HOUSTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that’s showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was “only done to make me look bad,” even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters.

The group that raised money online for the wall promoted itself as supporting Trump during a government shutdown that started in December 2018 because Congress wouldn’t fund Trump’s demands for a border wall. Called “We Build the Wall,” the group has raised more than $25 million promoting itself as supporting the president.

Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon joined the group’s board and Trump ally Kris Kobach became its general counsel. Kobach is now seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Kansas.

The company that built the private section in January, North Dakota-based Fisher Industries, has since won a $1.3 billion border wall contract from the federal government, the largest award to date.

Everyone gets the knife in the back from Donny eventually.
How does it feel, fools?

2. Here's a funnier thing yet

Snip (from a WaPo link I just posted on another wall thread):

The private contractors who are receiving this money to build the structure comprise a range of large conglomerates and smaller companies. Most have tried to maintain a low profile, but the CEO of one firm, North Dakota-based Fisher Industries, has pursued an aggressive campaign to promote his company through lobbying efforts and appearances on Fox News.

Trump personally urged military officials to hire Fisher, and the company recently won a $400 million contract. Several lawmakers raised concerns about the bidding process, and the contract is now under review by the Pentagon’s inspector general.

7. Why is it that both friend and foe work so hard to make Trump "look bad"?

Might it be that no help is necessary?

[Bengus81]

8. So how much did that guy that raked in $25M actually spend?

He'll probably just pocket the remainder and live larger than Brad. Man...those Trumpanzies are one bunch of ignorant fucks.

11. Under the bus ya go, racist Trump supporters!

In the words of the great Jimi Hendrix:

Tire tracks all across your back
I can see you've had your fun
Darlin' can't you see my signal's turned from green to red
With you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead

13. Donnie, Donnie, Donnie

Your very existence makes you look bad.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. lol. I hope it spurns a paranoid infighting about who is the betrayer.

If Heir Trump says it was only built to make him look bad then that is what happened.

So WHO WAS IT in their group that was the provocateur? The secret Demo-rat? Libtard? That sabotaged it maybe by knowingly ordering sub standard work or materials? A fly on the wall please

15. You know what upsets me?

How everyone is programmed to call a fence a wall. It's a fucking fence.

16. Sooner or later, Trump is gonna knife ya...

Sung to the tune "Sooner Or Later" by The Grass Roots:

Sooner or later, Trump is gonna knife ya
Sooner or later, Trump will use his shiv
Sooner or later, Trump is gonna spite ya
Sooner or later, Trump's head is gonna spin

It's just a matter of time
before he makes up his mind
To lash out from all his crying
It's just a question of when
I've told you time and again
You'll get all the stabs he's been denying

Sooner or later...

[rpannier]

Trump will throw anybody and everybody overboard

21. a significant amount of people in the US are in a death cult...

They'll spend million, billions on stupid shit like this.

Money to help starving people - nope.
Money for disasters - nahhh
Money to help with climate change - get the fu*k out of here
Money to fixt health care - no way communist!

Money for War, guns, walls, prisons. - SURE!

death cults. They dont care about life. They to damages, scared, stupid to know what it means
They're in a death cult


not sure what bothers me more: the mentally damaged that are so hate filled and damaged, or the "businesses" that are more than happy to build laughable crap like this and laugh all the way to the bank.
