Is that "fallen by wind wall" a new Trump constructed wall?

Or an old piece of wall erected by Clinton? bush2? Or GREENLIGHT BOYEE Barry oBaMeeee?

LOL!

In your video link it explained how the concrete wasn't yet cured.
Plus it's the end of the wall section, so it has less support.
Maybe the science part confused you?

Not even newsworthy.

Except, well, Trump.

I actually agree. There is way too much good and bad directly attributed to the guy.

In all fairness you would have to be pretty dim to believe that Trump would understand engineering a wall. Calculating wind loads, soil compression and so on are specialized skills.

But if he says he can build a wall better than anyone, some people will believe him.

And if were he to say that he knocked the wall down with his mind to show Mexico they need to pay, many would have a whole new respect for the MAGA hats....





But - could he make a rock so big that he couldn’t lift it?

Big ass tents for circus's......

seems so obvious when you say it, but I missed that.
Buttressing.

my wife would participate in the trade: her terms would be 1) you have to take me, and 2) you have to take me, and 3) she doesn't want anything in return...

she'll even pay for my plane ticket...sure hope tail and his wife have room for me...

I heard Trump was gonna roll out a re-booted campaign slogan after this fiasco, to deflect blame from himself for the wall failure: "Mexico is building the wall...and we're paying for it"

Yeah!

Trump isn't a civil engineer.

Who does he think he is? JFK?
The esteemed aerospace engineer who developed our ability to fly to the moon...


You sure are smart to figure that out, brewha.

Well there I am forgetting my audience and playing Captain Obvious. Shame on me.

I guess everyone knows that when Trumps says “I make the best steaks” it because he knows where to order them.

And when he says “I’m not a criminal” its because he spends so much on lawyers.

And when he says “I’m not a racist” it’s because..ok, well, we all know that’s bullsh1t - but someone might believe it...



Yeah, sometime I forget that peoples is pretty smart....

Don’t forget Al Gore. Without him we wouldn’t know the difference between a U-R-L and an A-S-S.
