Dear Leader, Please Stop Lying

So I got this email from Trump (bear with me) because I am a registered republican. (Yeah, well, things were somewhat different in 1988 when I registered to vote and also my local elections are so Republican that registered Democrats do not ever get to do anything useful. You gotta vote in the Republican primary in order to have a voice 'round here.)
It's urging me to sign a petition to "build the wall" (I am not, for the record, in favor of building the fucking wall) so that said petition can be delivered to all the Democrats. No, seriously. Here's the fucking email, in bold. Commentary in non-bolded italics.
(My First Name), for the past two weeks we’ve seen just how low the Democrats will sink in order to obstruct our agenda and everything we’ve accomplished since 2016.
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer shut down YOUR government by choosing illegal immigrants over hard-working American patriots like YOU. NO MORE!
I refer you to the following clip, in which Dear Leader publicly states FOR THE RECORD that this is HIS shutdown and HE is going to take full credit for it. To wit: https://youtu.be/J5as4eQCFi8?t=75.
The only reason Democrats shut down the government is because they know they can’t win in 2020. They don’t care about your safety, they only care about Presidential Harassment!
Democrats did not "shut down the government", Dear Leader did.
We showed them in 2016, now let’s show them again that the silent majority is back and will NEVER be forgotten again.
You are not a 'silent majority' and you would not have won the presidency except for the ratfucking (see here or here) of the voting districts following the 2010 census. You are in fact the opposite of a majority. Like, Not The Majority. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT THINK LIKE YOU.
We’re going to remind each and every Democrat that the American people voted for border security, the rule of law and to BUILD THE WALL!
The American People voted for a lot of things but, you incoherent narcissist, MORE ACTUAL AMERICAN PEOPLE voted for Hillary Clinton than voted for your sorry ass. Yes, wonderful electoral victory whatever. Keep telling yourself that, it's funny every time. In point of fact, more people, more AMERICAN PEOPLE, wanted the profiteering cunt in the pants suit (y'know, the one with Actual Government Experience and the ability to express herself coherently) than wanted you. You are not a president with a mandate.

There's more of the email but honestly it's more of the same shit and I can't stomach it futher. But I have a few questions of my own to get through.
Wasn't Mexico supposed to pay for the wall? I don't understand why you need funding from the House if Mexico is supposed to pay for the wall. How is the $$ From Mexico effort coming, anyway?
...
Okay, moving on... Didn't you have both houses of congress for the first two years of your term?
Yes. Yes, you did.
So, why didn't you build the wall then? Why did you wait until now to try stumping for the wall thing. Okay, yeah, first was the major effort to deny healthcare to our own citizens. I can see how that took priority over BORDER SECURITY. Totally reasonable.
Just... since you had majorities in both the House and the Senate, you couldn't very well blame Chuck and Nancy for your inability to convince Republicans to fund your wall.
