What happened to Trump’s border wall? The wall is no longer Trump’s central idea, it never really slowed migration, it continues to put lives at risk, cost billions, and harm the environment. Why didn’t we hear more about that from the media during the campaign?
Good question. Even though we all know the answer it's legacy Media propaganda because of their greed. And for both of those things they should be absolutely put out of business and those that own it should face criminal charges. But we got to take back our constitution first and our country
Pssst: the “media” is in on it. Pass it on.
media failed. they were paid off. this is why I miss the good ol' investigative reporting. 🔎
There never was a wall. There was a fence they called a wall and they gaslighted all of the world. It still amazes me that people do not know the difference between a wall and fence.
The concept of a wall
You know why.
because the mainstream media is selling ad space.
Trump says he is going to mass deport people. He doesn't say anything about how he is actually going to keep them from coming back.
Because your expectations of the "media" is too high.
He didn’t really ever care about a wall. It was just a rally cry. He floods the zone with enough BS and they believe. Drain the swamp. Build the wall. He just ran to save his ass. Now he could care less what happens.
It can be repurposed for building material when this is all over.
This is what happens when you have a grifter in charge.
Because it was apparently swinging to the right wing to try to even out the odds but swung was too far
Trump promised to build a big, powerful wall that Mexico would pay for, but then got away with blaming another administration for ‘open borders.’ Weird.
Sounds like something DOGE should look into!! Cost-cutting you know?!!
trump is an attention-whore, full stop.
What would be the point if that? Trump would have just blamed “the Dems” for pulling it down. I think the better approach would have been to focus on and lock him up for the crimes he committed against the people of America.
The media has been sold to the highest oligarch bid. We need to stop asking the "media" to save us... they are actually out to destroy us now, in the name of power and profits.
The media is not on the people’s side. It is on the side of their owners. And the owners support whatever pays them the most.
Or rather, their owners support whomever could put them in jail.
No curiosity. No memory. Incompetence.
We're also talking about a project that would never be finished during his presidency, much less his lifetime, and is being made in the cheapest way imaginable. It was never a long term solution to the problem lol
Well he’s gonna have his MAGA Gestapo conduct mass deportations. Internment camps take less fencing.
He's never cared about anything other than chaos.
We don’t hear about because he’s going with Abbott’s idea for razor wire (sarcasm) 🤬
Because lame stream media is too scared. That’s why I quit watching 8 years ago. They helped him the first time, now other rich fvk overlords are snowflakes cuz I guess they’re about out of money & scared of orange turd Nazi taking their last billion.
I’ll take a guess.Because Donald has stopped talking about the wall and it wasn’t an issue.
Because the media wanted Trump to win. The biased stories, normalization of abnormal behavior and allowing lies to go unchecked.
You know the answer to that. MSM is owned by billionaire right wing oligarchs. The longer all of you continue to dance around that they are lying to everyone, the faster we will be owned by them completely.
Who needs a wall when you can build a camp?
Don’t you know Ghoulish Goebbel Stephen Miller is salivating at the mouth, thinking about torturing immigrants in those camps, before deporting them. We all remember yanking those babies away from their mothers.. wicked guy…💀
Kinda remind me of Christopher Lee in Star War.
There is no joy in those eyes.
There is no life in those eyes. Or skull.
Wow! He is pee wee’s twin. I never noticed that. Just with less like ability and talent.
An idiots waste of other peoples money
Made in China, perhaps?
Why didn’t we hear about all the great historic legislation passed by the Biden Administration and all the great things it would do for us, instead of hearing about how old he was. That reason.
The wall was a simple idea to distract simple people.
Waste of money from day 1. A 5 year old could have told him it wasn't going to work.
for the same reasons the media normalized Trump and came down on Democrats
Excellent common sense points but unfortunately common sense is often very rare.
Reading about the US politics as a South African is always funny especially when it comes to the d*mb things Trump does. Our government s*cks here and they blatantly steal our money yet I'd choose 100 Rhamaphosas over 1 Trump.
