Trump had 4 years as the leader of the greatest nation on earth to complete the wall. He only managed to complete 47 miles of new primary border wall during his tenure. (Source : US Customs and Border Protection report January 8, 2021)
Just the facts.
It’s a bit shocking to see some on this site actually imply that the border was ‘secure’ under Trump. Nothing really changed or slowed down at all.
Trump had opposition from the Democrats, the Republicans, all the alphabet agencies and the Ministry of Propaganda.
It’s amazing what he did get done.
Don’t forget he was obstructed at every turn by the RATS & RINOS.
He was stopped by democrats, R’s eco nazis at every twist and turn.
Congress constantly revoked or denied funding to it.
This country isn’t so great anymore after we let the D’s tortue it for decades.
Trump fought through the court system every step of the way. He also replaced a joke of a border in many areas. Biden stopped it. Facts.
Actually you are missing many facts.
Many miles of WINO were converted to *real* walls.
You smell like future ozone.
Just the facts.
That is not a fact at all but instead it's a gross distortion of facts.
Where do you get your "facts" from troll? CNN? Parsing it to only include completely new barriers while disregarding fence like in the picture below is simply fraud. Why would you attempt to deceive Freepers with your bullsh1t?
That's only part of the story. Do you work for CNN or MSNBC?

Apparently, you missed one “fact.” Trump wasn’t king. He was a President operating without the support of “his” party. A political party that has defacto supported open borders for the pat 30 years. And who can we thank for that? Us. Time and again we send human debris to “represent” us in the swamp. That’s on us and not President Trump. Obviously, it’s easier to blame Trump than look in the mirror.
Hey, you can thank Paul Dipshit Ryan for not adding the wall funds to the mega spending bill in the Fall of 2018. It would be peanuts compared to the total budget.
Another example of many, where Trump trusted the A-holes around him.
He was fought every step of the way by BOTH parties, and had to deal with a several bogus investigations and 2, count’em 2, impeachments. That he accomplished all that he did despite the multi-pronged opposition he faced is a tribute to his moral strength and his organizational abilities.
This time will be different. No more softee Trump - he’s going after the Swamp, tooth and claw. He knows, through first-hand experience, that they are the most dangerous enemies of the US.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not Fact—He had the Democrats and Media fighting him every step of the way. EVERYTHING Trump did was “Racist” “Criminal” and “Anti-American” He got a great deal done despite that.

What is it with people like you? Trump should have done this that and the other thing. All while doing all those other things.
News Flash....unlike the clown the came before him, he did or tried to do things the right way. He knew that he needed money for the wall. And because of that he needed to go to Congress. Congress gave him the finger.
So, what did he do, among ALL the other things he had going on, figured out a way to get the money by other means. The man was, literally, taking on 525ish absolute traitors to this country. Foreign governments. And everything else. And he still got sh*t done.
He had perfect leverage over the Mexican’s when he threatened to shut down the border, completely. What happened? Instead of going to talk to him to find out what was up, Cruz and everyone else piled on and started going after him on Twitter and elsewhere. He had AMLO and the rest of that region on their knees. But...NOPE, that wasn’t good enough for Congress and the Chamber of Commerce.
And lets not forget some other issues like a certain dossier and being stabbed in the back by his own AG.
Go to Townhall or National Review.

A PRESIDENT CANNOT . . .
* make laws.
* declare war.
* decide how federal money will be spent.
* interpret laws.
* choose Cabinet members or Supreme Court Justices without Senate approval.

He needed funds. Congress didn’t approve.
The constitutional provision making Congress the ultimate authority on government spending passed with far less debate. The framers were unanimous that Congress, as the representatives of the people, should be in control of public funds—not the President or executive branch agencies.
