    That's what I don't understand. Why did Trump build a wall that people can walk right in through?

    I am serious. Trump's wall has fallen over in areas and people can just walk through and it is constantly breached in others

    No, the sections where the wall fell down. There are areas where the wind blew over such a strong wall

    The American taxpayers paid for that wall material, and he has no right to sell it.

    The real question is whether the new contracts for the construction of the wall be awarded to contractors most capable of constructing the wall at the lowest cost to the taxpayers or whether as was the case in the first Trump Administration contracts will be awarded to contractors with closest connections to Trump regardless of cost or competence. The reason for the failures the first time was most likely political favoritism taking precedence over competence and it's likely to happen again.
    The first time Trump constructed his wall.

    Agreed. Because the money from the sale goes into his own personal pocket. Not a government account, or back to the taxpayers. It's infuriating.

    Because what Trump built before was crap and it's falling apart.

    Seems like they could sell billboard space on this wall and make some money
