On Tuesday, President Trump praised the US-Mexico border fence that his administration is building.
"There could be the case of an Olympic champion who can break the wall," Trump told reporters. "But for the most part, you are not able to do it."
"He's going to be 30 feet tall, most are 30 feet tall," Trump added. "Some are lower, but in some areas we have up to 30 feet. It's like a three-story building. So we made great strides in renovating, repairing, building new walls and, very excitingly, we distributed our largest section yesterday and work is starting next week.
Following a partial government shutdown effective Saturday morning, most of Trump's recent remarks have centered on the overthrow of the Democratic Party over the new funding of the border wall.

"Virtually All The Democratic Party With Which We Are Working Today Firmly Supported A Closing Wall Or A Barrier," said Lump Trump [19659032]on Monday. "Only when I made an important part of my campaign, because people and drugs poured out of control in our country, they opposed.
And in another Christmas Eve a few hours later, he wrote : "I am alone (poor me) in the White House, waiting for the Democrats to return and reach an agreement on desperately needed border security. At a certain point, the Democrats who do not want to reach an agreement will cost our country more money than the border wall we all talk about. Crazy! "
