Tommy Fisher’s ambitious plan to win a border wall contract included talking to Trump through his favorite cable TV channel, Fox News.
Tommy Fisher’s ambitious plan to win a border wall contract included what could be the next best thing to making a pitch directly to President Trump himself — talking to him through his favorite cable TV channel, Fox News.Fisher’s North Dakota-based firm was awarded a $400-million contract this week to build 31 miles of wall in Arizona after he made numerous appearances on Fox, repeating a Trumpian boast that he could build the wall faster, better and cheaper than anyone else.
In his own appearance on Fox’s Sean Hannity show in April, Trump confirmed he was looking closely at Fisher’s company after it was recommended to him by North Dakota’s Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer. On Tuesday, the Fisher Industries president downplayed any role his appeals to politics and personality played in getting the contract.
Whatever the case, it was a long-shot, surprise win — and a big one, the second-largest contract in the company’s nearly seven-decade history. Previously, the company has built highways, done excavating work and sold heavy equipment.
