President Trump tweeted Wednesday touting what he characterized as "the start" of his long proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen shared Trump's tweet, clarifying, "This is just one of the wall projects @DHSgov will be constructing in the next year. This 30ft wall will help secure the area near Calexico, CA."

Officials have said the project that Trump tweeted about is not considered part of his proposed border wall and instead is part of a construction project for a 2-mile border wall in Calexico, Calif., that had already been prioritized since 2009.

“We just wanted to get out in front of it and let everybody know that this is a local tactical infrastructure project that was planned for quite some time,” David Kim, assistant chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol’s El Centro sector, told the Desert Sun last month.

1. He never, not ever, not once, NEVER tells the truth.

[dalton99a]

22. The piece of shit was born to lie

[yallerdawg]

2. Just one question.

"Who's going to pay for it?"

Suckers.

[sheshe2]

5. Well there is this...

[yallerdawg]

8. Hey, she!

This was the official Mexican position from the first day of his campaign!

A position WE all adopted before it was over!

[sheshe2]

10. Yup.

And they are standing strong as are we all.

Hey!

[gademocrat7]

3. Pathological liar.

[bearsfootball516]

4. It's one thing to twist the truth.

This is a downright lie.Taking pictures of a wall being build in Calexico that are completely unrelated to his border wall, and pretending that they're from his border wall.

6. I hate to be nitpicky, but that sure looks like a fence.

[yallerdawg]

9. "And the emperor said...

it is a Big, Beautiful Wall!"

"And Vinca said... "

[ProudLib72]

11. It's that new "see through" metal everyone's talking about!

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. It is THIS:

The assistant chief patrol agent just stepped all over Trump by saying that is section of fencing that was planned since 2009, in a construction zone...
point being, the BP guy would not even cover for Trump.

7. His rabid cult/base needed their racist fix for the week.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. There are significant cracks in the wall holding up his base, these days

You campaigned on Mexico paying for it.
Haven’t my brothers and sisters in arms paid enough?
Translated I read.. US taxpayers.. my chuck n Nancy deals are so great that You are paying for the wall, abortion, Obamacare and every leftist dream, including union bailouts.. aka infrastructure.
While I.. infringe on 2A.. keep voting for what I say and not what I do.

19. Cracks or...

fault lines, structural integrity. Terminology ( half of which 45 would have trouble understanding given his vocabulary ) that we sit here going through over and over again while that monstrosity goes up and sucks the funding out of the government coffers.

[Miigwech]

13. Mexico should agree to pay for the wall

and hire trump Org. as contractor ..... and then stiff trump for the costs, just as trump has done to many unfortunate American businesses. Some journalist should tally the total amount that trump cheated others.

14. Wait ! What ?

"Officials have said the project that Trump tweeted about is not considered part of his proposed border wall and
instead is part of a construction project for a 2-mile border wall in Calexico, Calif.,
that had already been prioritized since 2009."

[forgotmylogin]

23. Yep.

15. Could we get some aerial photos?

Because that would be cool to see some drone footage from both sides of the wall...err...fence.

[progressoid]

16. 2009? Golly, who was president in 2009?

[truthisfreedom]

17. The Obama wall begins!

Finally!

Our congresscritters need to tweet continuously about the Obama wall.

[Pluvious]

18. I'm confused, when did Donnie Two-Scoops stop undoing Obama's work ??

[SergeStorms]

20. He has to tell the cult something.

They're starting to get a little antsy. They're soooooo vulnerable.

Trump's cult demands results, so Trump has to lie. Again. Still. Yet. Come to think of it, I don't think there's a time when Trump has ever told the truth!
