No, you don't get the whole idea: you see, first Trump is going to have the wall built using US taxpayer money that he will divert from other expenditures, if he can get Congress to agree to such a massive diversion of funds, at the risk of their own political futures, and, after the wall is built, at taxpayer expense and the loss of other government services , which we the taxpayers will more than willingly and wholeheartedly support since, after all, it is a Trump idea, then by some means which Trump hasn't really thought of (or given much thought to, at all), the Mexican government will be cowed by the size of the Mighty Orange One's majestic tiny shaking fists and humbly open their coffers to repay our nation and everything will be peachy keen...

So goes the fairy tale and the possibility of a happily ever after is very, very slim...

At least at the postmortem of this sorry affair we here in the US can paraphrase your Bard: "For Trump is an honorable man..."...
