6 Wild Things Said In The Secret Recording Of Trump's Dinner
3. Trump floated plans for a “see-through” border wall
Trump expressed the need for a “see-through” border wall. The president noted that drug smugglers use catapults to hurl drugs across the border and claimed, without proof, that a 100-pound package of drugs struck a Border Patrol agent after being thrown over.
“They actually said, that these drug dealers, it’s so dangerous now with a solid wall, because they take the drugs, it weighs 100 pounds approximately,” Trump said. “A bag, a satchel, they call it a satchel, they throw it out over the wall and it goes over the wall and it will land on a guy’s head and he kills him.”
The other guests laugh as Trump continues.
“Yeah no, our border guys will be walking and they throw it,” he added. “So if you can’t see through the wall, they throw the drugs, they have a catapult, they throw it over the wall and it lands on the other side of the wall and it can hit people.”
While it’s true catapults have been used to get drugs across the border, there’s no evidence that people have been hit by it, according to fact-checking site PolitiFact.
