In case you missed this Trump rally pronouncement by The Donald on Wednesday:

"During a speech in Pittsburgh October 23, President Trump said, 'We're building a wall on the border of New Mexico. And we're building a wall in Colorado.' He boasted that the wall would be "a big one that really works — you can't get over, you can't get under." (Westword)

We Coloradans welcome the news that our beloved president wants to wall in our blue state.  We're perfectly happy to be cut off from civilization until the nightmare of President Bozo is over.

Well this is awkward ...Colorado doesn’t border Mexico. Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography

Blue state New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s press secretary Nora Sackett was less amused.

“Wouldn’t surprise me if he really did forget about a state that he lost by such a significant margin, especially when that seems to be the only thing of importance to him and given that he can expect more of the same in 2020,” Sackett told HuffPost in an email. “No one wants his wall, whether it’s on the Mexican border, the Colorado border, or the Canadian border.”

In a follow-up statement, a different member of Lujan Grisham’s press office emphasized: “Yes, we are a state.”
