Trump: 'We're building a wall in Colorado'
Donald J. Trump delivered what would have been a very funny comedy routine today, were he not the president of the United States.
"We're building a wall on the border of New Mexico.
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.
And we're not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned."

Alert: The president said a couple minutes ago, "We're building a wall in Colorado. We're building a beautiful wall. A big one that really works."

Oddly, the crowd behind him applauds the "building a wall in Colorado" announcement.
But wait, there was more extreme weirdness.

"Don't hurt 'em. Don't hurt 'em, please. They don't know they're dealing with very tough people in this room," Trump says after a protest interruption. "They don't know who they're dealing with! They don't know who they're dealing with!...Go home to mom."

"You'll never have another president like me," Trump says, it seems specifically about his regulatory and energy policies. "That's for sure."

"A POTUS riff on his promise to build a border wall-in which he ticked off the list of states the wall would touch, including, incorrectly, Colorado-drew laughs from more than a few of the conference attendees. Several shook their heads..." from pooler @MichaelCBender.