Because the MSM sucks. Turn them off, we did years ago
Idk but #VoteAgainstTrumpsWishes #VA97 secure.actblue.com/donate/micha...
Walls are useless when the enemy is within. Now apparently he needs to weaponize the Department of Justice and FBI to help him dismantle democracy.
I assume your question is of a rhetorical nature, however it provided a clear view of who the corporate media preferred?
It was a kickback scheme from the beginning
Repost this on Twittler with the praise of his creating many jobs cleaning up the environment from it and spending all that money to pay people for its upkeep.
What’s Twitter 🤔
Guess Bannon milked the suckers dry on that one.
"the media" didn't care - but mainly the media avoided saying anything negative about tRump b/c they preferred to focus on saying Biden should stop running - then it was too late
Just a little FYI for everyone. For me personally, we don't need a wall. This ☝🏼 wall is absurd to begin with. It's easily climbed over, due to how it's built. People can slip through the bars. I've seen several videos of people doing all of these things.
They f’n wanted him to steal the election
How much did Mexico end up paying towards it?
I think if we crunch the numbers and round off……about zero😂
Because “Biden sounded like an old man for 90 minutes at the debate”…and that was all we heard about
Remember when there were “holes” in the wall, but they forgot soon they were flood gates to make sure that flood water wouldn’t knock it over? It’s all selective information with them. 🙄
There is someone on his team (I doubt it is him) that is great at marketing. But they all SUCK at follow through. I am hoping that will continue with some of their ill conceived, radial and dangerous ideas.
If I were Mexico, I would pay to build a wall to keep the majority of Americans out, I mean they don't need Measles or the Flu or Covid starting to run riot, it'll probably take them about 10 months
That would have been the campaign ad I’d have running continuously. FFS
He has such a short attention span, he's only fixated on ideas for a day or two and then he's off on something else. It's a vicious cycle that exhausts everyone chasing after his lies. The media just sanewashes his ideas for 24 hours, then has to start on the next set of lies. Just an endless loop.
Just like all of Trump's business's. Nothing but grifts used to sucker people while he fills his pockets.
Does that mean we have to give Mexico a refund?
They have to present it at news, they can't just go "hey, remember that bad thing Trump did?"
The media is a waste of energy on all fronts.
It’s too late now.
The scandal here is the $400mil contract that was awarded. apnews.com/article/f1aa...
It is still being built in south Texas. Live in Hidalgo County near the border and the metal walls are in an area waiting to be put up. Lots of trucks and Border Patrol in the area and land destructed.
Joe Biden is a lying dog-faced pony soldier
Trump is so full of shyt his hair should be bright green
Media? LOL.
No Edward R. Murrows anywhere in the MTM.
Because they repaired more than they built and Mexico never payed nor were they ever going to pay for it.. All the people who believed what he said then aren’t going to care or believe anyone anyway.
Because MSM is nothing but a flock of spineless, feckless fools.
Because the Dems campaign didn't push it effectively? Can't always pass the blame to the meeja
The border wall was a scam. It was said felon was given a Trillion dollars to Build the “wall”corporate media, TV channels, propaganda channels refused to report on it. The Bannon is in Prison. Will the media investigate why. No the media will not. MSNBC NBC CBS ABC CNN NYPOST WASHINGTON POST.👴🏻🐍🗑️🗑️🗑️
The better question to ask is… where does the Republican Party go from here? They forgot about the wall already. Now they are at “create concentration camps to deport them”. We went from keep them out to round them up. What’s the next escalation?
Two things that sell, sex and horror
Who paid for it again?
Why didn’t we hear about tRump selling US secrets, tRump being a pedophile, tRump being a blatant racist, tRump killing hundreds or thousands of Americans with Covid lies, tRump being a racist, ….you get the point… from the media? Fuck the media. They are complicit in all of this.
👍🤜✌️
Not only did the media fail us. Fox entertainment shivved us. How do we get that crap out of the lobbies of businesses?
