Trump's farcical border wall fails as immigration policy and impeachment distraction

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump’s border wall has been one of the most useless and expensive infrastructure projects in American history. But it succeeded beyond expectations as a symbol that unites and mobilizes Trump supporters — which is why he used it as a distraction and a showcase for defiance the day before the House impeached him for the second time.

Less than a week after his followers stormed the nation’s Capitol in a siege that led to five dead, Trump was anything but remorseful in a speech to border security agents near the small town of Alamo in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. He dismissed efforts to remove him from office before his term ends next Wednesday and suggested — absurdly — that President-elect Joe Biden could be the one removed.

“The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for," Trump told the crowd. More ominously, he claimed that impeachment is a hoax “causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the USA, especially at this very tender time.”

The insinuation: There could be a violent response.
