      The difference between making Mexico pay for his wall and bombing Mexico is that, as Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, he would have the ability to bomb Mexico.

      I have no idea why you don’t understand that.

      He said before his first term that he was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it and has done neither.

      He’s spent billions on a bigger DHS, a bunch of blockades of inconsistent quality built by shady Trump-aligned contractors, and transfer of military hardware to border town police forces.

      The idea that Trump hasn’t militarized the border is flatly false.
