Trump Just Sent Nonsensical Cryptic Tweet About The Wall and No One Has Any Idea What it Means
Donald Trump‘s tweets are often oddly phrased, misspelled or with random capitalization, but today’s tweet about “shutdown money” seems to have gone a step further than usual and no one seems to have any idea what he is talking about.
“The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security,” Trump wrote. “The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!”

This is, to use a technical phrase, pure gibberish. https://t.co/L41TKKxeYG

What?
This makes zero sense. Not a single dollar has ever been appropriated for a kind of wall Trump promised he would build.
If he is redefining "wall" as bollard fencing that was used under Obama, he still needs way, way more than the $5 B he wants plus the $1.3 B last year. https://t.co/7ovgzpuEn6

The wall will be paid for with "shutdown money"? Um… What? I'm going to have to avoid Twitter tomorrow at this point because I know this is only going to get more stupid and whoever was in charge of limiting his Twitter time is probably on furlough leave. https://t.co/mHz3yn4Pqr

This stupid motherfucker honestly thinks he's going to get a refind check for shutting down the government and stealing payroll from 400,000 federal employees the week before Christmas.
He really believes this is how the budget works. He's the dumbest person to ever live. https://t.co/ylDNhUbynA

Is the president well?
Because this literally makes no sense. And this guy has our nuclear codes. https://t.co/omdeSiqA8W

My takeaway from this tweet: Mexico isn't building/funding the wall. https://t.co/Le8QpB9Yyv
