Very well said. The bullet train was a nice pipe dream. Trying to build a bullet train line is infinitely harder than building a wall (everyone knows this) because the length of the wall (which is undetermined), which also includes taking away people's land (but much more of it than a bullet train platform) and calling it an emergency; this will be held up in the courts forever, or until Trump is out of office and everyone gives up because it's a joke. The veterans who sit on street corners asking for $ will love the border wall idea and will not have any reason to be angry that a national emergency wasn't called to support veterans who need better care. Also, if we build a wall, there will be no more school shootings, according to some republican congressman. Thanks to Trump, calling for national emergencies will be the new political game. Get in office, don't negotiate, call an emergency. I really hope this doesn't happen...
