Homeland Security Secretary Noem is now into being a painter!

She was in El Paso, Tx. Another stunt and photo op by her! Just another day in Trumpian paradise!

She was painting the wall at the border. They were painting it black as they did in Trump’s 1st term.

It only showed her doing for a few seconds and she wasn’t covered in spattered paint or wasn’t sweating from the intense heat!

Boy, they just can’t stop with the BS photo ops and ridiculous stunts!

Trump had the brilliant insight that a black wall would be hotter - nobody knew that before Trump! - and so would make it more painful for the thieves and rapists coming from Mexico to climb. Of course, that would only be true during daylight during the summer months, but that's okay. It's a great photo op for Noem, as well as a distraction from Epstein. I wonder - how many of those poles did she paint, top to bottom? I don't see a ladder nearby.

Would black really be that much worse?

(And if I’d been old enough to sneak out of the house at night to go play on them, that would have solved the problem.)

That freaking ineffective wall. I think we taxpayers have spent more to repair it's few existing miles, than it has actually done to keep anyone out.
