OMG. It's not an act. Those in the media really are that dumb.
So dumb that they'd report that Trump wants to blow half a billion dollars into the wind? Is there any particular reason it should be censored? Actually it seems like it will cost $3 billion + maintenance, since it needs to be re-done every now and then.
According to government contracting estimates obtained by The Washington Post, the cost of painting the entire border wall black would add a minimum of $500 million in costs for acrylic paint, but could top $3 billion if a premium 'powder coating' is used.
'POTUS has changed his mind and now wants the fence painted. We are modifying contracts to add,' one official involved in the construction effort told the Post.
What border wall? Oh, the one thats being built. Guy plays the media again.
Nope. Tone-deaf, narcissistic Trump bludgeons and betrays the citizens of America, yet again.
Know-nothing, reality television actor still focusing on that yet to be built border wall, being paid for by Mexico. Pandemic be dammed! PPE be dammed! Donald demands his paint!
During a border wall meeting at the White House last month amid the coronavirus pandemic, the president told senior adviser Jared Kushner and aides to move forward with the paint job and to seek out cost estimates, for paint. ( note, not cost estimates for PPE or ventilators, which Jared and Trump constantly complained and whined was too much effort for the federal government. "We aren't the nation's supply clerk". But of course we are her decorators, but America, beware we use sham and tinsel. )
Quote:
The president’s determination to have the steel bollards coated in black has fluctuated during the past several years, and military commanders and border officials believed as recently as last fall that they had finally talked him out of it. They consider the black paint unnecessary, costly and a significant long-term maintenance burden, and they left it out of the original U.S. Customs and Border Protection design specifications.
22 million Americans have lost their jobs, so far.
71,898 Americans have lost their lives, so far.
1,212,000 Americans have been infected, so far.
And the Donald demands his unnecessary, costly paint, which will be an ongoing maintenance problem. In the middle of March with the virus zooming in on the United States.
"Let the people eat paint".
During the meeting Kushner complained that the current firms, contracted to assist with land acquisition were not moving quickly enough, and he urged military commanders and border officials to work with larger firms capable of performing a broader array of services, such as survey, title work, appraisals, condemnation packages and get Donald his paint. All this while a deadly virus was sweeping the nation and astute employers and contractors and businesses were focusing on the safety of their employees, their families and our fellow Americans and the looming public health and national security crisis.
Doctors and nurses becoming infected without PPE and patients without ventilators, but good grief we must procure the superfluous paint color and get that wall going! Election Day is nearing and I need that ineffective wall as a prop!
This administration is not only tone deaf, they are dumb. And as far as their vision, they are blinded by their self-centered political survival. Period. America and Americans be damned!

Keep the wall great again !!! Hard to believe people would be against that !!! Maybe its just the ones that wouldn't pain their own house !!!
President Trump is once more pushing to have his border wall painted black, a design change that is projected to add at least $500 million in costs, according to government contracting estimates obtained by The Washington Post.
I heard Trump tied one of his shoes right over left. Let's see a rage thread over that. Come on, you must have something petty about Trump to whinge about.
