That was the headline in Business Insider, after the end of Trump's term.

OTDI 2017, two months into his term, the Trump Administration formally requested bids to build his impenetrable Wall. Trump, the "Great Builder," was going to create the "most beautiful" and most effective Wall ever seen.

By the end of his presidency, Donald Trump had built less than 50 miles of new fencing.  And it turns out that the brand new stuff he did custom-design was pretty…lousy.

Why? Well, for example, you can simply go over it:

Or, if you don't like heights, you can just go under it (along with the CNN camera crew).

Some pieces of his pet Wall, in Calexico, even fell down on a windy day.

By the way, do we even need to say it? Obviously Mexico never paid for any of this.
