Jennifer Rubin: Trump’s border wall plan was consumed by his own lies

"President Donald Trump said Tuesday he's not happy with a bipartisan border deal in Congress aimed at averting another government shutdown, but he suggested he could add to it to build his U.S.-Mexico border wall and predicted there will not be another lapse in government funding.

"'Am I happy at first glance? The answer is no, I'm not, I'm not happy,' Trump told reporters at the White House as he met with Cabinet members.

“'It’s not going to do the trick, but I’m adding things to it and when you add whatever I have to add, it’s all going to happen where we’re going to build a beautiful big strong wall,' Trump said.
