"It looked official. After all, it was from the President of the United States..."
Brian Williams didn't hide the snark on Wednesday's 11th Hour show. Trump used a video showing Army Corps of Engineers repairing an extension of an existing border fence in New Mexico, touting it as "new" wall construction.
He really does think his base are idiots.
PS Trump's fake national "emergency" actually takes money from the Army Corps of Engineers.

But it is a NEW WALL; because they're not adding to the existing structures, but are instead replacing them.
Ergo: It's a HUGE BEAUTIFUL WALL.
In 1976, Congress passed the National Emergencies Act, which permits the president to pronounce a national emergency when he considers it appropriate. The act offers no specific definition of “emergency” and allows a president to declare one entirely at his or her discretion.
SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
But it wasn't "repaired"; because the older sections were REMOVED, not REPAIRED or ADDED TO, and then they were REPLACED with a NEW WALL.
A HUGE BEAUTIFUL WALL.

The length has nothing to do with the FACT that the old structures were removed and a NEW WALL was built.

from the link in the OP....
using California road money to build a wall....does it get any better than this?......He would unlawfully steal money from Army Corps of Engineers projects, including $160 mil in CA-48, to fund a monument to his ego.
The thing that amazes me is how he can switch the reasons for the wall at will.
It's kind of like the condition for releasing his taxes. (Ha Ha)
Oh, first it's this, then it's that. Musical conditions. Take your pick.
Doesn't matter. It's all baloney.
So, first we had to build the wall because immigrants were taking American jobs and it was 'wrecking the economy.'
Well, that got kinda hard to sell because the economy is fine and unemployment is low.
No Problem!
Time for a reason shift!
Now it's because they are 'bringing drugs and crime.'
SHHHHH!
Don't tell the Trump supporters.
Crime has been receding for a long time.
And the drugs are coming in through legal ports of entry, disguised.
Naturally, if this wall is supposed to stop all that we should see a noticeable reduction in drugs and crime as soon as the wall is done.
What do you wanna bet no Trump supporters will care if that never happens.
And that will expose the real reason.
They don't like people who are not like them.
They are afraid somebody will say something about them in Spanish and they won't be able to understand.
Oh the horrors.
Better break up some more families, create some more orphans.
I don't know about job creation but we can certainly measure the number of orphans created.
