Trump Explodes Over News Report He 'Has Not Built a Single Mile of New Border Fence' - But Admits It

[TexasTowelie]

On Saturday a DC-based conservative news outlet published a little-noticed report that states quite clearly, "Trump has not built a single mile of new border fence after 30 months in office."

But apparently it did get noticed by the White House.

Monday night President Trump appears to have read it, and delivered an explosive and defiant tweet. But in doing so he delivered a massive self-inflicted blow, admitting the report is true, to his 62 million followers on Twitter.

The report is fact-based and devastating to the president's mirage of miles and miles of new border wall having been built.

7. Sen. Chris Murphy from CT

wanted to know that as well - why has 90% of the money allocated for border security not been spent?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. Get thee to the greatest page

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What a moran!

4. Gee Willikers! I thought it was almost done...and, paid for by the Mexican govt.

From Trump's reports, you'd think they were flying down the border with ugly fencing.

With Mexico deploying 22,000 troops to the border, I guess I figured they had agreed to pay for the wall, as well.

Must be fake news...or out of the POTUS' mouth. Hard to tell, these days.

5. I'll keep saying

That the intent was never to build the wall. They want the talking point and the fight. The money for plans and construction give them money to grift.

And if years from now the wall is finally built we’ll need to rebuild and improve it forever for the same reasons.

18. That the reason the Tea Party killed immigration reform in 2013.

They could give a shit about immigration. But without the issue they got nothing.
