The border wall gets a new project manager

The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump is tasking his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with overseeing the construction of the border wall:

According to the Post, he’s now the “de facto project manager”:

“President Trump has made his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the de facto project manager for constructing his border wall, frustrated with a lack of progress over one of his top priorities”https://t.co/kTuJqjN3vZ

The DHS admitted earlier this month that no new border wall had actually been constructed, which we assume is where Jared comes in:

Everyone says @realDonaldTrump is a liar, but I BELIEVE! Please just tweet me the longitude and latitude of a single inch of new wall, Mr. President, so we can put an end to this slander.https://t.co/ZCcdpC9A1U

To counter critics, the president argues that upgraded fencing should count as new wall construction:

When the Military rips down an old & badly broken Border Wall in an important location, & replaces it with a brand new 30 ft. high Steel & Concrete Wall, Nancy Pelosi says we are not building a Wall. Wrong, and it is going up fast. Brandon Judd just gave us great marks! @FoxNews
