Build The Fking Thing
I'm ready to give him his damn wall. For one thing, it'd be entertaining to see how his diehards react to the cost overruns and delays, the government takeovers of their border property, the fact that it won't be a "big, beautiful" impenetrable wall. The gaps. The failures to control drugs coming in. And, of course, the realization that their taxes will be paying for it, not Mexico.
Even considering the wasted money, if that's what it takes to get continuation of DACA, funding of community health centers, and -- a person can hope -- a return to sanity regarding alternative energy, among so many other things, it'd be worth it.
