The president is exploring 'different' sources to pay for his proposed wall along the Mexican border, the White House says. It could be a sign the administration is backing away from a confrontation with Congress days before a partial government shutdown.

alan_gamm Get Mexico to dip into their coffers 💲😁

The “sources” are still taxpayer money and it needs to stop. We need people like SenSasse to step up and not allow this to happen.

Wait.....you mean Mexico isn’t going to gladly pay for it?

So, I’m starting to assume Mexico really isn’t going to pay Dang!! 😂😂

1) Mexico = nope 2) Congress = nope 3) Pentagon = nope 4) Trump supporters Go Fund Me = nope Once you promise people a 'free wall' no one wants anything less than free.

I thought Mexico was paying? realDonaldTrump

OMG! He's going to charge tolls.

Didn't TRUMP'S 2016 Campaign include the statement '...we are going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it...'. Asked and answered...

Have his tin foil hat wearing cult followers donate for the cause..

Maybe his foundation can contribute.

This man doesn’t understand government at all. God forbid he should read, make inquiries or listen to experts! He would rather watch tv and tweet about his bullshit ideas!

Typical DNC Liberals, protecting illegals over American citizens. How many kids must die? BTW, at $70k per illegal, the wall pays for itself in just under 3 months! GoldStarFamilies GruberLibs BuildTheWall

Well one thing is for sure, Congressional members are not going to give up their salary raises, bonuses, or other benefit raises.

Same SUIT, different day.

The RNC looks like a good source for his cause.

Go for it Mr President let em know we mean business

alan_gamm Wha...Wha...Wha...? I am shocked. Has he forgotten to keep his campaign PROMISE that Mexico will pay for the wall

Money is there, obozzo was always able to find money for ISIS or muslin brotherhood and for Iran. So what’s the problem

He should try Kickstarter

How about forgetting the stupid wall! Feed the homeless, shoot get rid of homelessness with that wall money!

Get the money from Mexico like you said

Every person who voted for him should pitch in and pay for it. Really is that simple.

Scared

realDonaldTrump PressSec SenDuckworth SenatorDurbin RepBobbyRush Congress should not appropriate any money to Don’s wall. Mexico pays. Don promised- if he can’t deliver, then no wall. I’m watching how my Illinois representatives handle this issue.

Why don’t we NOT and actually focus on important issues like... anything but this?

But but but but.....Mr Trump PROMISED Mexico would pay for the wall!! He promised! He promised! Wait a sec.....you mean he might have lied? There’s no way! Fake news! It’s another conspiracy! Mike Flynn said it was true! Fake news! Mr Trump wouldn’t lie! 🤮🤮🤮

Oh my is he now a flipper😂

Is this legal?

What’s he got left in the trump foundation personal account

Shut it all down, build that wall. I'm a govt employee I get back pay anyways. 🤑🤑🤑

Maybe realDonaldTrump foundation. Oh wait, it’s being closed 😂

Trump will find a way to keep us safe & he'll receive full credit without the Democrats who will lose in 2020.

realDonaldTrump Why dont you pay for the wall?

We need to secure the border, just fund it.

If they want a WALL let Trump and his supporters pay for it - they will change their tune if it comes out of their Pockets!

How about a GoFundMe account? Get the word out on Fox. I think they are in to the idea.

His biggest budget lines are social services and military. Watch out this genius doesn't try to take funds from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to pay for his wall. Most likely he will take it from his defense budget since the military asked for a lower sum of funding.

I swear to god if a go fund me page gets made then this is officially the weirdest reality

Ask 1B from 5 friends you made richer and you’re done! Ask Vlad! Sure he will help.

If POTUS wants that badly then let him pay for it.

The broken promise by realDonaldTrump Mexico not paying for the wall.

You mean the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for? Now trump will use taxpayers money that was slated for other things. Trump’s robbing Peter to pay Paul. He is stealing money for his own wants.

Do you know how HORRIBLE it will look, should the Billionaire President, shutdown the government, and leaves for his multimillion dollar waterfront property for the holidays? Of course he's backing away from his dumb idea! Not even Trump is that stupid.

See BrianKolfage,(wounded vet / vererans, really for free speech etc.). He has GoFundMe page for building TheWall. Good start.May only take care of some&Congress support needed to 'maintain' wall though.Whatever party,if believe in fairness&checks-then helpSLOWflow ofILLEGALS

pay for border wall, and then what to pay for his stupid space force!

GOP donors

Because it is obvious the safety and security of the American people does not matter.

Did he explore his ass? That’s where this dumb idea came from. he may want to go back to the well. 🍄

If he wants the wall that bad why not pay for it him self?

Don’t give in Trump. We voted for you to build the wall and protect us!

Donald the Dummy.

Nancy will never give it to you.

Maybe he can start a Go Fund Me account. I’m sure all the Trumpians would give

Too bad his foundation is being forced to divest!

Here's an Art of the Deal move. Sell your empire and privatize the border. That'll get you your funding and we don't have to go all over the world and see the Trump name. Win win win

Calm down. The wall will never be built.

Great

Wall? If i was a contractor i would move on.

Putin Paypal?

I thought Trump said the Messicans were gonna pay! Looks like it will come from the Trump Foundation, oh wait...

I remember when Twitter was fun. It is all political persuasions who is popular. Don’t make it unfun.

He should be exploring Mexico since that’s who HE said was going to pay for it🤣

DOD can find the funds. Just stop buying coffee cups for a year and they should have full funding.

Shorter: He knows he can't go on vacation and golf if he shuts the gov't down.

Winners never quit - The shutdown doesn't affect Medicaid, medicare, nor military - let those MF's NOT get paid....STANDYOURGROUND & for God's sake learn how to articulate -

Poor Trump. He’s not having a good week.

Is it the $80 from each Trumpster he heard on FoxNews 😂😂

Yeah, get Mexito pay for it! 😂😂😂😂

he need $5 Billion. Why not sell Trump Tower. then you'd only need another $4.999 Billion

'different sources'? There should only be ONE source according to the great deal maker and best negotiator in history.... that source is Mexico. What happened realDonaldTrump , did you fail, are you a FAILURE!?

WELL HE CAMPAIGNED FOR YEARS ON MEXICO PAYING FOR IT! THERE IS NO OTHER F'N SOURCE!
