BUSTED: Trump caught tweeting old photos in post hailing 'the start' of his border wall

@realDonaldTrump
Great briefing this afternoon on the start of our Southern Border WALL!










As Buzzfeed fact-checked, this was not actually the start of Trump’s wall, but a repair effort that was started back in 2009 to fix a portion of existing fence that was built in the 1990s.

“Although the existing wall has proven effective at deterring unlawful cross border activity, smuggling organizations damaged and breached this outdated version of a border wall several hundred times during the last two years,” CBP said when announcing the project.

As yet, construction has not yet started on Trump’s border wall.

And to-date, Mexico has been adamant that they will not be paying for his wall.

Lots of people have to work hard to be this ignorant, but our phony POTUS seems to be a natural.

My estimate: all of them.

Roseanne probably gave him a congratulatory call.
