“If there’s a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go under it, go around it. But get to the other side of that wall.” Donald Trump, May 21 2004

Across the pond, our government shut down because a young lad was with his mum in the checkout lane at the grocery store and threw a tantrum because his mum would not buy him candy.

Not to mention the maintenance required to keep the wall running, or standing

[neilhelp]

you all must dump trump and research why a wall is not the answer to the problems

[darrith]

While we are: just another brick in the wall.
