Not only is it ugly, it sends the message that Americans are terrified of non Americans. It makes us look weak.

$$$$$$$$$$$$ deduct from trumps paycheck plz

Good job for our military serving our country

Better wrap the statue of liberty in it

Awful. America can't be America if it has borders. 😟

Thank you troops!

Damn right. MAGA2020 WheresRuth sotu

Waste of money. Waste of human power. Waste of time.

What is wrong with us? Wasted resources and time.

'Anyone have any wire cutters?'

For all u peeps that are “ appalled “ and “ upset” at this? Don’t for get you can get off your lazy collective butts and go down there and sponsor some of these people . Enjoy your apple pie

And that bothers you because?

This fabricated lie reflects the incompetent unfit actions of the office and duties of Commander-in-Chief...the inability to comprehend the immense responsibility regarding actual national security and decisions regarding US Military deployment-stunning. In a real event-chilling

Deployments? Good grief!

Looks like the Polish border in 1939... Wall didn't work then either.

Don’t they already have a wall there?

What a waste

Meanwhile..🙄

What a waste of valuable resources. This is fraud waste and abuse of our military.

looks more like trying to keep us in then keeping the poor and helpless migrants out

That looks ridiculous!

Love it!

Build The Wall.

Waste of time, money. And resources.

Soon as Trumps ass is out of office we’ll have to send them back to take it down

Who likes watching money fly away?

looks very inexpensive, for sure.

A damn shame! Our soldiers could be training, deployed to real assignments, or even with their family, YET, this draft dodger has put them on a fake assignment to appease his base, not thinking about the morale of these soldiers ! As a VET, this is embarassing to witness.

lmao they couldn't have like..hired some people to do that? oh that's right, possible immigrants would have TaKeN the jobs available. What a waste their time.

Dog and pony show 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

It looks like Berlin

Excellent. Not a moment too soon.

So, the troops are being used as day laborers?

So the barrier is getting built despite all the denials. Every day clips of portions finished or being constructed. Soon he'll announce it's done.

Fantastic News!! If the F...ing Liberal Democrats won’t do it, Trump will!!! Damn liberal Democrats!!! Don’t really care about our security!! Open Borders is the Democrats goal!! Screw that!!

This is probably more cost effective and deterrent than a wall.. If this was the pitch in the first place I think I would have gotten behind it.. No need for a wall.

Great move. Secure our borders

MSNBC star Rachel Maddow accused of deceiving viewers by glossing over Trump Jr. blocked call reports FoxNews

Why is the military involved at the border? Has there been an act of war declared by Congress? NoWall The only national emergency in this country is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC.

How disgusting to use our great troops for such a trivial project, embarrassing and surly not what they signed up for! Trump is abusing the power of the presidency using the military as his personal lackeys! DISTURBING

Build the wall....

These are Trump's invisible workers who hide their work so Americans don't see what Trump & Co is doing. We see you Trump. And Trump isn't American He's Russian & A Mobster.

This is appalling to watch

What a mess.

Free labor? Our troops deserve better

That is so ugly! Thankful I don't live anywhere near that 'war zone'! The 'Vietnam look' is BAD!

Incidentally wire clipper price went up in Mexico

Must be so excited they enlisted.

Maybe he's already secretly declared a national emergency. You know the POTUS, always discreet.

a_fly_guy Let’s see how fast that rusts and rots. NoWall ImpeachTraitorTrump

Wonderful news! Thank you for your honest reporting MSNBC. Now suppprt building the wall please.

This is a pathetic sight. How humiliating for our troops to have to participate in this.

It looks like a war zone to me?

This is why Democrats hate Trump, he's cutting into new democratic voters

Looks so stupid

That is all they can do. So he is wasting the time of the active military.

👍👍👍

Ridiculous

Pentagon Sending More Than 3,500 Additional Troops to Mexico BorderThe U.S. military plans to more than double the number of active-duty forces at the southern border, with the new figure disclosed in a letter from a congressional leader admonishing the Pentagon. Too bad. The DOD does not have to notify the House. They have to inform the Senate Defense Committee. It's up to them to notify the house. Sulk or move on. Democrats support open borders and illegal immigration. Holy balls, more than double along with a scary picture. I'm starting to suspect that I know what kind of demographic you're going for. Math stupid..and also just regular stupid.
