The CEO of the French construction group Vinci said Tuesday that he would not participate in the building of any wall on the US border with Mexico, called for by President Donald Trump.

“I have to take into account the reality of my company, our culture, our way of doing things and our sensitivities, not only those of my American colleagues, but around the world,” Xavier Huillard told BFM Business television.

I can see how cost effective it would be to import concrete from France. I don’t think so, buddy. Fake news.

Why would we need a French company to build the wall?

Why in God’s name would we have any but US companies build the wall?

Well, I suppose we’d accept Mexican companies contributing for free...

No one was asking his company to help build it in the first place. A non-story.

Competitive bidding is a requirement; submitting a bid is voluntary. GFYS!

Mexican and French companies announce they don’t want big bucks to help with building The Wall.... as though we ever asked them!! Screw these losers, we will build The Wall with All-American labor and materials, I expect. What ridiculous presumption for these clowns to announce they aren’t helping when we haven’t asked them. More asinine than the fashion designers who announce they won’t work with Melania when she never asked them..... just grandstanding, posturing a-holes.

Never forget the Vincy French put over a million onto Death Trains in WWII. Never forget that they are losing their Jewish population at about the same rate that the Muslim population is increasing today.

They’d put doors in the wall every 25 feet and line the top of it with white flags.

Better the French refuse now than to give up later when it’s partially built.

They might be “from Vinci,” but they aren’t as great as The Master, Leonardo.
