SAN DIEGO, California — The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.”
In a statement last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency overseeing border barrier construction, confirmed that all the fencing completed since Trump took office is "in place of dilapidated designs" because the existing fence was in need of replacement.
The agency said that it had built 51 miles of steel bollard fence with funding that was set aside during fiscal 2017 and 2018. But while the funding was meant both to replace outdated walls and to place barriers where there previously had been none, the government has only completed the replacement projects. The projects to secure areas with no fence are still in the works.

Well, this doesn't come as a surprise. Not only did Mexico not pay, but there is also no wall at all.

An epic fail on that campaign promise, I must say.
Winning; tRump style. :2rofll:

If there is no wall then why would Mexico pay anything?

You do realize that the only people actually crying about this are your own, right?
They way you're covering this thread it looks to me like you're the one that's hissied.
Not really hissied, I think he's been a total failure and can't wait to vote against him. So if you count that a "hissy", color me hissied; and if that's a win for Don Vito tRump … it's his only one.
Well, apparently the plan was for Mexico to finance the wall. Since Mexico has yet to pony up, there isn't any money to pay for Trumpy's beautiful, impregnable, sold concrete with rebar, 30-foot sea-to-sea barrier. Trumpy has tried getting American tax payers to foot the bill with the promise that he would make Mexico pay us back, but this proposal seems to have fallen a bit flat. He has tried changing the wall into a tasteful metal fence that would cost less, but people aren't buying that either. He has tried to claim that improvements to existing barriers and short stretches of prototype fence are just as good as a great beautiful concrete wall stretching from sea-to-sea but that has resulted in no enthusiasm. And this is just a summary. You really needed to be here.
Sorry pallie; you're mistaking crying for laughing our asses off.

No, I was running with it.You missed my sarcasm...
No, I was running with it.

By talking calmly, rationally and with an objective mind-set?
tRump and Don Vito tRump.... he's got you hissied just by the usage of those terms alone.
Like I said color me hissied if that gives you pleasure.
But look in the mirror your need to defend this obvious presidential failure seems a bit hissied to me.
No, laughing would be fine. But this is actually distinguishable as crying.
I had to sit though enough of this crap from right wing voters when Obama kept failing with his promises and I can already tell that the lot of you are just doing the same, but in your own rotation.
The lot of you could try and grow the hell up at this point. Hell, I expected this from calamity and the others. But most definitely not you. Trump has actually been doing work for the wall, like Obama tried with universal healthcare. Yet politicking and continued bickering between parties got in the way.
I don't hold it against him. Another president failed a campaign promise, so what?
The lot of you just need to walk on and at least attempt to be the bigger person for once.

What has he failed at?
