"This is going to be close to 500 miles by the time we finish, those are the areas that are the most important. That should be done pretty close to next year."

President Trump adds: "It is virtually impenetrable."

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump President Trump Explaining the Interior of the Wall:

"You have the rebar, you have the steel, & then you have concrete. It's hardened concrete, very powerful concrete. What is that 4k lbs or 5k lbs concrete?"

President: "That's a very powerful concrete."
