Trump tells reporters border wall is 'wired', immediately after army general asks him not to discuss

Donald Trump touted the robust construction of his border fence on a visit to southern California, but risked the ire of one of his top generals by revealing the barrier would be “wired” to detect attempts to breach it.

Flanked by engineers and the border patrol commissioner, the president talked up the steel-and-concrete fence’s technological elements during a press conference in San Diego.

He said: “They’re wired, so that we will know if somebody is trying to break through.

I have the news on in the background all day - working from home. Funny how you pick up things subliminally. Trump CAN NOT KEEP A SECRET. He will hint at things before they happen or after ALWAYS just to prove he knows something YOU don't know.

Anyway - he has done this with Minnesota - that he will win it. So when there's a hack it will for sure happen there.

Oh my god. Trump starts to discuss apparently sensitive technology deployed at the border. Asks the General in charge to describe the technology.

and I'm still shocked daily by his ignorance and inabililty to learn (or lack of interest in learning). Not to mention his betrayal of our national security and of everything good that our country stands for (or used to stand for).

He's had every opportunity to learn something worthwhile his whole spoiled life and this is the depth of critical thinking we get from our leader.

BTW his tie is dangling literally six inches at least over his belt line. It's getting ridiculous, like he is trying his very best to actually become J. Wellington Wimpy.
