When has "make love, not war" EVER been in existence?
As markets slid further in light of the news, the likelihood that the U.S. government might shut down over a border wall spat looked even more mind-boggling—especially since building the wall wasn’t Trump’s idea. In fact, he was disinterested when it was first suggested to him. As I recount in my book on the 2016 campaign, Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency, the idea for the wall was devised by frustrated Trump aides, primarily Sam Nunberg, annoyed that their candidate wouldn’t stay focused on the issue of immigration:
Inside Trump’s circle, the power of illegal immigration to manipulate popular sentiment was readily apparent, and his advisers brainstormed methods for keeping their attention-addled boss on message. They needed a trick, a mnemonic device. In the summer of 2014, they found one that clicked. “Roger Stone and I came up with the idea of ‘the Wall,’ and we talked to Steve [Bannon] about it,” said Nunberg. “It was to make sure he talked about immigration.”
Initially, Trump seemed indifferent to the idea. But in January 2015, he tried it out at the Iowa Freedom Summit, a presidential cattle call put on by David Bossie’s group, Citizens United. “One of his pledges was, ‘I will build a Wall,’ and the place just went nuts,” said Nunberg. Warming to the concept, Trump waited a beat and then added a flourish that brought down the house. “Nobody,” he said, “builds like Trump.”
The Wall quickly became Trump’s signature campaign promise—his “Free Bird,” something fans called for at stadium rallies
