ACCIDENTALLY, TRUMP SAYS HE’S BUILDING A WALL IN COLO.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration is building a wall in Colorado, a misstatement that was immediately met with jeers online.

“Do you know why we’re going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border, and they didn’t have it. And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico and we’re building a wall in Colorado,” the president said, drawing cheers from an oil and gas conference crowd.

The remark came about 40 minutes into a speech to an annual shale conference in Pittsburgh, during which the president spoke about a wide range of topics.

Colorado does not border Mexico as New Mexico does, and it’s unclear where the president’s confusion came from. The government is building fencing near the Colorado River, which may have led to the misstatement.

Gov. Jared Polis, the force behind the expansion of full-day kindergarten throughout Colorado this past session, was among many Democrats “correcting” Trump on Twitter: “Well this is awkward … Colorado doesn’t border Mexico. Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography.”
