LINK AP FACT CHECK: Trump confuses, misleads on border wall
HOUSTON 
— President Donald Trump’s claims over Christmas that he had awarded 115 miles of new border wall construction in Texas appear to confuse work that’s already funded and underway.
Trump tweeted on Monday, “I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas.”
He reiterated on Tuesday that he’s moving forward on construction, even as the government remains partially shutdown over his insistence that Congress approve more money for a border wall.

IT'S A LIE. The only area of the barrier or wall that is being built and put up is the already existing wall as some sections of it have to be replaced. Trump wants you to confuse this with "his wall." It is not. In my area of Missouri the Trump supporters even say that Obama and Hillary speak of a "barrier" or "wall." Yes. Something is there in various areas of the border and has been for years. It is not Trump's wall.
