Trump: Border wall will be 35-45 feet tall
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/24/2016 | Anna Giaritelli

Posted on 08/25/2016 10:39:52 AM PDT by Elderberry

Donald Trump laid out new details in a pre-taped interview that aired Wednesday about the border wall he has called to be built on the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I think the height could be 35 to 45 feet. That's a good height. That's a good height. Anywhere in that neighborhood. Could be higher," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity during the second part of an Austin, Texas, town hall.

The Republican nominee said he plans to install a fence along 1,000 miles of the 2,000-mile border because only that portion needs to be reinforced.

Trump said the current border allows drug cartels to bring drugs into the U.S. and take their money back out with them.

Only 35 feet high? He’s softening. No doubt.

Only a fence of that much of the border. Wall along the rest.

Trump is NOT softening, the media would like you to believe that:

Trump with Hannity last night along with Rick Perry, Rudy, Jeff Sessions, a Latino author, the head of ICE, and some others that Trump has talked to...very interesting stuff...

I don’t care what the terrain is, I’d love to see a wall the entire length. Skip a door. All they need is an EXIT turnstile, one way to Mexico.

EPA will shoot it down. It will never pass environmental review.

I have said it before ...they should make a large section of the weakest spot in the wall a military base.

The second weakest spot, later to be named Trump Airport, the nicest airport in the world. Almost a town with every convenience.

Get rid of the EPA

I would love see the EPA try this nonsense with President Trump

EPA: President Trump, We won’t allow you to build that wall, it will endangers the common rattle snake and sewer rat

Trump: Here is the executive order disbanding the EPA, you and your colleagues clean out your desks and leave the property immediately

Trump on phone: Build that wall, get it done and get it done now

Only if the rest is electrified, and is enclosing a mine field and anti-vehicle barriers.

Oh, and don’t forget the sniper towers. You really can’t skimp on the sniper towers.

Wall, fence, doesn't matter as long as you remember the automatic claymores.

Might have to translate it to Spanish or something.

“EPA will shoot it down.”

Not if they’re all out looking for real jobs.
Trump has said he wants to kill the EPA and the Dept. of Education. For starters.
