> We had the strongest border in the recorded history of our country, by far. We had it down to a level that they'd never seen before. We built 571 miles of wall. We had it down. We were going to build another 200. It was all done. Then the election was rigged and we couldn't put it up. We had three weeks. It was all there. And all they had to do is put up the slats, put them up. It was all done. 200 miles, actually built 300 miles more than I said we were going to do. All they had to do is put it up. And they, you know what, they took over and they didn't put it up. They sold the stuff for five cents on the dollar. Think of it. For five cents and it's expensive. It's what the Border Patrol wanted. I wanted concrete slabs and they wanted to have steel, rebar and concrete, all three. And they were right. You had to have a fence to see through. I said what the hell do you have to see through? What are we looking at? They wanted a fence. I did everything they bought, even the panel on top. You know it's called an anti-climb paddle. You know that? Because it makes it very hard for people. Do you ever watch these people? With 70 pounds of drugs in their back, they go up. They're unbelievable. They're like athletes. But when you have the paddle, the anti-climb paddle, it's very hard for them to get across. So I gave them everything they wanted, 571 miles we built. And that's why that happened. And that's why we had such good numbers. And then I had another 200 miles that was ready to be in, so it would have been done in three weeks. And these guys said, we don't want to do it. And I said, they want open borders. Nobody believed it. Why would they want open borders? They either hate the country or they're stupid. And they're not stupid because anybody that could cheat on elections the way they do is not stupid. So they either hate the country or they're stupid. So we are going to close up the border like we had it. We had the best border ever.
