Ann Coulter: ‘Not 1 Inch of Trump’s Wall Has Been Built’

Despite the claims of President Donald Trump, who may be referencing some new border fencing and renovation thereof, “not 1 inch” of his border wall has been built, said conservative author Ann Coulter, who also wondered if Trump’s supporters realize this fact.

“Even a Washington Post reporter knows that not 1 inch of Trump’s wall has been built,” tweeted Coulter on Dec. 11.

“Does Trump think his supporters are dumber than a WaPo reporter?” she asked.

Coulter, who also writes a syndicated column, linked to an article in the Washington Post that details what new construction has occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border. The article reveals that none of the wall Trump pledged to build in his 2016 presidential campaign has been built.

Some new fencing — not a wall — has been erected in Calexico, Calif. But this area to fence was identified by the Border Patrol in 2009 and the material is “bollard fencing,” which is hollow steel beams spaced several inches apart, reported The Post.

Numerous prototypes of the wall have been built. But none of the $1.57 billion allocated last spring for “border protection” may be used for those prototypes.  “The closest thing to a wall,” explained The Post, is 25 miles of levee fencing in the Rio Grande Valley.

“As far as we can tell, from review of local news articles, only 33 miles of new barrier — fencing on top of an existing levee in Hidalgo County, Tex. and a fence in Starr County, Tex. —  would be funded under the 2018 bill,” reported The Post.  “The rest of the money appears to be for replacing existing fencing or barriers — with fencing.” (Emphasis added.)

In April, President Trump stated, “We’ve started building the wall.” On Dec. 11, he tweeted, “… People do not realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!”
