Wait a minute! What's this I hear about Congress being willing to pay, using our money!, billions for a useless border fence. Where is G. D. Mexico in this deal? Trump assured us, over and over again, that Mexico was going to pay for his wall. That was the signature promise of his entire campaign! Turns out that promise was just another of Trump's continuous lies! What is wrong with you suckers that support this clown?
When Trump made that promise, numerous times, the number crossing the border illegally each year had already slowed to a crawl. Take that number and multiply it by the number of years the wall will last before it is torn down as a hideous eyesore. Then divide the result into 3 billion* times the same number of years plus 15 billion, and see what you come up with. Don't include the number of illegals tunneling under.
In future texts on the history of the U.S., when the Table of U.S. Insanity is illustrated, where will "Trump's Wall" rank? Probably below the second Gulf War, the Vietnam war, and the overthrow of Prime Minister Mossaddegh, but well above the 2016 Republican, Primary Campaign and Melanomia's speech to the 2016 Republican National Convention.
If you've ever visited the U.S. Mexican Border, particularly before miles of ugly double fencing or, worse yet, solid steel fencing was erected, then you know that much of it is, or was, spectacularly scenic, especially so in Spring. Thank God the Grand Canyon doesn't run along the U.S. Mexican border our we'd have a rusty steel wall on the North Rim.
