A wheel. And a wall.
Trump’s Hannity interview reveals a president out of touch with realityThen Hannity tries to help him out with a specific idea — maybe through an emergency declaration he could use Defense Department money to build a wall. But Trump immediately veers off track and starts talking about wheels.
Hannity: What are the options though if you declare a national emergency, the Pentagon also has the funds available that they would be able to help support the building of the wall.
Trump: If we don’t make a deal with Congress, which we should be able to. Really just common sense and there is some compromise needed and, look, they know that the wall is working. Do you know what works? A wheel. And a wall. They call it a medieval thing. Well, you know, I’m looking at all these very expensive cars all over here loaded up with machine guns and every single one of them has wheels. A wheel is an old thing. There are two things that they work. A wall would be so effective. It would solve so many killings and so much death and drugs and human trafficking. Where they tape up women on their face. They tape them up and put them in the back of a car or a van and they drive right through our border.
I’m not totally sure what Trump is talking about here, but more to the point Trump isn’t sure what Hannity is talking about which is why he started rambling about this. And yet Trump is the key decision-maker in this crisis. Then he throws himself a pity party.
