According to Got News former Goldman Sachs boss and lifelong Democrat Whte House Economic Adviser Gary Cohn killed plans to crowdfund the border wall.

"White House Chief Economic Adviser Gary Cohn—a liberal, registered Democrat, and former Goldman Sachs executive—killed a proposal that included crowdfunding the Mexico border wall with wall bonds, GotNews can exclusively confirm through multiple sources.

[...]

In March, Alaska Republican Congressman Don Young proposed that the government could sell bonds to finance the wall, and offer public financiers 2.5% interest.

According to public records from the New York state Board of Elections, Cohn’s registration as a Democrat is still active Tuesday.

Cohn left his role as Goldman Sachs chief operating officer in January to join the Trump administration. Goldman is coming come under fire for its purchase last week of $2.8 billion in bonds propping up the regime of Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro."

End excerpts.

So a liberal registered Democrat from "Government Sachs", an infamous swamp dwelling corporation, has taken steps to kill the border wall. Any surprise? What I couldn't figure out at the time was why Trump appointed such a penultimate insider and Democrat in the first place.
