was a lie? Y’all are just letting your feelings mask facts.
