Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: “I built almost 2,000 miles” of border wall.
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Across Trump’s first term and second term through September 2026, about 674 miles of border-wall construction had been completed when replacement and secondary barriers are included. Only about 124 miles were new primary wall in locations where no barrier previously existed, far short of 2,000 miles.
