Something pinged my radar about this. Ah yessss........
That yahoo article cites a ProPublica/TexasTribune article, but fails to mention something that the cited article does mention:
This is the same company that was controversially given the contract last May, after the company owner had been lavishing praise on Trump on Fox interviews and his family had been donating lavishly to Republican candidate US Sen. Kevin Cramer who seems to have connections with Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon. IIRC there was some question whether this company had any business or expertise in building walls like this, not to mention being located in far-off North Dakota.
Yeah, that company.
So now Trump trashes them because they deliberately built the wall just to make him look bad.
Trump says he disagreed with privately funded border wall. The builder got $1.7 billion in wall contracts from his administration., Perla Travizo and Jeremy Schwartz, Texas Tribune and ProPublica Investigative Unit, July 12, 2020.
