Trump could have ended it at any time by using 10 USC 284 to build the border barrier.
If we know about it, I'm sure he knows about.
IMO, this has all been part of the plan.
The Art of War is divided into 13 chapters (or piān); the collection is referred to as being one zhuàn ("whole" or alternatively "chronicle").
1 - Detail assessment and planning (Chinese: 始計) explores the five fundamental factors (the Way, seasons, terrain, leadership, and management) and seven elements that determine the outcomes of military engagements.
By thinking, assessing and comparing these points, a commander can calculate his chances of victory.
Habitual deviation from these calculations will ensure failure via improper action.
The text stresses that war is a very grave matter for the state and must not be commenced without due consideration.

All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must appear inactive;
when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

As someone with conservative socio-political values my hope is to see the American President succeed in draining the swamp.
To be clear, I do not propose the subversion of your country, America. I love peace, order and security as much as the next person who loves democracy.
I solemnly promise to you that I will never protect a murderer.
Prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice!

10 USC 284 - This is the most important US Code you will hear about in the near future. This law gives the President the authority to authorize the US Military to build a barrier along our southern border without the need for a declaration of emergency, and without the authorization of congress - or anyone else for that matter.
Do you think the next dem potus having this amount of power is a good thing?

JohnnyJetson, I wonder if your referenced quote ""be like water, All yielding, yet ALL powerful", from Sun Tzu, is the reasoning behind Q Posts references to "Watch the water"?
