So the promised "big, beautiful, tremendous, thirty foot high wall that Mexico is paying for," that Trump has shut down the Government over, is now just a "semantic argument?"

Does this mean the demagogues as Hannity and alike are going to start selling that the "big, beautiful, tremendous, thirty foot wall that Mexico is paying for" was really meant to be a fence all along? that Trump fooled them? that it is all the Democrats fault? that the media lied when they reported Trump promised a "big, beautiful, tremendous, thirty foot wall that Mexico is paying for"

What is the spin going to be next?

Trump lied, you've been played, plain and simple
