President Donald Trump rallied bipartisan support for his border wall project with a tweet Friday morning.

The president was back to business after the Thanksgiving holiday, calling the Southern border wall part of a “major border security package.”

“Republicans and Democrats MUST come together, finally, with a major Border Security package, which will include funding for the Wall,” Trump wrote from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“After 40 years of talk, it is finally time for action. Fix the Border, for once and for all, NOW!”
