The "big beautiful wall" has now become "steel slats." President Donald Trump is tweaking the words he uses to describe the barrier he's hoping to build along the US-Mexico border, in part because Democrats appear more likely to sign off on a bill that gives money for "fencing" instead of a "wall."
"The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall - but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it," Trump tweeted Tuesday, adding that it would be "beautiful and, at the same time, give our Country the security that our citizens deserve."
He later praised the House for "approving strong border security and the money necessary to take care of the barrier, wall or steel slats," adding, "Whatever you want to call it, it's all the same."
