Actually, the wall is probably a Secret Service requirement, sort of like GWB's Walker's Point.
Fenced entrance and Secret Service out on boats around the premises.

(82,383 posts)Houses are not countries nor analogous to them.
When they liken illegal entry into a country to breaking into a house, it is just as inapplicable.

erronis
(15,241 posts)They're all interchangeable. Imagine the future insults when someone says "you're just a trump".
Or "You just stepped in a trump."
Or "Even trump couldn't have f'd this up as bad as you."
What I fear is when the russkis have elevated the bloviated trump-mass on a pedestal on the DC mall.

(22,976 posts)He has a 10-footer! I want a bigger one! I alone must have the biggest slats!
If this numbskull didnt have access to the nuclear codes, hed be a pitiful laugh riot, and so easy to just dismiss. But there he sits, as the President of the United States. That alone is the grimmest joke of the goddamned century.

Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)why doesn't he have a wall around Trump Tower where he lives?

(58,648 posts)how RWers are always saying the gov't should be run like a business, or worse, like your home finances.
No, I don't think so.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)If you look at real estate photos from the period that the Obamas were negotiating to buy the house, you will see a very prominent wall on the back and part of the side of the house, but a street view from the front. My guess is any other additions were mandated by the Secret Service, they don't seem to screw around with the total security of whoever they are assigned to protect.
JDC
(10,127 posts)There wont't be any substantive pushback, because it is such a petty, ridiculous thing to say. But it will take root with his fans. Obama! They live/love to hate.

(31,261 posts)If you look at pre purchase pictures, you see a very prominent wall on part of the property. The Secret Service likely made other changes.

I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!

(51,454 posts)walls around their homes and leave the border alone. Wait, wouldn't that be like a gated community?

(37,748 posts)He's a blind idiot pretending to be clever leading other blind idiots also pretending to be clever. He mirrors their own lunacy... he really is one of them.
Those poor saps are simply to dull-witted to realize that being one of them means being an imbecile.
