    Winds along the Mexico- California border blew some portions of trumps state of the art "perfect" wall over. First they cut through it, then they scaled it and now wind knocks it over.

    I don't think you can call it "state of the art" when it's under construction, but you do you...

    Additionally, this wasn't the concrete wall he bragged about, it's a steel paneling that's being put up for budgetary reasons. The one he bragged about was costly, but impressive, and (allegedly) took Special Forces some significant time to get through.

    Why can't i? trump calls it state of the art.

    Here's a recent article of trump boasting the wall as impenetrable. Rumor has it Mexico is going to install wind turbines next to the wall. :biglaugh:

    For all his foibles, I think even you would admit that he doesn't count things still under construction as state of the art. And as I said, the steel planking isn't what was discussed anyway when it was being discussed. The one I referenced pretty much is, and I guarantee you a couple of immigrants nor some wind would take it down.

    And, did you know that no part of the "Trump Wall" has even been constructed yet? (At least, as of September) NBC affiliates calling it a "Trump Wall" makes it sound like it wasn't a decrepit part of the old border being patched up (and under construction), but part of the "State of the Art" wall.

    So, that's why.:)

    he's boasted of his wall for awhile now. You know, the one that Mexico will pay for. :biglaugh:

    By the way, foibles was a poor choice of word, you should have said for all of his lies.

    You'd think something so connected to the president would be better at dodging a draft.
