NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump praised DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for moving to paint the entire southern border wall black, saying it will increase the wall’s effectiveness, making it «untouchable» for would-be illegal immigrants.
Speaking to the press in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump said, «I didn’t know she was listening» when he suggested the wall should be black.
«So, I turn on last night, and I see Kristi is painting the wall. And it looked beautiful, by the way, when that paint went on. It’s beautiful,» he said. «It’s hot. If it’s white, it’s not hot. If it’s black, it’s going to be very hard to climb that sucker.»
The president also touted the wall’s quality, saying, «I built the same wall that the Border Patrol asked me to build,» consisting of high-grade steel, reinforced with thick rebar and 9,000-pound concrete.

Noem announced Tuesday the entire southern border wall will be painted black as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of the wall as a deterrent.
Speaking in front of a portion of the southern border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, Noem explained that the wall would be painted entirely black for the dual purposes of making it heat up more and harder to climb and preserving metal from rust.
Noem credited the «one big, beautiful bill» passed by Congress in July for allocating «an incredible amount of resources» that she said is «going to allow us to continue construction» of the wall, which she said is advancing at a pace of about half a mile of new wall per day.
The secretary explained that the new paintwork comes «specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer, and it will make it even harder for people to climb.»

«So, we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come to our country the right way so that they can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and pursue the American dream,» said Noem.
Speaking at the White House Friday, Trump recalled the moment he told Noem, «We got to get a coat of paint on it.»
«And I didn’t know she was listening, but I said, ‘We got to get a coat of paint, and it should be black because black makes the steel very hot. It’s untouchable,’» he explained. «You could fry an egg on it, and if you got a good, black, flat paint, it would look beautiful, and it will preserve it from rust. And that was it, and I gave it to her along with 30 other things.»

Turning to Noem, who was in the room beside him, Trump asked, «Is that going to be a two-coat job or one coat?»
«Just one coat,» Noem replied.

The president quipped back, «The two-coat [job] will take place in three years from now. We’ll do the second.
«But it looks beautiful,» he added. «But thank you very much. I didn’t know you were listening. Like, we talked about seven different subjects. And all of a sudden, I see you’re out there painting with a lot of painters and everything else, but it was a beautiful thing to see.»

Trump rips trial judge whose $500M penalty was erased on appeal

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Fresh off a major appellate win, President Donald Trump on Sunday tore into New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw his state civil fraud trial, calling him «incompetent,» «crooked» and nearly as «corrupt» as New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump’s barbs followed an appellate ruling that erased a $500 million penalty in James’ high-profile civil fraud case, handing Trump one of his biggest legal wins yet.
«The Appellate Court removed incompetent Judge Engoron, but he refused to go, or even to acknowledge them,» Trump wrote on Truth Social. «He’s a highly overturned, CROOKED Judge, who is retiring into a life of lawsuits, along with his Chief Clerk, soon! He is almost as Corrupt as Leticia James, but not quite!»
Engoron presided over the non-jury trial, and Trump allies accused him of bias against the president-elect, his family and his company. Trump was accused of inflating the value of his assets to get more favorable terms from a lender his real estate business worked with.

The New York Appellate Division tossed the penalty, ruling the fine was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment.
The five-member panel upheld findings that Trump and his company were liable, affirming James acted within her authority and that injunctive relief against the Trump Organization was appropriate.
The ruling left liability intact but wiped out the $364 million penalty plus interest, which totaled about $500 million.

Justice David Friedman dissented in part, arguing James’ true aim was political, and the case should be dismissed. He wrote her «ultimate goal was not market hygiene … but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump’s political career and the destruction of his real estate business.»
Friedman blasted James’ use of Section 63(12) of New York’s Executive Law, which gives the attorney general broad civil fraud powers.
He called the use unprecedented and political, giving James «essentially limitless power to prosecute her political enemies.»

Friedman said Trump’s business deals involved sophisticated parties who profited without harming the public and concluded he would «reverse the judgment and dismiss the complaint.»
With judges split on liability, the case is likely headed to New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. James said she will appeal.
James, a Democrat elected in 2018, has long targeted Trump. On the campaign trail, she called him an «illegitimate president» and vowed to «use every area of the law» to investigate him and his businesses.

Since Trump returned to office, the Justice Department has opened investigations tied to the case brought against Trump and also over allegations she committed mortgage fraud herself.
James alleges Trump is using the federal government to target her politically. DOJ is also investigating her for alleged mortgage fraud, including misrepresenting her primary residence on loans in Virginia and New York. She denies the claims and calls the probe a «revenge tour» for the civil fraud suit.
