Now you're blaming Trump for cement not setting fast enough?

These deranged Democrats and their supporters will throw anything they can find or just invent to criticize Trump.

No President has endured the nonstop investigations - looking for some evidence of corruption. Got to be the cleanest President - ever!

The art dealer Robert Miller owned a gallery across from the Bonwit Teller Building which was demolished to build Trump Tower. With a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art it was agreed that the Art Deco limestone bas-relief sculptures of semi-nude goddesses on the Bonwit Teller Building's facade, as well as the massive ornate 15 by 25 feet (4.6 by 7.6 m) grille above the store's entrance, would be removed and donated to the Metropolitan Museum. Miller had appraised the sculptures at between $200,000 and $250,000. They were set to be transported to a junkyard and destroyed because, according to Trump, there were general hazard concerns, expense, and a possible 10-day construction delay due to the difficulty of removing them. Trump later acknowledged he had personally ordered the destruction of the sculptures and grille.The New York Times condemned Trump's actions as "esthetic vandalism," and a spokesman for Mayor Ed Koch said Trump had failed his "moral responsibility to consider the interests of the people of the city." However, Trump later said he used the notoriety of that act to advertise more residential units in the tower.

Lol

Everything he touches fails.

Incorrect
It is the symbolic representation that matters

Trump has put it in the minds of the American public
Trump has put in the the minds of real America that he would like to build a wall

That secures the votes

If the wall doesn't get build the unthinking masses won't take it out on trump
They will take it out on the democrats who opposed his construction

Trump has again constructed a win-win

If I was trump I would tweet something today along the lines of
I'm going to cure coronavirus
It's all about creating that positive vibe
It's aspirational

Trump the entertainer
Trump the guy who sleeps with strippers
Trump the guy who dominates China
Trump for guy who dominates the EU
Trump the guy that makes the Dow go through the roof

When the unthinking masses look at the democrats
They see a bunch of sheep standing on stage
Looking butt hurt startled frustrated and directionless.

Hopefully trump announces that he is going to cure coronavirus sometime today
I think it will be a smart move

Even funnier than the fact that Trump can't even hire decent contractors (something to do with nobody wanting to work for him because he doesn't pay his bills), is knowing that the section of wall that fell over isn't even a new section.

They were just replacing the structure that had been there for years.

As of today, not one single inch of new wall has been constructed.

And, the existing parts that are being replaced as part of routine maintenance are now falling over.

Trump still has the Sadim Touch Grin

Kim John Un and Donald John Trump are the greatest nuclear missile biomedical genius ever. Ever. Mexico pays for the Tower Wall and all crimes, buys back all cocaine and closes all its factories. China pays for all corona costs. Democrats pay all Trump's legal bills, refunds Ukraine aid and Trump taxes . Congress is replaced by Washington Tower, starting January 2021.

What a (not) surprise...

Its the way of all things when slapped up on the whim of a grossly incompetent fool.

Like going on a shark hunt in shark-infested waters after a single attack... Next step?... Arrest the sharks and interview them all to find the culprit...

Next step for the wall? Have border-enforcement officers placed at intervals along the border calling out "tiddle-lock" to the Mexicans so they know the border's locked.

Yes, but Mr Trump changed his mind about a big beautiful wall along "the entire southern border - coast to coast - and not just a fence either, a vast concrete wall 30 feet high that goes underground so they can't go underneath - one that the astronauts can see from space."

Mr Trump now says he never meant that at all. He never meant an actual wall, he just wants to replace the fencing that was getting a bit old.

That's working out well for him.

Then Trump fails at everything other than promoting Trump.

In what way is trump failing
He announces his intention to build the wall and millions of real Americans vote for him
It doesn't get built and he doesn't lose one of those voters

So he just caught himself a couple of million votes whilst not spending a cent
A genius and inspired strategy
