A section of Trump’s precious wall blew over in high winds – 8 equally spectacular takedowns
One of Donald Trump’s key campaign promises was to build a wall along the southern US border, and – lest we forget – that Mexico would pay for it.
The “wall” has turned out to be more of a fence, Mexico isn’t paying a cent towards it, and in recent strong winds, part of it blew over.

To be clear, the section of wall had been identified as in need of strengthening, and the concrete added to its base hadn’t yet set when the winds rose. But again …it was already in need of strengthening.
Surprisingly to nobody, Twitter took the piss, and these takedowns were almost as effective as the wind.

Was a windmill nearby? Maybe the wall got cancer. https://t.co/AfGwSHF0Kf

Red D. Wright had a suggestion as to why the problem had arisen.
Trump must have hired his sons to build it