Again, who owns the media. There is your answer.
They didn’t mention a lot of facts and truths—just focused on normalizing outright lies. I hope they all go the way of freaking covered wagons.
There's a song by Edwin Starr about the wall: 🎶 (Wall) h'uh Yeah! (What is it good for?) Absolutely (nothin') 😁
Greg Abbott is still building it on the Texas border 😡
that's what happens when you stiff the subcontracter
Trumps wall was and always has been just another Trump con for the ill informed gullible racist MAGA base
We should interpret his failure to build the wall as a forecast for his next term.
Precisely correct. It's going to be a series of monumental disasters that cost billions and only line the pockets of a few billionaires.
The media answers only to stockholders. They ceased being the Fourth Estate when they became 24/7 profit centers. That last sentence is false, of course. It's not possible to do that job anymore... the one I highlighted in blue:
The Trump administration built 47 miles of new primary wall. Considering Trump forced the longest U.S. government shutdown in history for his wall, it's hard for anyone to reasonably justify that government shutdown. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
Hmmmm has he ever admitted that the wall was not such a good idea after all? Or at least admit that it never got built? Not bloody likely..
He actually took credit for building the greatest wall we've ever seen. I mean that literally.
The emperor's new wall...
We can't count on the media. Plz understand this. They do not care about fairness, about justice, about equality; they do not care. We care, each of us letting each other know what's going on in their area of the country & what's happening to the country as a whole. We can't count on MSM anymore.🦋🇺🇸

The media loves Trump and loves the ratings he gives them. Talking about him is a lot easier and cheaper than real journalism. Turn on any news channel and this is what you will hear “blah blah blah Trump blah blah blah Trump blah blah Trump” it’s been like that for a decade.
Kamala Harris’s 2018 book “The Truths We Hold” has a great chapter on this. Border wall is not the answer.
Because the media are terrible at their jobs.
The legacy MSM is just obeying in advance. Unfair to VP Harris and the President Biden. They let Dump have pass after pass
Waste of taxpayers’ dollars
Just like with Space Force, Trump wanted something to stamp his name too. There was no need. All he did was put a fence along the same fence line that previous administration has put up. It took away money the Pentagon had earmarked for infrastructure improvements at bases around the world.
Actually a lot of land and habitat was destroyed on the AZ border.
Trumps contractor didn't know how to build it. Consequently, part slid into the Rio Grand. Typical Trump project.
Fuck the media. They will be of no help ever again.
JOKE on US
Rhetorical question right??
People don’t realize that had the wall been completed we would have been trapped like a mouse in a corner. The first thing a dictator wants is a population that can’t get away. The 2nd is instilling fear and the 3rd is domination over the country
Because our media is no longer about journalism.
Monsoon: nice flood gates lol good luck with that
But he still wants to build it even if it is billions of pieces of legos.
Maybe Mexico tariffs will pay for it 😂
The media is now propaganda.
They could have done better. Way Better
Because the media is kind of useless? I know there are great reporters out there. But the general programming on corporate media wouldn't tell this story, because it is too left leaning. Truth be damned. Balance is a false god.
Yip shows how ridiculous Trump was as President the first time yet they still voted him in again. FFS😵💫🥺😫
The media is nothing more than an engine for profit not information that is honest and bipartisan.
Like the wall, everything felon tRump touches goes to sh!t. Need further proof??? 👇😷
He just wanted a physical symbol of his presidency after he's gone with his name on it.
“The Media” wanted Trump to win, so they sanewashed his rally speeches and lied to us about his accomplishments, ie lack of.
It looks like his cabinet
This idea will be back. trump is an expert in the construction grift game. It was always a way for him to make money. With so few guard rails in place we are going to spend billions to get millions worth of wall.
We are losing the communications war because we are relying on main stream media to make our case. Not gonna happen. Only normalizes Trump and the far right.
His angry sheep were instructed to be enraged about NEW nonsensical things, like trans kids and pricey eggs.
