Is Trump going to build the wall on the border?

Trump's Wall will not happen. Even were initial funding approved and the wall started it will not be completed during his tenure. And the next occupant of the Oval Office will drop it during his first 100 days in office.

The only reason it enjoys any Congressional support is due to certain Congressional Republicans supporting Trump, “right or wrong.” As soon as he's out of office, the only support it will have will be oppositional to a Democratic President. That's not enough to continue to fund a $72 billion boondoggle.

No. He is going to fall short of the border and put a minefield on the other side.

Then somebody will point out that he has no clothes.

The world goes wibble-wobble-wibble and we all wake up.

Yes he is. Wall means wall, fence, etc. Any acceptable barrier and monitoring system.

I would say probably.

No he will hire workers to do the job

Unknown at present. It depends on how the shutdown ends. It appears to be a deadlock right now.

he's trying

Yes, he has already built some miles of it.

Either he's going to build it and Mexico is going to pay for it or his name is MUD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfxBs5y5eIo - 2 1/2 minutes).

Right now the smart money is on mud.

No he is not but will have it built, or at least I hope so.
