Trump once again (proudly it seems) shows his ignorance in regards to geography - or maybe he was thinking of some other place and San Antonio popped out of his mouth before his cognitive processes could function properly - who knows anymore.

Trump Touts Border Wall In San Antonio, Which Has No Wall And Isn’t On The Border

“Everybody knows that walls work. You look at different places, they put up a wall, no problem,” Trump said outside the White House. “You look at San Antonio, you look at so many different places, they go from one of the most unsafe cities in the country to one of the safest cities, immediately, immediately.”

Part of San Antonio is in the district represented by Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd, who opposes Trump’s wall as expensive, ineffective and damaging to private property and the environment. His district includes 820 miles of the border. In an interview this week with Rolling Stone, he called Trump’s characterization of a “crisis” at the border a “myth.”

All nine representatives who represent border areas in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California oppose the wall, but Hurd is the only Republican. Only two senators in all of those states — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) — support the wall.

If trump says san antonio has a wall, it has a wall. If trump says most americans support the wall around san antonio, most americans support it. If all those people in congress who represent these border communities and say there is no need for a wall and there is no crisis....see trump says.

Hopefully he can save face when he goes to check on the progress of the wall segment in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension?

Trump claimed that the San Antonio wall had reduced crimes in the city -- in other words, he was talking about a pre-existing wall.

And remember folks, while it’s the usual Trump just saying stupid stuff, as usual.

Many who would dismiss this are still those that hold Obama’s 57 states gaff against him.

Obviously you do, since you can't comprehend what the president said.

Just like the cute internet lady poster who wanted to go in long walks on the beach in Grand Island, Nebraska.
You would think she and Trump would at least look at a map first.
