Donald Trump Says He’ll Build a Border Fence ‘Nobody Can Penetrate’
Real estate tycoon and 'Celebrity Apprentice' star Donald Trump pledged on Saturday in Iowa that if he were to win a presidential election, one of the first things he would do is build a fence alone all of America's southern border.
'The fence would be done at a very reasonable cost, relative to the value, Trump told Daily Mail Online in an interview after he spoke to the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines.
'And nobody would be able to penetrate that fence.'
America has to build it if it wants to preserve its national security, he told a crowd estimated at 1,500 but which was peppered with empty seats all day.
'It has to be a beauty,' he said onstage, to hoots and applause. 'Who can build better than Trump? I've built lots of buildings. Fences are easy – believe me.'
'If I run and if I win, I would certainly start by building a very, very powerful one.'
