Donald Trump on Painting the Border Wall Black with Kristi Noem

The Border Wall Project

• 🧱 Donald Trump discusses the construction of the border wall, noting it was built to Border Patrol specifications.
• 🏗️ The wall is described as a multi-material structure featuring high-grade steel, 9,000 lb concrete, and rebar, designed to be difficult to cut.

The Black Paint Idea

• 💡 Trump proposed painting the wall black, suggesting the color would make the steel extremely hot in the sun, deterring climbers.
• ☀️ He mentioned that a flat black paint would also preserve the wall from rust and improve its appearance.

Implementation and Appearance

• 🎨 Kristi Noem is credited with implementing the painting idea, which Trump observed on television.
• ✨ The black paint is described as making the wall look beautiful and preserving it from rust.
• 🌡️ The heat generated by the black paint is emphasized as a deterrent, making the wall difficult to climb.
• 🗓️ A second coat of paint is planned for three years from now, with the current application being a single coat.
