President Donald Trump just reached expert level on trolling former President Barack Obama.
On Sunday, the president took to Twitter to point out that Obama and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, have built a wall around their mansion in Washington, D.C.
The wall is to protect the former first family and their home, and Trump said it is exactly what America needs.
“President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!” he wrote.

In 2017, the Obamas bought the 8,200-square-foot mansion in the nation’s capitol for roughly $8 million.
The home is fully protected by a brick and metal wall as well as a large gate.
A wall is good enough for Obama's new digs, but not America?

The federal government has been partially shutdown for just over a week, and Trump and Democrats are locked over the issue of border security.
House Republicans voted 217-185 to approve a measure that would keep the government open and allocate $5.7 billion for border wall funding.
The bill is now waiting a full vote in the Senate, where lawmakers are hashing it out over funding for border security.
The president originally wanted $5 billion for border wall funding and Democrats only offered $1.6 billion, which they claimed was a “very generous” offer.
Trump didn’t leave Washington, D.C, for Christmas and has been working to reopen the government, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is on vacation.
Pelosi was spotted on Thursday vacationing at a five-star resort in Hawaii.
While Trump is in D.C., he has taken to Twitter numerous times to call out Democrats for refusing to even negotiate a deal on wall funding.
An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media. Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!

I campaigned on Border Security, which you cannot have without a strong and powerful Wall. Our Southern Border has long been an “Open Wound,” where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country. Dems should get back here an fix now!

While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have vowed to oppose funding for a border wall, top conservatives are urging Trump to hold firm until he gets the wall.
Here’s what conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh had to say:
“These people that we’re talking about put walls around their homes and their estates. They know that walls work, and that’s precisely why there isn’t going to be one on the southern border, because if there ever is a wall, guess what? We finally will have control over who gets into this country and who doesn’t,” he added.
“The wall is the single greatest obstruction to the future of the Democrat Party. They do not want a wall. They will not support a wall. A wall would bring about the end of the Democrat Party. They’ll argue about money, government shutdowns. But they can’t survive as a party if that wall is ever built. That’s their permanent underclass that would not be permitted to enter the country,” Limbaugh added.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, wants Trump to keep the federal government partially closed until “until hell freezes over” in order to get funding for the border wall.
“And because we keep seeing people losing their lives without [a wall], you do it to hell freezes over,” Gohmert said when asked how long Trump should continue the partial shutdown.
“Until hell freezes over because we owe it to our country. And the best thing we could do compassionately for Mexico and Central America is not give them money that ends up in the hands of the drug cartels,” he said.
“It’s to secure the border, so the drugs quit coming, and we don’t lose 70,000 more lives a year and Mexico becomes a top 10 economy because we dropped corruption. That’s compassion,” he added.
