Trump announces that we're building a wall in Colorado

President Trump claims we're building a wall in Colorado, governor suggests Trump "learn basic geography" in kindergarten

In the clip of a speech given at a Pittsburgh energy conference posted by The Hill, President Trump said, "You know why we're going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border. And they didn't have it. And we're building a wall on the border of New Mexico. And we're building a wall in Colorado. We're building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works—you can't get over it, you can't get under. And we're building a wall in Texas. And we're not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefits of the walls that we just mentioned. And Louisiana's incredible."

Of the states mentioned in the speech, only New Mexico and Texas share a border with Mexico. Colorado is landlocked and hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Mexican border, as is Kansas.

Actually, Colorado is only 350 miles from the Mexican border, not "hundreds of thousands of miles away." Kansas is about 450 miles away.

The governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, replied on Facebook and Twitter to President Trump's statement by saying, "Well this is awkward...Colorado doesn't border Mexico. Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography."

Well, at least he didn't say anything about Alabama this time.

I rated this informative but it's funny and sad at the same time that we've got such a creature in the White House. It's even sadder as I'll bet that this example of ignorance/insanity/loss of mental acuity does not even bother his minions. Or maybe some will now believe it because he said it?

Perhaps by "Colorado", President Trump meant the lower Colorado River basin, which is near Mexico.

And the Trump apologists begin: ....

Colorado! Great state! Fantastic state! Tremendous state!

Lovely borders! Such wonderful borders... you would not believe!

Its time to make Colorado the border again! We don’t want hispanics. Lets just send Texas and new Mexico back to where they came from, ok?

They’re all dems! Its rigged! Its so rigged! They’ve got illegals lining up to vote! It stretches for miles! You can see it from space! Just like our wall! Our beautiful wall! Thats why we need the space force! To see our beautiful wall!

We have to get rid of Texas! And new Mexico is the same as Old Mexico! New Mexico is fake news! Its all Mexico. They’re all rapists! They just think they can sneak in and change the name and no-one will notice! Did you know that? Not every body does! Its crazy! And Mexico can pay for it!

Thank you! Thank you very much! You’ve been a wonderful audience...


Make....it....stop....America...please! :eek:

That's a pretty reasonable lament.
But how does he mistake himself for a Muslim?...that's an odd error.

I would like America selling parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to Mexico. The money from the sale of this crime infested land could indeed be used to secure our nation's reformed borders and pay down America's national debt in order to improve the economic demographics in favor of our reformed nation.

Here's some from Ronald Reagan:

Gerald Ford was a communist.
He said later he meant to say ‘Congressman’.

You know, your nose looks just like Danny Thomas’s.
to the Lebanese Foreign Minister

Human beings are not animals, and I do not want to see sex and sexual differences treated as casually and amorraly as dogs and other beasts treat them. I believe this could happen under the ERA.

Facts are stupid things.
misquoting John Adams

The United States has much to offer the third world war.
He meant to say ‘third world’. Okay, it was a long day, he slipped--but he made the same ‘slip’ nine times in the same speech.

I’m no linguist, but I have been told that in the Russian language there isn’t even a word for freedom.
Try svoboda, Ronnie.

Nuclear power is the cleanest, the most efficient, and the most economical energy source, with no environmental problems.

This kind of weapon [nuclear] can’t help but have an effect on the population as a whole.

It isn’t as if you were looking at the ocean through a little frame and now somebody put something in the way.
why offshore oil rigs shouldn’t bother anybody

One problem that we’ve had even in the best of times... is the people who are sleeping on the grates. The homeless who are homeless, you might say, by choice.

By golly, what do you suppose is behind that?
about an Israeli attack on Iraq

Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.

I am now going over and sign, and as you can notice how cold it is, twelve pens that are too cold--they can only sign one letter, each pen. If my name came out to thirteen letters, I would have misspelled it.

If I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough I would be convinced that we’re in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we’ve got to do something about the unemployed.

My fellow Americans. I’ve just signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.
He didn’t know the mike was live

A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?

There is today in the United States as much forest as there was when Washington was at Valley Forge.

When you see one redwood, you’ve seen them all.

I don’t believe a tree’s a tree and if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all.

Unemployment insurance provides prepaid vacations for a segment of our country which has made it a way of life.

Now we’re trying to get unemployment to go up, and I think we’re going to succeed.

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Chairman Mo.
welcoming Liberian President Doe

Well, you can’t have the gross national product [pause] here’s a thing for the return of the people and so forth on that without reflecting those who are paying the taxes.

I’ve talked to you on a number of occasions about the economic problems our nation faces, and I am prepared to tell you it’s in a hell of a mess--we’re not connected to the press room yet, are we?

As Henry the Eighth said to each of his three wives, “I won’t keep you long.”
Henry VIII had eight wives.

My goal is an America where something or anything that is done to of for anyone is done neither because of nor in spite of any difference between them, racially, religiously, or ethnic-origin-wise.

Even though there may be some misguided critics of what we’re trying to do, I think we’re on the wrong path.

The Joke Hold - Ronald Reagan
