BORDER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “And the wall is coming along very well…
We’re up to 250 miles, and that’s real wall. That’s a wall that you don’t get through. It’s tough stuff, and built to the highest standard. Built to everything that Border Patrol wanted. They all sat down and they designed their perfect wall, and then we said, “Let’s build it that way.” And we’re up to 250 miles. By the end of the year, we’ll be up to 450 or so, and we’ll have it finished very shortly thereafter.”
