Conservative commentator Ann Coulter made fun of President Trump for not building more of the border wall by joking about holding a race along portions the administration has built.
“ANNOUNCED: A race along the new border wall: The Trump Border Wall 4k! Get your T-shirts now!” Coulter said Friday on Twitter. “Be advised running the race could take up to 7 minutes.”
“Go Trump! He’s built 0.2% of the wall! ONLY 1,305 MILES TO GO!” she added in another tweet.

A Washington Examiner review of government data last November showed that the administration had not yet completed a mile along the 2,000-mile southern border but that construction had begun in several places. The administration instead has focused on putting up new barriers “in place of dilapidated and outdated designs.”
A federal appeals court has lifted a block Wednesday on $3.6 billion of funding for the border wall. Trump touted the news on Twitter and said that it means the administration can “go ahead to build one of the largest sections” of wall so far.
Coulter, 58, was one of Trump’s first and biggest supporters during the 2016 election. She has since soured in her opinion of the president because she does not believe he is doing enough to curb illegal immigration.
