Colbert Mocks Trump on New Budget for Fencing Border: That’s Some A+ Negotiating

RUSH EXCERPT: 

COLBERT: “But this deal gives Trump only less than $1.4 billion for just 55 miles of fences. The border is 2,000 miles, so of course, they’ll need to set aside money for signs that say, “Please attempt to cross only at fence.” It’s an honor system. You’re on your honor. And remember how Trump shut down the government after rejecting a border bill back in December? Well, that deal offered him $1.6 billion for fencing. That is some a-plus negotiating. “Okay, here we go. No, no. You write a number on a slip of paper, pass it across the table to me, okay. Then I’m gonna shut down the table for a month until everyone gets really mad and cardi B. Called me out. Then I’ll reopen the table, and you slide me an even smaller number, and I say yes. Deal art-ed.”
