Trump: If We Don’t Get the Wall, We’re Not Doing Anything

RUSH: Let’s go to Trump. I quoted Trump all morning. Let’s actually go to the audio sound bites. This is in Fort Myers on the tarmac at the airport. The reporter says, “Are you open to citizenship for the DREAMers over time,” you pig?

THE PRESIDENT: We’re not looking at citizenship. We’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here. We’re working with everybody. Republican, we’re working with Democrat. I just spoke with Paul Ryan. He’s on board. Everybody’s on board. They want to do something. We’re not talking about amnesty. We’re talking about… Uh, we’re talking about taking care of people, people that were brought here — people that have done a good job and were not brought here of their own volition. But very importantly, what we want, we have to have a wall. If the wall is going to be obstructed when we need the funds — at a little bit later date we’ll be determining how much we need — then we’re not doing anything.

RUSH: Oh. Well, there it was. You heard it. I mean, I quoted him earlier, but you just heard it here. If they don’t get the money for the wall… We need the funds a little bit later. That’s what Chuck and Nancy said. He said we’re gonna do the wall “a little bit later.” If we don’t get the money for the wall, the funding, and “we’re not doing anything.”

This is where he emphasizes that there’s no deal, that there was no deal, and that if the Democrats obstruct the wall, at some point he will obstruct them. This is in Fort Myers today. We played the first sound bite here right before the end of the hour. Here’s the question again from the unidentified reporter: “Why did the Democrats say there was a deal at dinner,” you pig? “Why did they say that?” You’ll also hear some unidentified female reporters, and they just get in on the act here in Trump’s answer.

But see, here’s what happened. AP puts the story out, and AP just doesn’t run in one place. AP’s in 4,000 newspapers and thus 4,000 or four million websites, and the reporters all wanted it to be true. They want the story that Chuck and Nancy rolled Trump. So the reporter asks, “Well, why did the Democrats say there was a deal?” See, the reporters think that Chuck and Nancy said they had a deal, and Chuck and Nancy are backtracking. “No, no, no, we didn’t say well.” Anyway, here’s Trump’s answer to this…

THE PRESIDENT: There was no deal, and they didn’t say that. In fact, they just put out a statement. They didn’t say that at all.

REPORTER: No release for DACA recipients unless you get the wall? Is that what you’re saying?

THE PRESIDENT: The wall… At some point, they’re going to have to… They cannot obstruct the wall. The wall, to me, is vital. If I don’t get the wall, then we will become the obstruction.

REPORTERS: (crosstalk) What has to come first, the wall?

THE PRESIDENT: We have to have an understanding whether it’s in the budget or some other vehicle, in a fairly short period of time, the wall will be funded. Otherwise, we’re not doing any deal.

RUSH: Pfft! I don’t know how it can be any more clear.
