Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump just told people in Alabama that he is going to build a "see-through wall." NO JOKE.
He just told the Luther Strange supporters that a see-through wall is better, and that he is going to pick one of the "see-through" wall designs. The audience sounded rather stunned to be honest.

(12,344 posts)The idea is that drug dealers might throw 50 pound bags of drugs over the wall, so you need a see through wall (aka, a fence) to see the bags coming and not get hit in the head.

(50,580 posts)What drug dealer in his right mind would throw a 50-pound bag of drugs over the wall if they couldn't be sure someone was on the other side to catch it?
Oh yeah...Trump also says his wall is going to be 18 feet high. It's probably also going to have a 12-inch diameter concrete pipe on top that's been greased so no one can climb over...you know, like...

(65,524 posts)Of the mentioned. Since right wing topics are often mentions (to be critiqued) on DU, are related to those topics show up here. Donate $5 or $10 and you won't see any ads for a year.

(25,586 posts)Google analytics pick up on that and aim ads appropriately. I love it when we get right wing ads because it's wasted money for those assholes.

(4,033 posts)It was on a discussion about some mass shooting or other. I got the same answer, which makes sense - it costs a lot of money to run a site like DU. I became a Star Member the next day. Has helped my blood pressure considerably.

Maybe some conman from one of the national labs has convinced him that force fields have been invented. After all, Reagan thought Star Wars was a documentary.
