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.
