Rick Wilson about the wall and Trump supporters:
"The wall has always been a con for Donald Trump’s credulous rube ten-toothed base. The wall has always been a scam. It has always been a lie. Nothing about the wall has ever been real."

Ed Burke charged with attempted extortion
A Chicago-based attorney and alderman has been charged with attempted extortion for allegedly trying to use his City Council position to boost his private law firm.
Ed Burke, who previously did property tax work for President Trump, was charged Wednesday for allegedly using his government position to solicit business to his law firm.
Burke tried to persuade a restaurant seeking building permits in 2017 to retain his law firm in exchange for the permits, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. After the restaurant did not hire Burke’s law firm, the alderman worked with another government employee to play “hard ball” with the company by stalling its permits in an effort to force it to hire Burke’s firm, prosecutors allege.
When Burke received assurance that the company would hire his firm for tax work, he changed his opposition to the permits, the court documents say. Burke also allegedly requested a campaign contribution from someone who worked for the company. Prosecutors said that person felt obligated to donate to Burke’s campaign in order to avoid any interference with the restaurant.
Burke, a Democrat, faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.

'Morning Joe' mocks 'jerk' Trump for his 'three bald guys' presser
MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday mocked President Trump for holding a press conference about the border wall with "three bald guys," and said it showed Trump is only interested in "making America white again."
Host Mika Brzezinski opened the show by saying the image of Trump with three bald representatives of border patrol officers "speaks volumes."
"It is quite a picture," host Joe Scarborough added. "The diversity in that Donald Trump press conference."
Scarborough then asked "legendary branding, advertising guy" Donny Deutsch to weigh in.
"You have four white men, you have four stoic, strong white men of a certain age, not smiling by the way," Deutsch said.
"This is all Donald has left," he said. "This wall is not a wall, it is a let's keep America white again."
Deutsch also called Trump a "jerk."
