Border Dispatch: Faulconer Says He Did Not Thank Trump For The Wall | Michael Smolens - a podcast by San Diego Union-Tribune

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is disputing President Donald Trump’s comments that Faulconer thanked Trump for his efforts on the border wall during a Tuesday meeting between the two men at the White House.

Trump said on Fox News Wednesday night that Faulconer expressed gratitude for local upgrades to the wall and declared that they had been highly effective.

“The mayor was just up in my office - great guy,” Trump told Sean Hannity. “He came up to thank me for having done the wall because it’s made such a difference. He said it’s like day and night. He said people were flowing across and now nobody can come in.”

Faulconer’s spokesman Craig Gustafson said the president’s recollection of the meeting is flat wrong.
