Letter: Let Trump pay for wall

President Donald Trump wants to build a border wall so badly that he is threatening to shut down the government if he doesn’t get his way.

Now, let’s be real. Mexico is not going to pay for it. Most of the American people do not want their tax money to pay for it. After all, that money could be used to help the people suffering from Harvey and to upgrade our infrastructure nationwide. So, here is an idea.

Trump, being a multibillionaire, could pay for it himself. And, being such an astute businessman, could probably figure a way to get a write-off on the cost. Then he could even name the wall after himself, as he has done with many of his existing properties. It could be called “Trump’s Muro.” Border wall problem solved!
