We marked your words, now what Mr. Genius Wall Builder
In political circles we used to hear the GOP (and DEMS too just to be fair) all rant and rave about government fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayers’ money.
Well this chapter of that story pretty much takes the cake. It's about Trump’s “fake anger” over a failed 3-mile wall near Yuma, AZ.
That story is here from The Hill (July 13):
They received $1.7
billion from DOD Army Corps of Engineers for what has resulted in a stretch of
about three miles of border fencing near a National Wildlife Refuge close
to Yuma, AZ area.
Fisher originally planned
to construct more than 30 miles of border fencing, but the
project became mired in legal battles as government attorneys warned that the
structure is endangered by recent and future erosion.
Trump blasted the
company in a Sunday morning tweet (as usual) claiming that … “… the
project was undertaken to make him look bad – and it never had his support.”
Specifically Trump tweeted: “I disagreed with doing this very small
(tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money
by Ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps (yes Trump misspelled perhaps) it now doesn’t even
work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.”
Now the truth, which Trump
hates when it comes out and contradicts him.
He inquired personally about
the company's bid for funding after seeing the CEO Tommy
Fisher appear on FOX news and other cable networks claiming
that the fencing could be completed quickly and for low cost.
Events Today: U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick who
serves in the Southern District of Texas initiated a Federal lawsuit
against Fisher taking aim at the project in a lengthy Twitter accusing the
project of not making tactical sense and calling it an expensive vanity
project, saying: “What they built is one
step beyond vapor-ware. We said it was too close to the water, erosion would be
an issue, the location made no sense, etc. Now we risk the thing falling down
in a big storm or flood.”
My 2 cents: His wall – that big beautiful wall that
the was going to build and have Mexico pay – ha – out the window along with
this this latest con. His wall and most other schemes are falling like lake
effect snow in Update NY.
This story just about takes the cake – pathetic and
disgusting to say the least – hate to be so harsh like this, but cases like
this are justified to bash.
The outrage over this man and his conning is truly
historical but will it matter in November – well, it damn sure better.
Thanks for stopping by.
