The bollards or slats, as he prefers to call them, should be painted flat black, a dark hue that would absorb heat in the summer, making the metal too hot for climbers to scale.
And the tips of the bollards should be pointed, not round, the president insists, describing in graphic terms the potential injuries that border-crossers might receive.

(10,885 posts)I'm so glad that this phlub has nothing more to do or think about than minutia such as this, the 4th of July celebration, the Easter Egg Roll, the fast food nightmare served to sports champions, and the like.
It's a damn good thing he's "donating" his presidential salary (after taking the charitable deduction for same) because he sure as hell hasn't earned a dime of it.

(19,917 posts)In one section of the Berlin Wall in the French sector the commies poured wet concrete along the top of the wall, then into the wet concrete they embedded the broken up glass shards from bottles and jars they had smashed to pieces. The concrete hardened with the sharp glass edges and points sticking up all over the place to rip a person's hands up if they tried to jump up and go over the wall. Sadistic.
Part of the plan may be to cut down on the number of agents required to monitor the border/wall. Donny likes getting rid of people.
Somebody should ask Donny why not set up some automatic firing devices like the commies did in the No-Man's Land next to some sections of the Berlin Wall. In addition to the guard towers, there were square concrete boxes maybe 5' x 5' on the ground with machine guns inside. I think they were on trip wires but maybe they had infrared or something to trigger the machine guns when somebody ran through the No-Man's Land trying to escape. Sadistic. But they would let Donny fire more border patrol.

What a total asshole.

(Pay no attention to the dead bodies. They're brown.)
ETA: I think Donny may be getting some wall advice from Bibi.
