Trump said he knows a border wall will work because wheels work, and the Secret Service uses 'really

"They say a wall is medieval. Well, a wheel is older than a wall," Trump said, though the earliest known border wall is actually thousands of years older than the wheel. "And I looked, and every single car out there, even the really expensive ones that the Secret Service uses — and believe me they are expensive — I said, 'Do they all have wheels?' 'Yes.' 'Oh. I thought it was medieval.'"

He continued: "The wheel is older than the wall. You know that? There are some things that work. A wheel works and a wall works."

1. Walls are old.
2. Wheels are old.
3. Cars have wheels.
4. Cars work.
? 5. $5.7 billion tax dollars on a piece of wall in the middle of the desert where no drugs or terrorists ever go but a few poor central Americans may wander through to pick strawberries and be more law abiding than the average American so they can send a few dollars home to their families living in poverty is a great deal for everyone!

The Cohen hearings are going to change everything.
What I love best is that exactly one week after being sworn in, Dems made this announcement while the Con thought he was running the news cycle - Cohen has tapes - this is fall down funny

Offer to give aliens Stonehenge and crop circles back if they will take Trump as an extra that we throw in.

"And therefore?" "A witch! Burn her! Burn her!"

His logic is impeccable.
