Perhaps you’ve heard that a portion of Donald Trump‘s border wall collapsed yesterday after it was unable to withstand extreme wind gusts… of 37 MPH.
WATCH: A part of the border wall between Calexico, CA and Mexicali, Mexico tipped over into Mexico on Wednesday afternoon, according to Mexicali police. Trees next to the wall have kept it from falling over entirely. No injuries or damages have been reported so far. pic.twitter.com/PVl4s8VS00

The collapse happened in Calexico, California shortly after Trump held a rally in New Jersey where he lied about how “beautiful” and “powerful” his new wall was.
“We are now building that beautiful wall,” Trump said. “This powerful border wall is going up at record speed, and we just reached over 100 miles of wall. And next year we’ll be over 400 miles. And shortly thereafter it will be complete.”

And now, the responses…
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Trump is like his Border Wall: supported mostly by delusional fantasies, far too easy to cross, and likely to buckle and crumble in the face of sustained pressure.

A piece of the border wall toppled over on Mexican side. I guess Mexicans wanted their property back. They paid for it, after all. https://t.co/odNEt0Yb3d

I used to think the border wall was a Karen.
Now it’s more of an Eileen. https://t.co/GxNWSh3JbI

So when Trump said he “never understood wind,” we maybe shoulda listened, huh?

Even Ann Coulter, author of In Trump We Trust, isn’t pleased about this wall business:
Today's BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday-Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration—2.5. NEXT UPDATE TOMORROW.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 30, 2020
Someone please remind us… Is this what winning looks like?

Oh, the symbolism.

Well, if people read the actual news reporting, its because the cement didn’t cure. It’s not as if this was a completed section of construction which blew over as the news headlines would have you believe. That’s what happen when people read for an agenda and not for facts.
Secondly, it’s not surprising that far leftists get enjoyment anytime there is a failure in border security whether it be physical or through legislation

The Walls of Jericho fell too so what the hell.

If the contractors were legitimate instead of just in it to pocket taxpayers money they would have left supports in place until the cement cured. But Russian trolls don’t know these things.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Harley, you literally took the words right off my keyboard. No legitimate contractor would leave such a high veritical structure without substantial bracing to allow the concrete to set. Proves the wall is being constructed at a rapid pace simply so the Orange Puppet can boast about how long it is just like it does with it’s coock despite being a member of the itty bitty teeny weeny committee….

@truthdenier, you seem to have worked yourself into quite a lather about this obvious and farcical Drumpf failure. Just admit that you worship and defend a treasonous con man who cares as much about that damned wall as he does about America, which is ZERO. He’s out for himself and has always been. Maybe if Putin, Erdogan or Xi demand that he build the wall with any structural integrity, he’ll listen. He sure in the hell doesn’t listen to the American people, Congress, or the LAW!

Like Trump Tower: cheap materials. Cheap President, cheap construction and cheap morality.

Kellyanne says we added another 2.5 miles of successful wall. Tell her The Big Bad Rump huffed and puffed too much and blew the wall down.
