When elected, he decided the taxpayers would do it. And then he didn't really do much to get THAT done when his party controlled the house and senate.

When he lost control of the house, and a talk show host and a columnist told him to shut down the government to get 1/5 of the wall money he could have gotten a year earlier had he signed a deal offered by the opposing party, his followers called it "keeping a promise."

So it isn't just politicians who are the problem. This guy got elected because he got enough people to actually believe that, once Hillary was locked up, he WOULD get Mexico to pay for the wall. And when he didn't, they then believed he could--and should--get taxpayers to pay for it.  The belief is so strong that they will accept all manner of incompetence and misbehavior on this guy's part, if he just keeps saying "the wall of concrete," " the wall of steel," "the wall work on which has already begun," " the combination of concrete and steel walls and fences," "the fences."

Yes I'm disappointed that he didn't get his money when the Repubs had complete control.

Actually disappointed that a lot more didn't get done, but that's more on the Politicians than Trump, He can request and pressure them, but they are the final voters.
