What a senseless waste of money!

Who is surprised that Trump will personally profit to this.

Strange how the article doesn't, you know, actually delve into exactly what these 'Trump ties' are. Maybe they're Trump Ties, like neckties with Trump's face on them? Great reporting !

Soooo Mexico is NOT paying for it? Got it.

More money wasted

Who owns this construction company that's getting this 400 million?

Dude, Trump is a developer. What builder doesn’t have at least some sort of tie to him?

And you can cut through it with a saw that costs less than $100 what an unbelievably bad investment, you would have thought it was Trump Airlines thats how poor of an investment this is fuck.

So ummm, he is trying to cut the food stamps, toilets, bathroom, and babies so he could fund the wall? 👀👀🗣🗣🤧🤧🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ wow

Why have a big high fence for to stop people crossing Then end it with a low one that a ninety year old woman with bad arthritis could get over ?

Not tbe least bit suspicious...not at all 😬

Great job by realDonaldTrump . He is very frugal. Amazing!

What happened to the “digging a moat, homing genetically modified gators, and setting up 24/7 web cam with live feed into the White House” idea?

Build the wall

Uh isn’t this technically Self-dealing , CFA would not approve

USACE should've accepted the job and then dragged their feet until after 2020.

Why doesn’t the government focus on investing in real infrastructure such as bridges, roads, and trains? realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse Wall

Yeah Trump!!!

Trump can even turn the desert into swamp. He must be the chosen one. 😇😂🤣

Is this legal?

How much priceless desert water is this environment wrecker going to suck up?

Crooks..

Sounds every bit as dishonest as the gang Trump ‘chose’ to go to fix hurricane damage in PR...

Is this why he insisted to build 'the wall'? When I ask my 6 years old sun what do you know about Trump? he spontaneously says: 'We need to build a wall', mimicking Trump's face and expressions.

A fraction of what it costs to track, apprehend, process and return illegals sneeking across the border. Not mention the price that is paid to combat drug cartels and their illicit drug & human trafficking. It's money well spent.
