    You can clearly see that we as taxpayers are getting the shaft from Trump's wall contractors. They be takin' the money and runnin'.


    ‘I build the best product!’ A section of Donald Trump’s border wall gets blown over and his critics are loving it

    A freshly installed section of President Trump's “virtually impenetrable” U.S. border wall got blown over by high winds on Wednesday, according to several reports, with local Mexicali officials scrambling to divert traffic. Agent Carlos Pitones of the Customs and Border Protection sector told CNN that the sections that gave way had recently been set in a new concrete foundation in Calexico, California and that the concrete had not yet cured. This comes a few months after Trump visited the wall near where this section fell and said, “This wall is not something that can be really knocked down.” Earlier this week, just one day before the gusty winds took their toll, Trump told a crowd in New Jersey that the wall was “going up at record speed”.

    Normally when I built walls for commercial and residential facilities we had supports for new walls with new cement....Why in the hell are these people not supporting walls with a foundation of uncured concrete?

    I don't know.

    A better question is why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?

    It is so blatantly obvious that some will never hold tRUMP to any type of responsibility.
    He is a CON man through and through and it is proven everyday when someone will make excuses for whatever he or his kind do.

    Well, he’s certainly not making a mountain out of a standing wall... ;)

    I can't think of any major construction project this size with no unexpected setbacks. Of course critics love it. Maybe you will get lucky and a piece of tissue will get stuck to his shoe again.

    Trump should have hired Mexicans to build the wall it would at least stand long enough to be pushed over..

    So this is his fault for the wind blowing before conctrte was cured

    Trump does not need defending from such nonsense . lol. The problem is with those who use nonsense to attack his voters . So absurd and childish.

    One day you guys will have a legit point so I can agree with it.

    Yeah, who could have predicted wind?
    It’d be like a boat builder being asked to plan for waves. They’re not psychics.

    No, a construction company that fails with their concrete pour can very well lose their bond status. This certainly needs investigation on the work of the construction company.

    LMFAO!

    You do realize that the portion of the wall was put in the trench and the cement was not even set yet??????

    This thread is a waste of valuable bandwidth.

    Meanwhile, hundreds of miles of border wall has already been built without a snag.

    Heck, Obama couldn't even get ObamaCare to launch without tons of crashes and errors.

    Some of these political outrage threads are just pure comedy.

    Last night on the news they had a report about an underground tunnel reaching from Mexico to San Diego.
    If people and drugs can be smuggled underground, what good is a wall? I'm sure this tunnel is not the only one. :no:

    So a few more potential child molesters, sex traffickers and drunk drivers get through.

    Does that make you happy?


    BTW, the title of the article is supposed to be the title of the OP per the rules. You've been here long enough to realize that.

    Do you even read your own damn articles?
    Get back to me when a completed portion of the wall gets blown over in the wind?

    Regardless of who found it---It's obvious that a wall isn't going to stop the flow of drugs or people into the USA from Mexico.
