White House aide Kellyanne Conway said late Wednesday President Trump "discovered" there doesn't need to be a "physical wall" along the country's entire southern border.
"What's true is that after conferring with the experts who are involved in this process...the president discovered that part of it will be, he knows, part of it will be the physical wall, part of it is better technology, part of it is also fencing," Conway said during an interview on CNN.
"There are rivers involved, I'm told. There are mountains involved-- there's terrain that isn't conducive to building an actual physical structure in some places."
"We don't need a 2,000-mile wall," Trump said Tuesday -- in remarks similar to those he had made in July and again in September -- during bipartisan talks. He'd suggested in those summer comments that the structure needs to be transparent, lest smugglers heave "sacks of drugs over" the top --"60 pounds of stuff" -- and onto unsuspecting American heads.
In addition to possible transparent and fencing portions will be natural barriers already in existence.
"We don't need a wall where you have rivers and mountains and everything else protecting it," Trump added, addressing the roundtable of congressional officials.
“He (Trump) did stress several times that we’re not talking about a 2,000-mile wall, and, by the way, it’s more of a fence because you’ve got to see through it,” Flake told The Arizona Republic following the meeting. “And they’re only talking about 700 or 800 miles total.”
The result could be something quite different from the "big beautiful wall" Trump promised voters during his 2016 presidential campaign, and what he has advocated for in his first full year of office.
"Well, I don't know what to believe because there have been so many different stories from this President about what he means when he talks about a wall that can stretch from Brownsville 2000 miles to San Diego,” O’Rourke told CNN’s “New Day.”
“Thirty feet tall, pure concrete, we’ve heard in the past.”

Also I feel obligated to point out that I already made a thread about this, complete with Pink Floyd reference.

CONWAY: Christopher, are you telling the viewers that no drugs come through the Southern border? Did you just say that?
CUOMO: No, I’m saying the idea that a wall––
CONWAY: Facts first.
CUOMO: –is going to be a difference–
CONWAY: Be an apple, don’t be a banana!
CUOMO: –the wall is going to be a difference is a joke.
"We don't care about her. Nobody here talks about her," the White House counselor told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time." "Nobody here talks about Hillary Clinton, I promise you."
