Not sure whether this is the privately funded wall of if it's actually part of the Trump wall. Gratifying none the less.

About 30 miles from me is a bridge, which is the second bridge at that location. The first one, labeled Galloping Gertie succumbed to the forces of the wind back in the 1940's. It lasted about 4 months.

"On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall."

"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."

"And it's going to be a serious wall. It's not going to be a toy wall like we have right now where cars and trucks drive over it..."

"I know how to build, believe me, I know how to build."

"It's going to be a powerful wall."

"Someday, when I`m no longer around, they will call at the Trump wall. It`s got to be the greatest wall."

The vegetation in the clip is desert and there is dust everywhere.

The Rio Grande Valley is swampy. It's not a desert.
