President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2018

Will you ever stop with the made-up sh*t? There is no 10’ wall surrounding their property.— claire (@claire82618060) January 1, 2019
One anonymous neighbor said to the Post, "Trump has a very active imagination ... There’s a fence that goes along the front of the house, but it’s the same as the other neighbors have.”
Here's a picture of the Obama home. There's a low brick retaining wall with an iron fence that opens to the sidewalk. There's also a chain link fence at the back of the property. Ten foot wall? Not so much.

Remind me of the old saying, something about a lie racing halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on? Yeah, as per Trump's standard policy, he says whatever lie he chooses and his followers snap it up like chum at a shark party. They Do Not Care If It's True or Not. They want to believe anything that proves Trump's point. Lies don't matter to them.
ReplyDeleteAnd again, the news people, (I can't call them journalists anymore) stand around looking stupid and don't bother to put their shoes on.
Tomorrow is an important day, when Democrats take the House and hopefully start cleaning it up. Let's hope they can.
