President Trump on 450 Miles of Wall: ‘I Kept My Promises’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "But unlike those who came before me, I kept my promises. And today we celebrate an extraordinary milestone. The completion of the promised 450 miles of border wall. 450 miles. Nobody realizes how big that is.

(Applause)

I remember when I first came down about a year and a half ago, were under construction, and I started walking, and I’m looking at the wall and I’m walking and walking, and I’m used to, like, a development project where you could walk a wall. You know, 10 acres, five acres, two acres, one acre. Then I realized, that’s a long time. That’s a big walk. A lot of it, a lot of the wall you have is incredibly natural. It’s — you have the mountains. You have the rivers. You have some very powerful water areas. You have some areas that are virtually impossible to get by. So we didn’t need walls everywhere, but where we needed them, because it’s been so successful that we’ve added nearly 300 miles, and that’s currently under construction.”
