Trump cited UQAM prof to prove border walls work. She says they don’t | Montreal Gazette
Super drôle, quand Trump cite notre copine Elisabeth Vallet de l’UQAM :) pour soutenir son projet de mur...
On croyait avoir fait le tour de la connerie du mec mais non, il nous étonne encore plus chaque jour ! Et au passage chapeau pour Elisabeth qui a du bien se marrer.

In a tweet this week, U.S. President Donald Trump cited a number from a Montreal researcher to buttress his argument that the United States needs the Mexican border wall on which he wants to spend $5.7 billion U.S.
The problem: the researcher — Élisabeth Vallet of the Université du Québec à Montréal — says border walls are a waste. She says the money should instead be spent in two areas anathema to Trump: foreign aid and environmental policies.
Trump’s tweet, posted Wednesday: “There are now 77 major or significant Walls built around the world, with 45 countries planning or building Walls. Over 800 miles of Walls have been built in Europe since only 2015. They have all been recognized as close to 100% successful. Stop the crime at our Southern Border!”
