President Trump tweeted Wednesday touting what he characterized as "the start" of his long proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen shared Trump's tweet, clarifying, "This is just one of the wall projects @DHSgov will be constructing in the next year. This 30ft wall will help secure the area near Calexico, CA."

Officials have said the project that Trump tweeted about is not considered part of his proposed border wall and instead is part of a construction project for a 2-mile border wall in Calexico, Calif., that had already been prioritized since 2009.
We just wanted to get out in front of it and let everybody know that this is a local tactical infrastructure project that was planned for quite some time, David Kim, assistant chief patrol agent for the Border Patrols El Centro sector, told the Desert Sun last month.

Trump's cult demands results, so Trump has to lie. Again. Still. Yet. Come to think of it, I don't think there's a time when Trump has ever told the truth!
