Is your ego so fragile that admitting your Great Wall of Trump is now the Modest Fence of Trump so hard that you insist on calling it steel slats?
Youre like me when I was 5 and my parents told me I was getting a haircut and it made me deathly afraid because it sounded vicious to me, so they told me I was getting I was getting my hair styled and suddenly I was cool with it.
But I was 5 and kind of an idiot at the time, and well, come to think of it, so are you....

(50,236 posts)1. Why did he drop "artistically designed" from his description of the steel slats?
We can't have just any old fence . . . er, wall . . . we need the best designer steel slats. LOL. What an idiot. Even his cult members can recognize a fence.

Ego is that fragile. Anybody can build a fence i guess, but only a stable genius can build a barrier with metal slats. Well, except for all those wind breaks on the expressways all over the damned country!

(3,433 posts)4. I love how he is now calling a fence his "wall"
Back when he first proposed his stupid wall, he clearly stated that a WALL was needed because fences were insufficient:
A wall is better than fencing, and its much more powerful. Its more secure. Its taller.
