Donald Trump mentioned to the audience last year at a rally I was in that the Mexican border wall needed 3 weeks for completion, but is there any proof of this?

See the C-SPAN video at 11:30 to 11:50.

Also, Business Insider reports on January 21, 2022 —

"So we would've had the wall completed in three weeks," Trump said. "It was largely completed. We did almost 500 miles of wall, and the southern border."

    @JoeW I would submit that a claim made by a notable person is a notable claim. It's a better fit there than here.

    If you could find a YouTube or a quote from those rallies making this statement, this would probably be on topic for Skeptics. After all, it is a fairly notable claim when made by a POTUS candidate. And kudos on you for questioning what you heard from Trump.

    TBH, it's hard to put a real meaning to what Trump says there. It's not your fault, but the claim is probably unverifiable due to Trump's vagueness, at least.

    It appears he was just talking about the 450 or so miles of wall he commissioned as being 3 weeks away from completed when he left office. The whole border is some 1900 miles.
