Trump is now describing the border wall as 'artistically designed steel slats'
You say border wall, President Trump says "artistically designed steel slats."
On Twitter Tuesday night, Trump declared that he's figured out the real problem Democrats have with funding a wall along the southern border. "The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall — but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it .... it will be beautiful and, at the same time, give our Country the security that our citizens deserve. It will go up fast and save us BILLIONS of dollars a month once completed!"
"Build the artistically designed steel slats!" sure doesn't have the same ring to it as "Build the wall!"
