| After President Trump insisted over the weekend that his border wall was impenetrable, The Washington Post reported that smugglers from Mexico were able to cut through it with a cordless reciprocating saw.

| “[imitating Trump] You’ve got to have a see-through wall because if the wall is not see-through, the only way to know what’s on the other side is by yelling ‘Marco’ and hope they yell ‘Polo.’ That’s the only way. But some Mexicans aren’t named Marco.

| “And then Eric Trump lashed out at the media. He wrote: ‘What a joke. You are the most dishonest people. The audience was chanting “Donald Trump! Donald Trump!” followed by “USA! USA!” Dana White said it was the greatest entrance he has seen into a U.F.C. I can’t wait until we win again in 2020 to further embarrass’ — spelled wrong — ‘your profession.
