Notice how the Trumpers here stopped trying to spin that story altogether. American taxpayers are paying for that wall.

Another Trump lie and failed campaign promise.
I'd rather spend it on a fence that on welfare for illegals. Full stop.

Nothing funnier than watching Trump supporters who literally wanted a "big beautiful wall" that Trump sold them, only to spin and pretend to be happy about a 6 mile FENCE.

Trump imagined a 30 foot concrete wall along most of the entire border, something that could keep Godzilla out.

But in reality, Trump is getting a six-mile fence. Haha.

"Six miles. LOL."

At the pace we're going, this border won't be finished before the Orange Buffoon keels over....

And when are we sending a bill to Mexico again?

Just stop with this constant harping about Mexico paying for the wall it's getting old! I have already provided a link how Mexico will eventually pay for the wall but it won't be by writing a check for it. Besides, as a taxpayer would you rather fund $25 billion for the wall or continue to pay $100 billion a year for the costs of illegal aliens? Did you fail at math in school?


There is no plan for a wall along the entire border! I have repeated this over and over. Trump just wants the 700 miles on the most porous areas of our border built and already approved by congress in 2006. That's all that is needed. The rest of the border's terrain is very difficult and dangerous to try to enter illegally. So fewer will and try and fewer will succeed. The Border Patrol can focus their efforts there.


Those property owners that don't want a wall on their land can just deal with the illegals, criminals, drug cartels invading their land all by themselves then. Bet they'd be crying for a wall in no time. And for the one who keeps saying that most drugs are coming by boat don't know what they are talking about. Some may but much of it is getting here by land via our southern border. We guard our ports and inspect the products coming through it.


Orange buffoon? Why don't you and yours grow up?
