Trump pushes back on Kelly claim: All concrete wall was 'never abandoned'

Source: The Hill



BY BRETT SAMUELS - 12/31/18 08:08 AM EST

President Trump on Monday asserted that his administration did not abandon the concept of building a concrete wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a day after his outgoing chief of staff John Kelly said the White House had long since moved on from the idea of a “solid concrete wall.”

Trump tweeted that an "all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media." Kelly's interview with The Los Angeles Times was published on Sunday morning.

The president also repeated his proposal for the border wall to made with “see through” materials.

"Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides)," Trump added. "Makes sense to me!"

In one he says "all concrete" in the next he say it makes sense to be "see through". The orange a-hole has totally lost it and is talking gibberish.
