...Not a waste, and it never needed much money, just the cost equivalent of let's say, the US military equipment left to the Taliban as a gift from Biden ... maybe even less than that to finish the fence ... the funds would have been forthcoming
"Much" money? Failed president Trump's border wall in South Texas
cost $27 million a mile. The Department of Homeland Security costed
it fully at
$21.6 billion in 2017.
And, the fall of the US-backed government in Afghanistan gave Taliban
fighters access to "only"
$7 billion worth of American military equipment,
according to data in a report submitted this week to US lawmakers and
confirmed by the Pentagon. [28 April, 2022]
And in October 2019, Dear Leader pulled troops out of Kurdish-controlled Syria, killing hundreds of Kurds, to "look after the oil".

When Mad Dog Mattis resigned in disgust, Dear Leader tweeted, I fired him first!
And that's how John Bolton finally got the job - without having to shave off that moustache Dear Leader hated looking at on Fox News.
The rest, as they say, is history, no?
