No need for full border wall, Trump says

"You don't need 2,000 miles of wall because you have a lot of natural barriers," Trump said to reporters on Air Force One during his flight to Paris.

"You have mountains. You have some rivers that are violent and vicious. You have some areas that are so far away that you don't really have people crossing. So you don't need that."

"You'll need anywhere from 700 to 900 miles," he said.
 
Trump also offered a very different description of the border barrier than he portrayed in campaign rallies, where he would sometimes talk about a wall 30 feet high.

His new description closely resembles the border fencing built under Presidents George W. Bush and Obama.

"You need transparency. You have to be able to see through it," Trump said.
 
He is just stating the obvious. How are you going to build a wall through a 12 story high mountain?

The wall will save America billions over it's liketime, maybe trillions. It will also defend your sovereignty. Like it or not, the need for a wall has been forced upon America.
 
I gotta go see these "violent, vicious rivers". :Boom2:

Perhaps he meant "viscous"? :dunno:

How come it's "obvious" now ---- yet it wasn't so "obvious" in November? Hm?

How come when the rest of us stated the obvious it fell on oblivious ears?

--- by what? The Rump University maxim of "you don't sell solutions -- you sell feelings"? Feelings like a wall to keep out border jumpers even though most illegals don't even come in that way?

Cult of Ignorance cashes in yet again. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the USian public.

he's right, we all knew that, it's irrelevant to everyone but the looney left.

Apparently not even Rump would have voted for candidate Rump.

To quote the inimitable Lord Buckley, there you jolly well are (whew) aren't you.

Sooooo you're saying Rump was elected on a big lie?

Thanks. That was like pulling teeth.

So it all comes down to Trump wants to build an additional 50-250 miles of fence

How reassuring is it to have as CinC an orange klown who needed two years to figure out what the rest of us figured out in two hours. :rolleyes:

Almost as reassuring as knowing that there walk among us just enough drones who were so easily snowed by being sold "feelings".

Funny how it wasn't so damn obvious on the campaign trail.

Well that is true. You need way more than 30 feet, because thousands and thousands of Mexicans are dancing on rooftops. They're laughing at us. Many Mexicans are saying that. Amazing, incredible rooftops. All of them 31 feet high.
 
Rumpty Dumpy ran on "A Wall!",
Rumpty Dumpy had a great Fall.
The Spring and Summer --- not so much.
A list of one: Neil Gorsuch.
And all the McConnels and Paul Ry-yens
Could never get Rumple elected again

Trump was repeatedly told during his campaign that we did not need or want a 2000 mile, 30 foot tall concrete wall. He scoffed at them and called them weak on immigration

Now he is talking about a couple hundred miles of see through fence and acting like it was his idea all along
 
Did anyone read why he wants the wall to be transparent?

I can't even type it as it's so fucking stupid.

I believe it's so he can watch the strippers in Tijuana.
Amazing, incredible strippers. Thousands of them dancing on rooftops. With blood coming out of their wherevers. If they weren't the enemy he'd be dating them.

Gotta keep an eye on those Mexicans
They are all murderers and rapists

Soooo --- by his own definition Rump is "weak on immigration".

Cue Jeb Bush to call him "low energy". Imagine the retaliatory 4am tweets. :popcorn:
