President Trump claimed Sunday that a section of fencing built by a private company along a wildlife refuge near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona was only done to "make [him] look bad."
In a tweet, the president claimed that he had never supported efforts by a private contractor to build a section of border fencing along the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge despite Washington Post reports indicating that Trump himself had pushed for the company to win approval for funding from the Defense Department.
"I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles," he tweeted.
[...]
Now completed, the project is under federal review as government attorneys have alleged that sections of the fencing are endangered by erosion. A spokesperson for the company told ProPublica that the reported erosion was “a normal part of new construction projects like this and does not in any way compromise the fence or associated roadway.”
The Hill
Eventually, he turns on everybody. Do you suppose they'll still be Trump supporters?
They should tear the fucking thing down and put up plaques naming it the Donald J Trump Memorial Wall.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
