Trump’s wall goes down in high winds. The amount of money
@realDonaldTrump
has wasted in the past three and a half years is breathtaking. The man is a living, breathing bankruptcy.

High winds might be from a hurricane some where but at this point it’s not hurricane force. It looks like it might be 40 mph wind. Just guessing. But the way that piece of crap was constructed it was a given that it wouldn’t survive high winds. Not sure if this is the section that the trump lovers built; that part only had 2 ft deep foundation. It was built like a large sail, if the wind was hitting it anything like perpendicular there would be enormous amount of force on it. This one looks like it’s a solid surface. Some sections were more like a venation blind but even with some openings it’s just a massive sail. I’ll be interested to find more details.

We are suppose to get Hurricane force winds from Douglas on Kauai about 2am.. is the prediction.

I'm waiting on edge to see how bad or if it spares us like it did the Big Island, Maui, and mostly Oahu.

Hurricane Douglas passing just north of Oahu with 85 mph sustained winds

I needed a hug from you!

When you've been through one major Hurricane, although 28 years ago, you remember things.. Kauai doesn't need this. So glad it didn't hit the Big Island, Maui, or Oahu! I heard from a friend who was watching tv that all the weather casters were amazed how close Douglas came to their shores but missed 'em!

Should know by tomorrow afternoon what just happened.

I'm just asking because it looks and sounds like a shitty tin wall. If it is, what an embarrassing disaster.

And got money funneled to his campaign and into his pockets from contractors ? Hope this gets closely looked into. Another trump money scam to benefit himself? That's what he has done before with many other things he's spent our money on. They need to look into all other family members too that are funneling our money into their pockets.

Consider how much was spent per foot, how much money worked its way back to GOP and trump's pockets?
