How come Trump doesn't talk about building his wall anymore?

When Trump was running in 2016 he promised to build a big beautiful 30 foot high brick wall across the entire US border.

But that brick wall turned out to be fence that Trump claimed was un penetrability.

But it turned out that that fence could be cut threw with a $10 hacksaw or pried apart with a 5 foot long pry bar. And the fence was only a couple of hundred feet long.

I figure if Trump used all the money he spent on the wall to hire more border patrol it would have been more effective. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I was just thinking you don’t hear Trump talking about building an Iron Dome over America – or a futuristic city with flying cars anymore. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I was just thinking about how America went threw the longest government shut down in it’s history because Trump demanded more funding for his wall. A wall that could be breached with a $10 hacksaw or a 5 foot pry bar. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Because Mexico refused to pay for it.

    I bet well Trump was going on and on about how Mexico was going to pay for the wall - he knew darn well they weren't going to. Then when Mexico started publicly saying they weren't going to pay Trump starting claiming they would be paying with stiff duties. Bet that wasn’t the case and Americans paid for every penny of Trump’s wall. Cheers and happy weekend!

    From what I understand, most of the cost relating to the wall was repairing what was already there and then another few feet which cost more than a ridiculous amount of money considering that my grandmother could have scaled it.

    I remember when Trump was having a photo OP at his wall. He was bragging about how un penetrable it was. Then he started talking about how the wall had motion censors at the top of it – then he turned to a border guard and said – isn't that right and the border guard said – ummmm that's supposed to be a secret. Cheers and happy weekend!

    They were never going to complete it anyway. Several folks who own land right on the border weren't going to let the goons in.

    There is still talk about, it is just not what the news is choosing to talk about.
