President Donald Trump said Sunday that he would be willing to accept a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that is made out of steel rather than concrete.
[Democrats] dont like concrete, so well give them steel. Steel is fine. Steel is actually more expensive than concrete, but it will look beautiful and its actually strong. Its actually stronger, Trump said at Camp David.
The presidents statement came as the partial government shutdown dragged into its third week over his demand for more than $5 billion to build a border wall he repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for. Democrats have opposed funding a wall they have called immoral and impractical ― but the walls material has not been their sticking point.

Someone on tv asked this morning where would all that steel come from? China? What about the tariffs?

He actually said that. I'm betting the President of U.S. Steel is the patsy Don is going to blame his failure on.
