Trumps border wall, vulnerable to flash floods, needs large storm gates left open for months
Debris is caught against closed floodgates on border fencing Jan. 7 in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Lukeville, Ariz. Such floodgates need to be left open during the summer. (Carolyn Van Houten/The Washington Post)

NACO, Ariz. President Trump's border wall probably will require the installation of hundreds of storm gates to prevent flash floods from undermining or knocking it over, gates that must be left open for months every summer during "monsoon season" in the desert, according to U.S. border officials, agents and engineers familiar with the plans.

On us, of course.
Has there ever been a more corrupt and incompetent U.U. President ever?
if we survive the Trump presidency, Trump will be permanently pinned to the top of the list of worst presidents ever.
