Trump's proposed Colorado border wall has inspired a lot of Sharpie memes
Donald Trump apparently wants to build another border wall in... Colorado.
Speaking at the Shale Insight Conference in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Trump said he was going to win New Mexico because the residents "want safety on their border" and he's building a border wall. The president then casually added that his administration is "building a wall in Colorado" that is "a beautiful wall, a big one that really works — you can't get over, you can't get under."

Trump went on to announce that he's also building a wall in Texas, which doesborder Mexico, so that one we get. And then he joked that "we're not building a wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the walls that we just mentioned. And Louisiana's incredible."
OK! Let's revisit that Colorado wall, shall we? Co-lo-ra-do, as in, the state that shares a border with NewMexico, but not Mexico.

Trump has said a lot of confusing things during his time in office, but the thought of building a border wall in Colorado really got people. The memes, many of which made a nod to Trump's infamous Sharpie map, were quickly born.

On Thursday, post-backlash, Trump attempted to backtrack and explain that he "Kiddingly" said he was building a wall in Colorado. He said that his comment was intended to mean that like Kansas, the people of Colorado would be benefiting from the border wall he isbuilding across the U.S. and Mexico border.

The thing is, that's simply not what he said! So I guess the memes still stand as strong as that imaginary border wall in Colorado.