He moved on
Because he stole the money.
Bc Dems can’t message for shit! We keep mistakenly think facts and the high road are gonna overcome the GOP’s misinformation and immorality.
I feel he’s going to initiate his tariffs, knowing they’re unnecessary. When things are getting unbearable for us, he will declare the borders are now safe, lift the tariffs, and MAGAs will think he’s a genius and the that the suffering was worth it.
Well said!
You're thinking this through. That's a very VERY good assumption, based on his modus.
Thanks.
The media was complicit.
Because he’s moved on to other more “high-profile”issues. #ShinyObjects
Because he realized that the wall itself didn’t do anything for him. It was the dog whistle in the wall story. And in the Haitian story. And in the unsubstantiated attacks on specific school children. And in the jokes at the MSG Nazi rally. And the crazier the story the more repeated it was.
It was hard from them to talk with Trump's ass on their collective lips.
MSM is owned & operated by conservatives. Here’s a suggestion, how’s bout Democrats get their own media going⁉️‼️💯🦾🙏
TexASS is building walls and they ain't using trump’s ignorant style because it is worthless
Because Kamala laughed too much
It falls apart can be scaled with a ladder and extorted millions from his cult which is why Bannin will go back to prison for fraud
Media is either being told to what to say and/or manipulated to chase after specific stories like a pavlovian dog hearing squirrel. Owners/editors appear to no longer care enough to prioritize stories by importance; just by engagement potential.
Because the media loves being played by Trump's latest shiny object.
Because MSM is gutless CTA
Oh they can tell people everyday... hair on fire stories until they literally lose their punch. They are too stupid anyway, to make better choices. They're about to get railed up the 🫏. Good for them.
Yet they bow to the Orange one 😱
Mexico is going to pay for it. Lol
Because the media has been compromised. 🤷🏻♂️
And Donnie STOLE money from the military to erect that waste of time too. And he handed that money to 3 criminals.
Good question.
Because the media has failed in their duty & sanewashed an incoming fascist regime. "Some legacy media organizations seem almost anxious to abdicate their Fourth Estate responsibilities" www.nybooks.com/online/2024/...
Bigger question….WHY DID BANNON’s CASE ABOUT HIS STEALING 3M$ FROM THAT VERY ‘PROJECT’ GO AWAY?? Seriously????
Because this administration won't be about building anything, just tearing things apart... 🤷♂️
Gotta wonder if the contractors booked many stays at a Trump hotel.
Because he’s a lying sack of shit✔️
Ooh, they put doors in... 🤣🤣
Good question!
Because the media is the problem.
Oh... but the injustice of Hunter's pardon...
Lies of omission.
I fear the media is afraid to tell the truth about the dictator for fear of retribution.
The media is just greedy. Its business model was sliding into extinction because of technology and they needed a new source of constant clickbait headlines. Trump provides the constant chaos they are eager to cash in on
The there’s Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who tweets out pix of the construction of the same section of wall, claiming Texas is building it
And why doesn't he ever visit the border anymore?
Cause media was always going for trump
Biden continued building the wall. It's no longer Trump's wall. He just thought of it.
And the dogs.. no one is eating the dogs anymore?
A childish solution to an adult problem..all he's ever had is dumb ideas that are self defeating.
Because that was to see how far he will go to steal money
It wasn't about immigration. It was about getting contracts and government funds to his associates while collecting the votes of ignorant racists. The labor camps won't be about deportations either. They're about getting government funds and free labor to his private prison pals
It's always about the grift.
I think the mentality now is just shoot them as they come across.
But why was immigration so much lower under Trump?
because the media was threatened and bribed not to mention anything about Trumps wall.
It’s hard to imagine it doing much when it can be taken down with basic tools from your local hardware store.
Literally a ladder or a shovel is enough to get around it. And most immigration is done by plane or boat so
Very true. It’s been a complete waste.
Or can be scaled by teenage girls in less than 20 seconds.
