It will be “a beautiful wall, a big one that really works,” president says

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration is building a wall in Colorado, an apparent misstatement that was immediately met with jeers online.
“Do you know why we’re going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border, and they didn’t have it. And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico and we’re building a wall in Colorado,” the president said, drawing cheers from an oil and gas conference crowd.
“We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works, that you can’t get over, you can’t get under,” Trump added, as the crowd rose to its feet in support. “And we’re building a wall in Texas. And we’re not building a wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned.”
The remark came about 40 minutes into a speech to an annual shale conference in Pittsburgh, during which the president spoke about a wide range of topics.
