What a waste !

Think of all the bridges that could be built with the steel they plan to use on a fence?

We could probably build a high-speed rail system across most of the country with the steel and labor wasted on a Trumpian fantasy?

It is such a terrible idea.

Ignorance personified.

I can't believe any politician could possibly think this would be a prudent allocation of resources. Someone or many people need to put President Dipshit in his place.

scrap metal dealers on both sides of the border will have a field day ripping the thing apart......

Hell, that's a threefer for Trump. He gets to claim he built a wall and the economies of both the US and Mexico get a huuuuge boost.

And, of course the American taxpayer gets the shaft.........

Trump will hold out and not open the government until he gets his vanity wall... and he doesn't care if the country implodes...the Russian government will applaud this because they elected a guy who is still doing their bidding..
