Hey wait a damn minute. This can't be true. Trump said he was going to build a big beautiful wall and Mexica was paying for it. Are these guys calling him a liar? They said: President Donald Trump took a victory lap for securing three new miles of steel fence that was paid for by raiding the military budget.
“This is the most powerful and comprehensive border wall structure anywhere in the world,” Trump said Tuesday during a visit to the Mexican border at Yuma, Arizona, where he said 212 miles have been built and that close to 500 would be finished by the end of the year. “Our border has never been more secure.”
In fact, only three of those 212 miles are along parts of the border that previously had no barrier. The rest have replaced existing fencing, a process that began under President George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama.

Since most of the barrier they are talking about was a barbed wire fence.... yes it is more secure. Imagine how much could have been done if he had not had to fight with congress for the last 3 and 1/2 years. Considering the circumstances, pretty impressive.

SSG (Join to see) kinda reminds me of another politician saying “if you like your healthcare you can keep it”. Some things age better than others.

SGT Lou Meza - Ahh, I see what your doing. We both know that congress controls the purse strings. Mexico did not pay for the wall, but he did renegotiate NAFTA and we are getting additional funds. I look at this as a political promise, kind of like "there is no spying on Americans" or "90 percent of the guns in Mexico came from the US" or "There are neighborhoods where it is easier to buy a gun than fresh vegetables" or my favorite "We’re probably the first administration in modern history that hasn’t had a major scandal in the White House.” As far as political promises Trump has at least made an honest effort to fulfill them. I don't suppose you have bothered to look into Biden's records and the whoppers he has told for the last 40+ years in office?
Give me a better choice than Trump in this election and I'll vote for him. The problem is it is one or the other and the other has proven himself to be worthless with a 40 year track record.

It's not the most powerful border wall in the world. China has claim for that one.
