CALEXICO, Calif. When President Donald Trump visits this border city Friday, he plans to tour a recently installed section of border fence. It's the first replacement project completed under his presidency, and a plaque welded to the bollards marked the occasion.
The plaque, installed more than six months ago when the work was completed, refers to the 2.25-mile-long barrier as the "the first section of President Trump's border wall."
Border officials in Calexico have noted that the project had been planned for years before Trump took office.

If only.

of fence. The Orange Turd will point to his plaque every day from now until he dies.
