Congress gave Trump $1.57 billion for a wall. Which built 1.7 miles of fence

He did get a very nice plaque, however.

Congress appropriated $1.57 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to build Donald Trump's wall last year. That built 1.7 miles worth of fence, according to the updates Congress has gotten from the administration. That's according to documents filed in a challenge from 20 state attorneys general and the Sierra Club to block Trump's emergency declaration to use money not appropriated by Congress for that purpose to build it.

That's going to be news to the bloated orange one, who claimed just this week that "The wall is being built as we speak. We'll have almost 500 miles of wall by the end of next year." At roughly $1 billion per linear mile, it's safe to say that's not going to be happening.

Trump's not going to let the "Haters," or reality, stop his fantasy life, however. Not when he still has Twitter. "Much of the Wall being built at the Southern Border is a complete demolition and rebuilding of old and worthless barriers with a brand new Wall and footings. Problem is, the Haters say that is not a new Wall, but rather a renovation. Wrong, and we must build where most needed…." he spluttered Wednesday morning. "Also, tremendous work is being done on pure renovation—fixing existing Walls that are in bad condition and ineffective, and bringing them to a very high standard!" he insisted in the follow-up tweet.

So, to sum up, Trump is still telling his gullible followers that he is building the wall. Also he's not building the wall. Also, Mexico still isn't paying for it.
