What if Trump's wall is really a financial scam hidden by bigotry.

Using the the anger and meanness of voters to run a smoke screen crying for a wall while a handful of money people in Trump's circle of corruption make off with a shit pot full of public money. Corruption on all levels will be rampant on that construction project. I wouldn't be be a bit surprised to find out that a hand full of the largest contractors, fabricators, suppliers, hoodlums, etc. around and Wall St. have already sat down and decided how to divide up the pie. I'm sure Russia is guarding the doors to that conference room.

It will be worse than the Big Dig in Boston.

And perhaps some kickbacks from design and construction contractors.

Trump could probably just write himself a check and the GOP would be ok with it.

For decades through HUD, tax evasion, real estate scams and now directly from the source.
