HOUSTON — President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that’s showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was “only done to make me look bad,” even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters.
The company that built the private section in January, North Dakota-based Fisher Industries, has sinceroughly 3-mile fence of steel posts “I disagreed with doing this very small section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads,” Trump wrote. “It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.”
Marianna Trevino Wright, executive director of the nonprofit National Butterfly Center, has long opposed the project and warned it could damage the center, which is adjacent to where the private wall was being built.
'We Build the Wall’s board includes former White House strategist Steve Bannon, Blackwater USA founder Erik Prince & Kris Kobach, the aggressively anti-immigrant former Kansas secretary of state & current Senate candidate. '
Hey TexasGOP, no good deed goes unpunished eh?
Out of $20 million they suckered from that GoFundMe scampaign they only paid out $1.5 million. Someone should look into that list of donors, btw. Kolfage set up WeBuildTheWall Dec 28, by Jan 11, the 'board' incl Erik Prince, David Clark, Steve Bannon absconded w the money.
Liberal News Propagandist 'Sell-outs' are hilarious. The erosion is not the actual wall, but the ground around the wall. Around a small stretch of privately built border wall, and will be easily fixed. Nice Try AP.
In general, what is so bad about putting up a border wall? Why do so many oppose
money that didn’t have to be spent when there’s always been an economical (and natural) barrier called the Rio Grande River. Also the desert regions offer an effective deterrent. Millions of aliens are not pouring in through areas that could potentially result in death.
This is one of the reasons why Congress didn’t approve the building of Trump’s wall. It will be too expensive to maintain. Trumpheads seem to think that a wall is just built & it takes care of itself, just set it & forget it. Nope doesn’t work that way.
Clear evidence that Trump is not (and never has been) a good businessman. He gives money before even verifying that this company can do what it claims? I should have told Trump I can build a wall for a billion & I’ll just put up some chain link fence with a squeaky gate.
See how he sells out his supporters the moment something goes wrong. Who in the world would ever want to work for him?
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 sure and a world wide pandemic exists just to hurt 45’s election potential and the economy his base is too stupid to realize has nothing to them.
IndependentPat5 He holds his supporters in contempt, but they're too in love and too naive to know it.
He doesn’t need a wall to make him look bad!

News flash realDonaldTrump NOT EVERYTHING is about you!!!
Judging by his past, building on the cheap is SOP for him.
Hopefully this nonsense will stop in January! Stop the wall!
The eroding wall is a symbol!
Yeah, they look like real gems...
AngieGr60130939 That piece of wall will not stand for 150 years. The people of this country will take it down the moment Trump is out of office.
Probably should have hired Mexicans to build the wall.... I mean if you wanted quality work.
Plus... Every time he mentions his Wall it grows 50 miles longer. 250mi earlier this week, but claiming 400 this morning... It's a race between his nose and his Wall.
Lmaoooooooooooo. Shoddy work shoddy administration
One big fallacy about Trump’s “Border” Wall 👇 It’s NOT on the border.
Poor Donald, now he knows what it's like when someone signs up to do business with the Trump Organization, getting shit product for way too much money.
See, Trump ALWAYS destroys his own supporters He hates them. They are simply a mean to an end for him.
Wow how his mind is so wrapped up in itself is truly flabbergasting
They aren’t the brightest.
circosta_j Poor thing. Everyone in the WORLD is out to get him. EVERYONE wants to make him look bad!! Damn, does he ever admit he’s wrong? Sorry, stupid question.
steveconnieWood What an idiot
Like Trump needs to worry about anyone making him look bad: Trump airlines, Trump beverages, trump casinos, Trump steaks, Trump vodka, Trump airline, Trump mortgage company, Trump charity, Trump magazine, Trump ice, Trump the Game, Trump Network....
So now he is even attacking his base!! No loyalty in this man!! Are you listening, Trumpers! He will throw you under the bus in a second!!!TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER
Him and his administration gave the company the job. Now he's complaining it wanted to make him look bad. That's why you put a bid out and award agency that can do the job not your friend, acquaintance or friend of a friend.
Erosion should be trump's middle name.
Believe me trump, you look bad all on your own.
Mary Trump, you're so right!
Instant Karma.
It’s always all about him. What a sorry excuse for a man.....
that's not the only thing that makes him look bad. He only has to open his mouth and speak ...
Wow, not sure who to root for here. Who is worse, the sociopath-in-chief or the inbred, racist morons who worship him?
The story as a whole helps me understand Trump has a valid point & it takes away nothing about a need for a wall but more about the design. Trump knows MSM will use this wall that already showing flaws against Trump's wall hence hurting the cause in general. Get it.
This is like hitler in the bunker. Everyone is against me
Whoa accountability...
No one has to make you look bad. You do a great job of it yourself
This is one of those 'see! look how vapid and consistently stupid he is!' moments that his supporters will ignore and the rest of us will forget about the next time he tweets about school or something. Funny though.
Everything everywhere always without fail revolves around Chump
trump owns all recent walls on the border regardless how it makes him look, any erosion is a analogy/reflection of what has happened to our democracy under this administration
WEAR A MASK IF YOUR VOTING FOR realDonaldTrump
He literally makes everything about him.
He’s so selfish and shameless even hurting those who support him and strive to assist him
Everything is always about him. What a narcissist.
Beautiful Neowise!
Border wall bad idea! Against Christianity! Jesus never excluded anyone bc of their nationality, race, language so on! Read your Bible! The Gospels! Gospels Christianity! Not King David & his sex drive! That is Judaism! Read Matthew 25! You not heeding Jesus! Heeding Satan!
I agree: The Mexicans that built it with Mexican pesos did it to make you look bad POTUS 😂
No, Mr. President, you did that all by yourself.
The paper wall built by protesters around the White House is lasting longer than a Trump supported wall being built between Texas and Mexico. There are erosion problems at Trump's wall and also in his polling.
Actual video of him complaining
Look how quickly he throws his own supporters under the bus. How dare you make him look bad!!!!!
😂😂😂, try harder,Tr*mpers. Your leader is not happy.
🤣🤣
Turns out that Trump's base is really anti-Trump. Who would have guessed? Maybe they elected Trump to make him look bad too? I mean, what better way to humiliate Trump than to make him POTUS so that the entire world can see how incompetent and corrupt he is?
