There are much better uses of such money than a pointless wall that all evidence points to being ineffective, or nonesense like military parades and space forces.

Even when faced with some of the most egregious softball questions of all time, Trump is barely coherent — unable to describe in any detail what exactly it is that he wants, unable to cite any specific legal authority for a potential emergency declaration option, and unable to describe what such an operation would actually let him achieve......

The man whose whims plunged the nation into a massive crisis that has air traffic controllers working without pay, FBI agents worried that ongoing investigations will have to be dropped, Joshua Tree National Park irreparably damaged, and food inspections curtailed seems to have no idea why.....

But what is it he wants, exactly? Trump can’t quite say. He seems to acknowledge that he is not going to build the 2,000-mile wall he campaigned on by asserting that if the particular patch of border he is standing in front of was walled, then Border Patrol personnel could redeploy elsewhere. But how much wall are we talking about? And where? And at what cost? Trump doesn’t know......In fact, later in the interview Trump seems to acknowledge that the presence or absence of a physical barrier has very little to do with the main immigration policy argument happening in Washington....

And he’s so unselfconscious that he actually threw himself a pity party in the midst of all the problems he’s causing. There’s no apology here for the inconvenience, followed by an explanation of why he’s doing it. Because he’s not sorry. He wants us to feel sorry for him. And that, in some ways, is the most disturbing thing of all.
