I would suggest the [double stacked matchbox barrier](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ba1OKY7Xc) (YouTube, 1:47) as illuminated in the Upper Class Twit of the Year contest, but I fear it would keep more of us in than keep anyone out. ---

And it’ll cost twice as much if Trump handles the project personally, because they’ll have to go back and correct the spelling. ---

He’s already posted pictures of the wall (fence) that was being built during Obama and took credit for it. What’s “artistically designed” to Trump? Will Melania get a say in how it looks? Will each slat have a letter from “I don’t care, do U?” ---

Sorry for the [Facebook link](https://www.facebook.com/199049746935671/photos/a.199051206935525/1174070962766873/?type=3&theater), but I couldn’t find it elsewhere. If you don’t want to click, I’ll describe it. Trump supporters are proudly showing off their T-shirts, which have The Wall from Pink Floyd’s album cover, with ‘Trump Wall’ on it written in Pink Floyd’s font. The text reads: I wonder if the makers of the pro-Trump Wall T-shirts know that Pink Floyd’s Wall symbolized fascism, paranoia, and suicidal isolationism. Nah, they probably stopped after they heard the line “We don’t need no education…” ---

It’s like when you check out at the grocery store and the clerk looks at your register receipt and says, “You saved two dollars and thirteen cents today,” and you reply, “Yeah, I’m really feelin’ it.” ---
