TRUMP: ‘Over 400 Miles of Wall’ Will Be Completed By End of 2020
President Donald Trump revealed this morning that his administration will have built more than 400 miles of border wall along the southern border by the end of 2020, and said that the entire wall will be finished soon after.
While being interviewed by phone on Fox News’ morning show “Fox & Friends”, President Trump revealed that his administration will have completed more than 400 miles of border wall by the end of 2020, despite tremendous opposition from Democrats and obstructionists.
“So the wall is going up, it’s going up rapidly, we’re going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year,” said President Trump. “Tbe wall is very important. It’s hard to breach it, it’s high, it’s strong, it’s powerful, and it’s going up at a much lower cost than the wall that was planned prior to me getting there.”
President Trump also remarked on the state of the previous border barrier the Obama and Bush administrations were building prior to his election.

“You have to see what they built, it’s a disgrace,” said the president. “We’re actually fixing it and in some cases we have to take down fairly new wall because it was so bad.”
He continued, “We’re going to have over 400 miles of wall built, and that’s going to be in the most important areas, and we’re going to have all of it built before you know.”
The president then noted that all of this progress has been despite constant legal threats and political obstruction from Democrats.
“This is despite tremendous obstacles that have been put in front of us by the Democrats, you have no idea,” he went on, “We just won the lawsuit on the wall, we won a big lawsuit on the wall, brought by Nancy Pelosi.”
President Trump continued, lambasting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “And maybe that’s criminal, that she’s allowing drug dealers and gang members into our country, maybe that’s criminal when you talk about it, because what’s happening on the border, we’re getting it straightened out.”
The president then lamented that Democrats have refused to work with the Trump administration on any form of border security, telling the interviewers that Congress could “solve the asylum problem and the loopholes in 15 minutes.”

I would have to agree that it is not physically impossible that some wall could be put up in the next year and a half.
But anyone who takes Donald Trump's word for it has something seriously wrong with them. His word on many many things is not much more than worthless.
Trump has been lying about the wall and the progress of the wall, and who's going to pay for it, since he took office.
Some of it will be replacement of crappy wall or simple vehicle barriers with real wall 18+ ft tall with cement 7’ into the ground. Some will be privately built on private land. Everything that gets done is an upgrade or outright expansion and improves the situation.
There is a huge difference between a President wanting to do something and being able to do it. JFK wanted to enact Civil Rights legislation, yet members of his own party in congress effectively prevented him from doing it. The same goes for Trump, as democrats are firmly entrenched in obstructing this President on everything, but especially on the wall. It is truly amazing to see elected members of congress stand by while the crisis on the southern border metastasizes!
Make no mistake, Trump's supporters know he tried everything to keep that promise and we will turn out to reward him on election day!
...
Lol wait, isn't he some sort of master negotiator? Why the fuck isn't Mexico paying and the wall going up? What happened to that whole thing?
So you're saying that he tried everything to make Mexico pay for the wall? Care to list the things he did for that?
Trump has lied about pretty much everything his whole life. That's why his folks shipped him off to military school.
Trump says 400 miles of wall are coming soon. But most projects ...
Well out of 375 million citizens more or less, 2,669 is not a lot of chit chat.
Whatever makes you sleep better at night.
It's more like a whisper in a hurricane.

And, as everyone knows...Mexico is going to pay for it!
(How do I know this? Why is because trump said so. And would he lie? Of course not!)
Trump and the Mexican government worked well together on making progress against illegal aliens in Mexico. If Mexico really can keep them away from our border there won’t be a need for them to pay for a wall on our border but on theirs with Central America instead.
Are you talking about when shit for brains threatened tariffs and extracted concessions from Mexico that they had already made?
They can't.
No one is building a wall because that idea is retarded.
Yeah, not gonna happen. My dad is involved with this whole process and he has told me it is just a waste of time. For every contract he approves a suit is filed immediately and everything is put on ice.
And yet the work proceeds forward one step at a time.

America is Trumpland. Four more years!
