President Donald Trump declared that his wall on the Southern border was officially underway, praising it as a “thing of beauty.”
“We started building our wall. I’m so proud of it. We started,” Trump said, pointing to the pictures he posted on Twitter of the new border bollard fencing currently under construction in Calexico.

Trump praised the $1.6 billion funding in the Omnibus spending bill for more bollard fencing as a “down payment” of his promised wall on the southern border, even though it specifically bars spending for structures that look like the wall prototypes in San Diego.
“You saw the pictures yesterday. I said, what a thing of beauty,” he said. “And on September 28th we go further and we’re getting that sucker built.”
