That comes out to $72 millions per mile.

I'm sure that 69 miles of wall is making a yuge difference!

Trump’s claims on construction of border wall system undercut by GAO audit

As Mr. Trump prepares to make his first post-presidency trip to the border next week, the Government Accountability Office has delivered a scorching report card on his border wall. It calculates that he completed only 69 miles of the wall system he promised Americans — not the more than 450 miles he claimed.

The GAO said the administration front-loaded construction of fence panels to meet Mr. Trump’s deadline, and that meant shortchanging the roads, lights and other technology for the highly touted “wall system.”

Trump's claim for the amount of wall built during his occupation of the White House, comes about as close to the truth as anything else he's said.

Just the usual thread fail...

From the article "Although 458 miles of new fence panels were erected before Mr. Trump left office, just 69 miles had all of the components that the Border Patrol had planned."

I don't think people care if all the sections aren't lit up so the criminals don't bump into them and injure themselves.

If it was up to Trump, his entire plan for the wall would’ve been completed years ago. He was blocked by everyone, Republicans, Democrats, judicially, etc. So how is it Trump’s fault that the wall didn’t get built?

It’s just like now. Biden has a bunch of things he wants to get done, and he’s being blocked on all sides.

Democrats: It’s Trump’s fault the wall didn’t get built

Also Democrats: It’s not Biden’s fault that DC and PR don’t have statehood, the Supreme Court hasn’t been packed yet, the filibuster hasn’t been killed yet, etc.

Well lets do the Math- ALL his co-horts pillaged the funds for their own gains. So yes, when the ominipotent ( gratuitous sarcasm) leader has his buddies involved in this wall venture. More was built in their bank accounts then extended to the Wall implementation itself.

I don't hold either political party accountable for Trumps mishandling of the wall. He over promised ( hey Mexico will pay for it!) and severely under delivered. The buck stops with him, and often lands in his pockets too.

The Contractors were inept and used materials that did not withstand the environment.

Who are you people?????

the wall Trump didn;t build significantly reduced the illegal mass migration that biden said did not even reach the level of crisis under biden's watch.

Mayorkas said the border is closed. apparently not

The whitehouse called the humanitarian crisis they created a 'challenge'. children stacked in cages as never before and historic numbers of illegal entry along with drugs, thousands of times over enough to kill everyone inthe country.

biden stacked kids in cages far beyond the pictures shown from the obama administration and attributed to Trump by the media and democrat.

Nothing but lies and more lies from the democrats, biden and screen saver harris, all the while people form all over the world sneak into the US. A problem the 911 commission determined was our Achilles heel.

Time you dropped the lies and misleading information, delusional interpretations and open your eyes to the fact that the harris biden admin is destroying people;s lives on both side of the border and financing the drug cartels.

Ask why biden is working in concert with the drug cartels

So obama calls ISIS the jv team and Trump said mexico will pay for the wall.
Which do you consider the most grievous lie. Which lie was protected by the media, which lie caused the most deaths and which lie gave cover and comfort to the enemy?

Remember when biden said no tax increase on families making more than 400k?
Reality is the increase in gas tax, the increase in the cost of goods and transportation, the death tax, rescinding of trump's tax break.... all are other ways biden has raised the tax on the people he said would not see their taxes raised. So it is with Trump's promise to make mexico pay. Mexico had been paying in different ways to protect our borders. What did it cost mexico to employ its army, house migrants etc. ?

Use creative accounting to lie to the people vs imprecise language. Lawyer speak/intentional wordsmithing vs the guy on the street language, which person is more guilty of deceit, the professional lawyer who uses words to fool people or the guy whose word choice was wanting?

Wake up, the screen saver harris/biden/socialist committee is destroying the country while you cling to your hate and fear mongering. blinded by your hate of trump translates to active hate of our country.
