Trump Defends Border Wall Design
November 2, 2019 at 10:58 pm EST By Taegan Goddard


After years of touting the impenetrability of a border wall, President Trump said Saturday that “you can cut through any wall” as reports surfaced of smugglers sawing through newly erected barriers with readily available power tools, Politico reports.

Said Trump: “We have a very powerful wall. But no matter how powerful, you can cut through anything, in all fairness. But we have a lot of people watching. You know cutting, cutting is one thing, but it’s easily fixed. One of the reasons we did it the way we did it, it’s very easily fixed. You put the chunk back in.”

Maybe Trump can find some volunteer welders to stand guard 24/7. Perhaps Ivanka could order a room in the White House be set aside for spray painting welding helmets red. Children could do it, particularly since Team Trump had kids practice building a wall recently.

Just put all the spare water in giant bladders, ship to the arctic or antarctic have herd of helicopters standing by to lift the water up out of the ship and dump it back over the glacier.

Maybe Mexico can pay for it.
