He actually called it fake news, but in more words.

He used that word. He referred to himself as edgy.

Lol. So they are using a drunk cop's rant as justification for this Sweden thing. A+ reporting there, Fox.

Most of this land is now private property—especially in Texas, where the U.S. government owns only 100 miles of the 1,254-mile border. To acquire the rest of the land it would need, Washington would need to employ eminent domain, the authority under the Fifth Amendment to seize private property for public use upon payment of “just compensation.”

Recent history shows that’s easier said than done. In 2006 Congress passed the Secure Fence Act with strong bipartisan backing, including the support of New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, now Senate minority leader. The law authorized construction of a border fence along 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, including 100 miles in Texas. Lawmakers expected swift completion of the project.

Instead, a decade later, there are unfenced gaps—because the fence had to have holes to accommodate local ranchers whose cattle graze on the southern side, but also due to property owners’ fighting land seizures in federal court.

That's exactly as alarming as if he'd pulled it from a fucking fever dream. A president who affects international relations based on a clip he saw on tv...without seeing the whole documentary, without reading anything or checking with his massive intelligence network....that's insane. It's beyond. If you'd made a dramatic, serious film two years ago about an America trying to navigate a president who does that, people would have said it was too over-the-too absurd to be plausible.

Alas, there is no truth. only popular opinion.
