Watching Merkel on #Netflix. Can I just point out Eva Weber, The Berlin wall was officially built to keep the West out, although, in reality, it was built to keep the East in. Comparing it to Trump's wall, which I might add Joe Biden is still building, is misleading and inaccurate in the context used in the program.

my article cite is later than that economist article and is a push back on the notion the wall “was still being built” - a talking point of the GOP at the time.
