So today SHITLER replies to the news about $100 reciprocating saws slicing his "impenetrable" wall

All SHITLER does (besides golf & grooming) is respond to every news bit about him.

Well, there is probably a clipping service with somebody telling him what’s in the “newspapers” (do we still call them that?). It’s barely a step up from the tabloids that he used to feed flattering fiction about himself to. And he does this INSTEAD of keeping up with Intelligence briefings.

So yesterday we saw how his boondoggle border wall, which he claimed is impenetrable, is being cut through with $100 reciprocating saws, and overnight he HAD to reply, even after being boo-ed at Madison Square Garden. He’s got nothing better to do, like looking out for the country.

And that’s the core rot about him: A president is supposed to care about the country, the people, the planet – NOT putting *himself* first, and with him everything is ONLY about him.

Trump defends border wall design after report smugglers are sawing through it

.... "We have a very powerful wall. But no matter how powerful, you can cut through anything, in all fairness. But we have a lot of people watching. You know cutting, cutting is one thing, but it's easily fixed. One of the reasons we did it the way we did it, it's very easily fixed. You put the chunk back in,” Trump said. ....

Trump's statement is a far cry from years of campaigning that a border wall would be nearly impossible for smugglers to overcome. In a visit to one of the construction sites in September, Trump said the border wall is "virtually impenetrable" and could not be climbed. ....

“The bollards are not the most evolved design; they are the most evolved that we could pay for,” Ronald Vitiello, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the Post. “We never said they would be an end-all, be-all.”

Acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters Tuesday that officials have completed 76 miles of new border wall in 2019, and that he expects 450 new miles of barrier by the end of 2020.
