I have no doubt New York could raise the money without federal help. Besides - and if you know Trump, you already know this - that figure is highly exaggerated. The Army Corps of Engineers' proposal is $119 billion. Can you imagine how he'd be screaming if a sea wall to protect millions of Americans from actual danger were funded and not his border wall that protects no one from anything? Talk about something that "probably won't work anyway!"
Plus...it won't "look terrible" - all but the uppermost portion of a sea wall is below the water line. Who knows what the idiot is envisioning. All he knows is he can't put his name on it.
Here's the sea wall at Galveston, Texas. The sea wall that has protected the city for a century. The engineering challenges might be different for New York, but that's why we educate and train brilliant engineers.
