Counting Bags Over the Wall...

So, PINO Trump is worried that Americans are going to be injured by 60 lb. bags of drugs thrown over his wall. It needs to be transparent, he says so people can protect themselves. As The Donald said, and I quote:
________________________
“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over,” he added. “As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.”
_________________________

Here's my challenge to Donald Trump. Pick up a 60 lb. bag of concrete mix and toss it over a wall that is at least 8' tall. You can buy one at the nearest Home Depot or Lowe's. They're cheap enough for you to pay for out of your change. You're a big, strapping guy, right? It should be easy, right? Heck, you could probably do it with one arm.

So, let's televise your bag toss. America can watch you demonstrate the threat that they face if the wall isn't transparent.

Someone needs to test his cognitive abilities. Something ain't right in his head.

Now, there might be someone out there who could do it, but it sure as Hell ain't The Donald. I know I couldn't, and I've handled hundreds of those 60 lb. bags of concrete mix.

I can't tell you how many times I have been jogging along a border wall and a 60 pound sack of cocaine almost landed on my head.

I've walked that border wall a gadzillion times just dreaming that a 60 lb bag of weed would fall on me.

They are heavy and unwieldy. I bet I could toss a 60lb bag about two feet horizontally and three inches vertically. That's it. So if president Butt Munch decides to take up this challenge, I hope he remembers to lift with his back instead of his legs.

I can imagine Trump looking over the designs and seeing one that is has some "holes " in it and asking what they were for.

The guy, being careful not scream out laughing gives him the drug bag story and Trump goes away thinking he has just heard a border guard inside story. Proud that he now knows all about drug dealing on the border, he immediately has to tweet it out!

They are talking 30' high wall. Think about it.
