Trump Facebook ads reassure supporters he will build border wall

BY ALI BRELAND - 09/20/17 11:26 AM EDT

President Trump is using targeted Facebook ads to assure supporters he will build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, reports BuzzFeed News.

"There's been a lot of noise and a lot of rumors," reads the ad on Trump's personal Facebook page.

"WE WILL BUILD A WALL (NOT A FENCE) ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES," it adds, calling the issue "non-negotiable."

The ad has been targeted to specific Facebook users in recent days. Vice President Pence’s Facebook page is running a similar ad, according to BuzzFeed.

Trump’s declaration comes after he tweeted last week that the wall “is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls.”
