Only 36 percent of Americans support Trump's wall proposal

Fake President Trump this week pulled back on his initial threats to make funding a wall along the nation's southern border a necessary part of Congress' legislation to prevent a government shutdown. But he promised that "the wall's going to get built, folks," saying that "we're already preparing. We're doing plans, we're doing specifications, we're doing a lot of work on the wall." His administration has in fact already put out preliminary requests for proposals for building parts of the wall, and some firms have already responded with their conceptual plans.

But the American people have little interest in a wall and rate it one of the least important things the president could do at this point. This leaves the president pushing for an objective out of sync with general American public opinion.

This is exactly the sort of thing you're going to see more and more of under a president who won undemocratically.

Compounding that is the fact that he's risking a government shutdown on day 100 of his presidency -- despite the fact his party controls both houses of Congress and the White House. That is unprecedented ineptitude and simply does not happen.
