Donald Trump boasted of building the “Rolls Royce” of walls during a visit to a segment of border barrier in Montezuma Pass, Ariz. last week.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the portion where Trump spoke was built under the Obama Administration, the Post added.
The newspaper said a nearby extension was started under the Trump administration ― at a cost of $35 million a mile ― but didn’t get very far, with much of the construction material left in piles at the site.
Trump in 2016 repeatedly vowed to build a “big beautiful wall” across the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border if elected.
He has claimed that he completed the task.
“I did finish the wall,” he said on CNN earlier this year. “I built a wall.”
Trump also promised Mexico would pay for his wall.
