The Washed Up Border Wall



Recent monsoon rains in the southwest have apparently knocked down portions of the border wall in Arizona built by sociopathic cult leader Donald "Loser" Trump, as an article in Gizmodo demonstrates:

"Photos show former President Donald Trump’s border wall in deep disrepair after summer monsoon rains literally blew floodgates off their hinges.

The damage took place near San Bernardino Ranch, a historic site that sits between Douglas, Arizona, and the San Bernardino Wildlife Refuge. [snip]

José Manuel Pérez Cantú, the director of the nonprofit Cuenca de Los Ojos, said in an email that six gates were washed out at this location alone. Other gates were also reportedly impacted by the heavy rainfall and flooding. The power and height of the waters can be seen in not just the heavy gates ripped open but the debris that wrapped around intact portions of the wall."

When Trump announced his candidacy for the Presidency in June 2015, he bragged about his wall construction ability:

"I will build a great wall -- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me --and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." 

Trump's wall wasn't great, it wasn't finished, and Mexico didn't pay a single peso for it.
