I would say the best mountain climbers in the world don't agree. Also, that's not the fence Trump was talking about.

'Military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.'

The mountains in Florida are AWESOME!

Why would you say that? Do we have dedicated and specialized mountain climbing units? I am sort of dubious about that. I suspect you are engaging in hyperbole.

Or maybe jingoism.
