The article said Trump refurbed it. If something needs a little extra length, or height, Trump the man.

But more the point, Bush got $50 billion for the wall just before (not a crisis of course) he left office. What happened to that money?

It was only refurbed because it was previously scheduled to be refurbed using the funding provided by the Obama admin. Trump is constantly trying to take credit for things that were already happening before he got elected. Like companies opening more plants and hiring more people. He does this crap all the time. The question is, who is stupid enough to fall for the con?

Did you read the fine print on the sign in the pic above?

(We’ll probably need to replace that sign already, seeing as at least one of those people no longer is employed by the Admimistration ... )

"immoral wall defended because its Obama's " - nice.


Washington (CNN) — The Defense Department announced Tuesday that it had awarded $976 million in contracts to build President Donald Trump's much-sought-after border wall with a completion date for these projects of October 2020.
A $789 million contract was awarded to the Texas-based company SLSCO Ltd. for the construction of border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico which is located in the El Paso sector of the border.
A second $187 million contract was awarded to the Montana-based Barnard Construction Company for work in Yuma, Arizona.
The contracts were awarded by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
