President Trump said he was joking about building a border wall in Colorado after facing mockery online.
Trump, speaking in Pennsylvania Wednesday, seemed to mess up his geography when he told a crowd with a serious face that in addition to border wall construction in New Mexico and Texas, “We’re building a wall in Colorado.”

Trump made the initial comments at the Shale Insight Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, while touting new border wall construction to prevent illegal immigrants from entering from Mexico.
“We’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico, and we’re building a wall in Colorado. We’re building a beautiful wall. A big one that really works, that you can’t get over, you can’t get under. And we’re building a wall in Texas,” Trump said. “We’re not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned.”
