Donald Trump Tweets: Walls Are All The Rage

The morning after President Donald Trump’s chief adviser Ann Coulter told HBO’s Vice News that the border wall building/government shutdown is an act of “self preservation because he is dead in the water if he doesn’t build that wall. Dead, dead, dead,” Trump snapped to, with vigorous wall-tweeting:

“There are now 77 major or significant Walls built around the world, with 45 countries planning or building Walls. Over 800 miles of Walls have been built in Europe since only 2015. They have all been recognized as close to 100% successful. Stop the crime at our Southern Border!”

Trump’s tweets followed a WhIte House announcement that its economists have doubled their estimated impact of the shutdown on the nation’s economic growth.
