TRUMP: OBAMA HAS A WALL AROUND HIS HOUSE

Obama has a wall! Trump uses ex-president's DC home to argue for HIS border barrier, as three senior advisers cast doubt on his campaign promise being fulfilled and the shutdown rumbles on

• President Trump argued former President Obama and Michelle Obama have a wall around their Washington D.C. home so the U.S. should have the same 
• 'President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound,' he tweeted
• He noted: 'The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!'
• The Obama home had a wall built around it before they moved in as part of security upgrades put in by the Secret Service
• Meanwhile, three senior officials hinted on Sunday that Trump won't be able to fulfill his campaign promise of building a concrete wall along the border with Mexico
• John Kelly, Trump's outgoing Chief of Staff, said that the White House gave up on building a concrete border wall 'early on' in the administration but said some 'fencing' was necessary 
• Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Trump is open to a compromise with Democrats that includes $5 billion for border security in exchange for legislative changes to DACA
• Graham also said that 'the wall has become a metaphor for border security' and that 'what we're talking about is a physical barrier where it makes sense'
• Kellyanne Conway, a Counselor to the President, said that the argument over what constitutes a 'wall' is 'semantics'
