Trump's Wall

That, and that he doesn't pay for it, tho' he will claim credit for gains, real and imagined, and leave others holding the bag for liabilities as is his business model.

Smugglers are sawing through new sections of Donny's border wall

After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the steel out of the way, creating an adult-size gap. Because the bollards are so tall — and are attached only to a panel at the top — their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling, according to engineers consulted by The Washington Post.

The taxpayer-funded barrier — so far coming with a $10 billion price tag — was a central theme of Trump’s 2016 campaign, and he has made the project a physical symbol of his presidency, touting its construction progress in speeches, ads and tweets. Trump has increasingly boasted to crowds in recent weeks about the superlative properties of the barrier, calling it “virtually impenetrable” and likening the structure to a “Rolls-Royce” that border crossers cannot get over, under or through.

Former border commissioner: Dipshit Donny's 'incredibly expensive' border policy didn't make sense in first place

President* Trump’s border “wall” — which is actually a combination of vehicle barriers and pedestrian fencing — has come at a hefty price so far.

More than $15 billion has been allocated during the Trump administration to build roughly 738 miles of a new "border wall system,” according to the latest update from the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), though most of that has not actually been constructed.

In any case, former CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske believes that the money going toward Trump’s wall could be better spent.

“The money is much better invested in technology than barriers,” Kerlikowske told Yahoo Finance. “And remember, the cost of the barrier, which you’ve seen some prices that are multi-millions of dollars per square mile or per mile of barrier. The other part is that all of this, since the Secure Fence Act and since these things have been installed over several administrations, is the cost of maintenance and repair.”

Just a semi-clever way to funnel government dollars into third party hands which then funnel money back back into tRump's pockets, through various means. Money laundering anyone?
