Trump's precious border wall hits a funding snag

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" wall might turn out to be like so many other things he fixates on—a figment of his imagination. Although the White House had wanted Congress to fold an initial outlay for Trump’s wall into a government funding bill, the GOP's governance meltdown has necessitated Democratic help in keeping the government funded by the April 28 deadline. Democrats, in turn, have threatened to withhold their votes if any funding for the wall is included in that bill.
