The Wall

The whole stupid border wall is just BS.

Trump has no idea what it would take to build the wall.

1. Survey.
2. Environmental Impact Study.
3. Eminent Domain to secure right of way.
4. Infrastructure to give access to construction equipment.
5. Estimates for cost.

a. Material
b. Labor

6. Bidding and letting contracts.
7. Start building.

And just where is this $5B portion of the wall supposed to be built. And how long do you think it is going to take to get through steps 1-6?

He has none of this. I think it is some sort of money grab.

the original estimate was 25B but it's likely double that.
