Democrats and Republicans have joined forces to spend $2,000,000,000,000 on American infrastructure, but not one penny of it will go to increasing border security between the U.S. and Mexico.
That’s what President Trump confirmed to Fox Business host Trish Regan last night.

“Donald Trump telling me exclusively tonight that funding for a southern border wall will NOT come from the $2 trillion infrastructure plan,” Regan tweeted with the clip of the president explaining that the wall is already being built and that “400 miles” will be completed by the end of next year.
As for the funding, Trump said, “We have it from different sources, different parts of government, including the military.”
“You know what 400 miles is? That’s a lot. That’s a lot,” he said.
