Trump Claims 20 World Class Climbers Tested his Wall – World Class Climbers: “Huh?”
During Trump’s silly visit to his wall south of San Diego last week (the one where he tried to reveal secret sensing built into the wall), he made the remarkable claim that 20 world class mountain climbers tried and couldn’t climb it. The claim was bullshit, of course, like the virtually all of his claims. The press immediately tried to confirm Trump’s claim by…wait for it…talking to world class climbers. Said climbers said they had no knowledge of any climbers participating in any test of Trump’s wall, and even added that would help even if asked. They also gave the parting shot that the wall could be easily scaled.
LOL.
Perhaps the scariest part about his presidency* is that he has lied so much about everything that, should the time come when he actually needs to impart some important information, nobody is going to believe him. I guess him momma never read the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to him.
1One wonders why the media reports any claim by Trump without independent verification.
2But did Trump test the wall against Home Depot shoppers? I was in the ladder department the other day and they have a few models that go higher than I care to climb. Quick assemble scaffolding too.
3Those climbers should make a video to show them scaling that wall. It would go viral.
4Sadly typical of Trump. He will say anything, including easily-checked, blatantly untrue garbage, if it makes him feel good or look important in the moment. He has done that sort of thing all his life, and he doesn’t see that the Presidency is different–what he says matters now, because people are listening, planning, and counting on the truth of what he says. Other presidents have, occasionally, lied, shaded the truth, and/or withheld information, of course–but not every day, all the time, until no one could trust a word they said. No wonder this country is such a mess.
5You didn’t really credit the claim, did you?
6Thermite is shockingly easy to manufacture.
Also, tunnels.
Just sayin’
But the truth is that most undocumented US residents come in legally, and then overstay their visa, something which Wall does not address at all.
7Couldn’t even stop a Mexican politician.

OK – Let’s raise money and post a challenge to VETERANS. Sometime during this time frame if you can scale the wall (needs to be recorded) and sit on top you get a certain amount of money. If you can get groups to scale we give a “growing” pool of money.
You can’t get caught within 500 feet of the wall.
Sure – arrest a Veteran – what’s the misdemeanor ticket cost?
9I’ll bet that a fit guy with some good boots, a strong arm, and a rope with a grappling hook could be up and over in less than a minute.
And of course, there are the photos of a bunch of Mexican guys just perched up there, like birds on a power line.
Next move; electrify it, with a big, belching, coal-fired plant to supply the power.
10Sharon@9–only if the veterans are not hispanic, because if they are, the dotard will have them deported. Probably even if they’re citizens, under his thinking of act now/think later.
11FTT: Tяump says the wall is impossible to climb, even by the worlds greatest mountain climbers.
Mexicans come out immediately to take selfies climbing and sitting atop the unclimbable wall.

12Perhaps the “world-class” climbers he was referring to were the cockroaches that infested the kitchens in his “world-class” tRump National Doral Resort. Or perhaps it was the “world-class” bed bugs that infested guest rooms there. Y’all know he only has the best insects.

17The fact that the press believes a word he says is a problem. We should all assume that everything is a lie unless proven true!
