Trump's a master wall builder; watch him stonewall
Donald Trump already has his wall but it’s not concrete or steel slats or anything else. It’s made of stone.
This stonewall doesn’t run along our southern border from sea to shining sea, but encircles his White House, runs up and down Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues, around Foggy Bottom and all Der Furor’s other outposts. And Mexico isn’t paying for it, we are, every day, in a commodity more precious than gold: truth.
It’s a fact Trump’s stonewall works — keeping Congress, the media, and Americans, not migrants, out; and truth, facts and open government locked up.
Yes, gentle reader, when it comes to stonewalling, this administration has no equivalent in American history.
(There is a small crack in his wall. More about that later.)
Let’s first examine some examples of Trump’s stonewalling as my strict, but kindly editor, won’t give me the 5,000 or 6,000 words needed to detail all Trump’s stonewalls.
To begin, Sarah Sanders, Trump’s press secretary, is the keystone in the White House’s stonewall; and she’s elevated bricklaying to a high art. Her main tool: canceling press conferences, press briefings and even gaggles (on Trump’s say so). The easiest way not to answer questions from the free press: don’t take them. So she doesn’t.
Government agencies such as the EPA or Health and Human Services or Homeland Security also stonewall: Congressional committees, legislators, public interest groups and the press. The tactic works for Sarah and it works for them.
