“President Trump is once more pushing to have his border wall painted black, a design change that is projected to add at least $500 million in costs,” the Washington Post reports.
“The president’s determination to have the steel bollards coated in black has fluctuated during the past several years, and military commanders and border officials believed as recently as last fall that they had finally talked him out of it.”
“Trump has not let go of the idea, insisting that the dark color will enhance its forbidding appearance and leave the steel too hot to touch during summer months.”
