Trump: Reagan 'Tried for 8 Years to Build a Border Wall'

President Donald Trump invoked Ronald Reagan’s name as he vowed to get funding for a wall on the southern border “one way or the other.”

His comments came in a Friday morning Twitter posting – part of a presidential tweetstorm that focused on border security and a possible government shutdown.

Trump wrote: “Even President Ronald Reagan tried for 8 years to build a Border Wall, or Fence, and was unable to do so. Others also have tried. We will get it done, one way or the other!”
