. . . it's taught at Trump University.

Remember -- Trump's uncle was a math professor at MIT. Trump knows math.

"I did very poorly in school until I started doing narcotics. Then I went to the top of my class because my mind was so restless and turbulent... I could sit still, I could read, and I could concentrate." rfk

He starts out building his wall without authorization, without oversight or planning.

He and his minions start collecting funds from private sources, though that money "disappears" and no one can account for it.

Then he starts juggling money around, taking money designated by Congress for other programs and diverting those funds to his wall.

Finally, he gets a compliant Congress to authorize billions of spending to build a symbolic "wall" (actually, more of a fence) that is nothing like the wall he promised.

Billions in missing money, taxpayers on the hook for billions more, a half-assed wall that is easily breached, and the Donald gets his way once again.

Mission Accomplished!
