Trump's up and tweeting, and "The Wall" is now "The Great Wall." Didn't China already do that?

Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries.......

.....Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,.....

....however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way.......

.....I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker. But the Wall will get built...

I'm reminded of someone selling 'tiger repellant' somewhere that there aren't any tigers.

'Looks like it worked!'

All we have to do is talk about it and get the desired results.

He sort of just explained why we don't need what he thinks we need.

... it has to be viewable from the International Space Station. And the word "Trump", in big gold letters, also has to be legible from space.

Ozymandias, by Donald J Trump:

I met a guy, great guy, from a terrible land, a failing land,
He said—“Two yuge legs, totally trunkless, made of stone, the best stone,
Just standing there, nothing. . . . And there’s sand, so much sand,
This guy’s face is broken, really, I mean it’s half sunk, he’s got this frown,
And his lip’s all like “mnnnnnnngggg urrrrghhh”, he’s got this sneer, cold sneer, no command,
You know what it says to me? This guy, this sculptor knew his stuff, great sculptor, well-read,
Amazing job, getting recognised more and more, these things, no life in them these things,
He’s got a tiny hand, really tiny, big heart, yuge, he’s fat, he’s well-fed
And on the bottom there’s these words, you don’t even read ‘em, they just appear:
Hey! Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Wall, ye Mighty, and despair!
There isn’t even anything there. We screwed him! there’s just decay;
This whole Wreck, ruined, it goes on forever, really, miles, totally bare,
Flat as a golf course, and where even is the oil? Seriously, where? Far away. Far away.”
