The bollards, or “slats,” as he prefers to call them, should be painted “flat black,” a dark hue that would absorb heat in the summer, making the metal too hot for climbers to scale, Trump has recently told White House aides, Homeland Security officials and military engineers....Trump has demanded Department of Homeland Security officials come to the White House on short notice to discuss wall construction and on several occasions woke former secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to discuss the project in the early morning...Trump often brought up the construction of the barrier at unrelated meetings, and aides learned to bring prep books — and even sketches — to address his questions....Trump frequently delved into the minutiae of contracts and suggested that some of his friends in New York would have ideas on how to build it faster...Approved barrier designs include a flat-panel anti-climbing surface that has been field-tested, but the president doesn’t like the way it looks either, arguing that sharp spikes would appear more intimidating.Trump told one group of aides that the metal points would cut the hands of climbers and function as a more effective deterrent.

Trump immediately brought up Fisher, a company that sued the U.S. government last month after the Army Corps did not accept its bid to install barriers along the southern border...Trump likes Fisher because he had seen him on television advocating for his version of the barrier: “He’s been very aggressive on TV,” ...grumbling to aides that the Army Corps contracting process is holding back his ambitions. At the White House meeting Thursday, he said he doesn’t like the current design for the wall’s gates, suggesting that instead of the hydraulic sliding gate design, the Army Corps should consider an alternative, according to an administration official: “Why not French doors?” the president asked.
It is crazy that it was LEAVING the USA. Like we have plenty of coke here and are exporting to EU because the dollar is strong.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
