Trump wants see-through border wall so agents don't get hit by 60-pound 'sacks of drugs'


by Ryan Lovelace | Jul 13, 2017, 3:52 PM


President Trump said he wants his proposed border wall with Mexico to be see-through so that border agents don't get hit with "large sacks of drugs" being thrown over the wall.

"You have to be able to see through it," Trump said of the wall he's promised to build. "In other words, if you can't see through that wall—so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall.

"And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs."

He also insisted to media on Air Force One that he isn't kidding about putting solar panels on the wall.

and what he reads in his daily (truncated) presidential briefing?

And remember that story how some White House staffers with their own agenda innocently slip in something from InfoWars or Breitbart in his papers?
