Jake Tapper fact-checks Trump's border wall claim

[lisakennedy]

Spend the billions on something useful, effective and needed like healthcare. What an enormous waste of taxpayers money!

[NPC-error-xx]

Build the wall with the salt from these comments.

[truthmatters]

Why is he always lying ? I pray that young children will not emulate him .

Build a wall.... and bury him under it !!

[leftyjoness]

Looks like the Trumpsters took to the dislike button instead of the comments this time since they can't possibly defend Trump's compulsive lies anymore.

[Montesama]

Is this "wall" a good idea? No. But is it bad that a president just makes demands and promises he can't fulfill? Yes.

[chaz]

The less of trumps promises get achieved the better.

[AlexisMitchell]

The crazy thing is that we already know that. That's why so many of his supporters were furious he signed the omnibus bill... They're rants dominated right-wing media for weeks.

Build a real wall, around Trump. Mexico will pay for it!

[MrMJmusicLover]

This is exactly what Germany did back in the 80s guess what happened to that idea....Yeah, it caused more problems than it solved and eventually came down. Same concept here. That wall won't stand 20 years before it's taken down by either a future US president or Mexico itself. Since Mexico would be told to pay for it, then it's their property, therefore, should be reserved the right to take it down at a moments notice without an explanation as to why.

Nothing more stupid than walls in globalized world.

[SLHusky]

So cute how trumpees still believe that there will be a wall; and that Mexico will pay for it xD xD xD

[blobfatterson]

Build that Wall. Not to keep out landscapers, but rather to upset liberals.

[anthill]

Trump, here's is my fence...….Mexico here's my ladder.

[larrywhite]

Trump continues to lie and his base continue to smile and say yea .

[davidmanx]

Just give him the damned wall, we do not want to hear him crying non stop
By the way he claimed to have constructed the Billion dollar embassy in Israel for just 150K.
25 x 150K = 3.75 Million is what he needs for just this wall.
work that out with that 1.6 Billion he could build 50 of such walls around USA

CNN at 2:00 in the morning (ET). When the comment section gets *weird.* Viewer Discretion is advised.

[raisehell]

Where are those 1.6 billion dollars coming from?

[seandenny]

Love Jake's sassy voice to read the words in caps! Haha
