Colorado wall as Trump says US is building a wall in Colorado

Colorado wall as Trump says US is building a wall in Colorado Donald Trump made a curious claim speaking to supporters at a rally in Pittsburgh on Wednesday: that he's building a border wall in Colorado.

Geography has never been Donald Trump’s best subject. For example, the president attended a United Nations luncheon with African leaders a couple of years ago, at which he praised the health care system in Nambia. There is no such country.

"We are building a wall on the border of New Mexico, and we are building a wall in Colorado," Trump said. "We are building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works, that you can't get over, you can't get under" he continued.

There were a handful of problems with this, including the fact that Trump really isn’t making much progress when it comes to new border-barrier construction. The idea that people “can’t get over” the fences may not be altogether true, either.

Colorado's governor mocked President Donald Trump for saying he was building the US-Mexico border wall in the state, suggesting that he needed "basic geography" lessons like a kindergartner. “Well this is awkward …Colorado doesn’t border Mexico,” Polis wrote. “Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography.”

President Trump claims he was kidding when he told an audience at a shale conference in Pittsburgh on Wednesday that his administration is building a wall in Colorado. Mr. Trump made the comments while talking about border security.

In case this isn’t obvious, Trump didn’t need to say anything at all about his mistake. If pressed for an explanation, he or his team could’ve simply said he misspoke, referencing Colorado when he meant to say Arizona.

"(Kiddingly) We're building a Wall in Colorado"(then stated, "we're not building a Wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the Wall we're building on the Border") referred to people in the very packed auditorium, from Colorado & Kansas, getting the benefit of the Border Wall!" Mr. Trump wrote.

If recent history is any guide, White House officials will quietly direct the Army Corps of Engineers to issue an unsigned statement today, explaining that Trump was right about wall construction in Colorado, reality be damned.
