Trump may have just dropped a hint about his favorite designs for the border wall

While visiting the border wall prototypes in California, Trump noted a few specific characteristics that he prefers — which would narrow it down to two designs.

  • President Donald Trump visited the prototypes for the US-Mexico border wall on Tuesday.
  • He made a few key statements that could signal what design characteristics he prefers — and only two of the prototypes fulfill all of those characteristics.
  • The Trump administration has not secured funding for the wall, however.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited the eight prototypes for the US-Mexico border wall near San Diego, California.

On the trip, Trump emphasized that the wall needs to be difficult to climb, and described some immigrants as "professional mountain climbers." He also made some key statements that may hint at which wall designs he favors.

First, he noted his preference for a see-through wall, and then specified two materials: concrete and steel. (In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in January, Trump also explained that the wall needs to be transparent, because he "wants to see.")

"We're looking very much at the wall with some see-through capability on the other side, and then solid concrete on top — or steel and concrete on top," Trump said on Tuesday.

"The round piece that you see up here ... the larger it is, the better it is, because it's harder to get over the top," he said.

But Caddell's

Once the US Customs and Border Protection fully evaluates each prototype, the agency will present its findings to Trump. The Trump administration still hasn't secured funding from Congress for the estimated $21.6 billion wall, and Mexican President has repeatedly said that his country will never pay for it.
