Trump tells reporters border wall is wired, immediately after army general asks him not to discuss in public
Exchange prompts nervous laughter from officials
Jon 1 hour ago
Donald Trump touted the robust construction of his border fence on a visit to southern California, but risked the ire of one of his top generals by revealing the barrier would be wired to detect attempts to breach it.
Flanked by engineers and the border patrol commissioner, the president talked up the steel-and-concrete fences technological elements during a press conference in San Diego.
He said: Theyre wired, so that we will know if somebody is trying to break through.
Turning to Lt Gen Todd Semonite, chief of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Mr Trump added: You may want to discuss that a little bit, general.
But he was told: Sir, there could be some merit in not discussing it.
To nervous laughter from officials, Mr Trump continued: Ok. I like that. That was a great answer. Ill just tell you theyre wired, ok? Theyre wired. Theyre technologically very advanced, all set up for cameras any place we want.

(19,201 posts)In a tweet responding to the latest Moron-in-Chief scandal he typed, "Another Fake News story out there It never ends! Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself. No problem!
.Knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially heavily populated call. I would only do what is right anyway, and only do good for the USA!
Presidential Harassment!
It's not that I'm dumb enough, Donnie Dip-Shit, it's that YOU are dumb enough, many, many times over!
And does anyone really believe Trump typed this by himself without outside help? There are way too many multi-syllable words in that tweet to be composed by himself. The idiot is too stupid to remember what his wife's name is!
