Promised made, promises NOT kept.....the really amazing thing is that Trump cultists will argue against facts.

https://www.politifact.com/californi...dent-trump-ha/

Besides all the lies about concrete, mexico paying, sea to shining sea, hundreds of miles and the like.....if we really wanted to stretch things, there are eight miles of uncompleted "wall" which are new.

In other words...nothing.

At this rate if Trump serves two terms we may see 25 miles of new wall. My guess is that, if Trump had never been POTUS, we'd have a lot more just in the normal swing of things.

Everything the guy touches or talks about seems to fall to pieces.

You're bragging that Democrats are obstructing securing the border?

That's rich.

They brag every time there is bad economic data or news. They gloat about it when large corporations lay lots of people off. It's obvious that democrats are rooting against America, and Americans.

I know..…...its sad really.

I've lived through lots of Presidents I didn't agree with on policy, but I was never rooting for them or America to fail.

The key word being "new". He's tearing down old useless fence and replacing it with a more effective wall. It makes sense to start there because that land has already been appropriated. And that's why the propaganda networks say "new wall". It's a word game to fool the shallow-thinkers.

Effective wall? Then why did I see news reports it's been overcome?

Way past the point of the Dems wanting to pitch-in and control illegal-immigration. So, it is a big laughline for Dems, when Trump does his best to do something about illegal-immigration and falls short.

what you saw was multiple references to a WaPo article that claimed it was occurring, but couldn't be bothered to show any photo or video of same.
