Trump on private border wall segment: ‘It was only done to make me look bad’
A report indicated a section of the wall is already displaying structural troubles.

Saying it was done to embarrass him, President Donald Trump on Sunday said a reportedly defective section of his new border wall should not have been built by a private company.

ProPublica and the Texas Tribune reported Thursday that a segment of the wall along the Texas-Mexico border was showing dangerous “signs of erosion“ only months after being completed. The section was constructed by Fisher Industries of North Dakota, whose owner called the design a “Lamborghini.” It cost $42 million.

“I disagreed,” Trump tweeted Sunday, “with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.“ (The misspelling of “perhaps” was part of the tweet.)

Wow.

Bannon of course knifed Trump by knifing his family in that book back a couple of years ago.

Bannon’s War Room podcast was pushing “War Room:Epidemic”, with its worst of worst Chinese coronavirus porn back to *JANUARY* this year. Always struck me as part of the larger Deep State operation, though supposedly from the right.

He could well have been on Trump’s radar for payback and neutralization these last couple of years.

An obvious typo, pointed out to make people think Trump can't spell. If that had been a Democrat, it would have been written perhsps[sic]
