Yeah. A German guy who can't vote was supposedly like "Woah, a bunch of Latinos" and that proves that there's voter fraud. Trump is like Idi Amin level nuts.

the press conference begins

sean spicer is shoved out of that little door next to the podium in the press room

he adjusts his tie and faces the wall visual aid that president trump insisted upon

i bet theyre going to wire up the dais in the white house press room like a cattle prod so trump can administer real-time electric shocks to spicer every time he isnt yelling at the press loudly enough or darky-besuited enough

OK let's think about it.

You're going to build a 100 foot long wall, 30 feet high and 3 feet thick, of high-quality reinforced concrete. The wall is going to be anchored into the ground with a 10 foot drop.

You have to come up with a rebar design (that's a thing, you know) appropriate to the intent of the wall, and then you have to form a web of rebar for the concrete you're going to pour. You can do it in slabs. You could do it on-site, but since the site is a barren wasteland that's probably not the best idea, so you'll do it remotely.

So you're making slabs of wall maybe 10 feet wide at some facility along the border. Note that the wall needs to be at least 1000 miles long (not counting meanders) so that facility may need to move two or three times.

You need to get those huge slabs of wall (40-ish feet tall by 3 feet thick) from the fabrication facility to the wall site. You can really only do that with a large semi tractor-trailer. Problem is, there are no roads that go to most of the area where you're building the wall. So before any of this gets underway, somebody needs to create a transportation network whereby the road sections - not to mention all the other things needed by the 1000 or so people working on the wall construction need to survive day by day - can get from the point of fabrication to the place where they'll be appended to the wall-in-progress.

Your typical highway bridge is probably a few million dollars, at least. 1000 miles of this poo poo through the middle of nowhere is going to be vastly more expensive.

So this 100 foot long chunk of wall. How much would it cost? I'm guessing it would cost $1,000,000 dollars. That makes the border wall cost around $50 trillion dollars.

Ok so I'm nuts; a 100 foot stretch of wall, all told, only costs $100,000 dollars. That's all in on what I wrote above: fabrication, transportation, infrastructure around the wall zone, etc. That makes it only $5 trillion dollars.

For the entire wall to cost $400 billion dollars, that 100 foot chunk of wall - all told, including all peripheral costs - would have to cost about $7000 dollars. That's about the price it would cost to build a deck on the back of a normal suburban home.

The wall is an insane fantasy.

as a builder i think $1million for the 100ft is completely reasonable

Trump gets his worldview from gut instinct, half remembered anecdotes, and steve bannon. It's shocking to hear the president act like this on television, but it's not shocking like, at all that this is why trump believes the voter fraud thing.

In that case it must be a statement of intent, I just can't for the life of me figure out what that is. Best guess is building a continued narrative of "ineligible voters" that culminates in stripping voting rights from various demographics en masse.

There's no loving way a reification of the fantasy wall costs anything less than a trillion dollars.

Every 100 feet of that (fantasy) wall would cost probably $100,000 if you figure in the logistics of building a huge wall in a totally inhospitable part of the world. It's literally an insane fantasy.

[edit] actually 100 feet of tall reinforced concrete wall anchored at anti-tunnel depth into the ground through hard country would be way more expensive than $100,000.

Border crossing isn't even about human migration anymore. In the past few years it's become almost all drug smuggling. America has a massive appetite for drugs and the cartels will provide. It's the capitalist way.

The Trumpian Border Patrol will be all too happy to raise the drawbridge on THE WALL and let the cartels pass right on through, with a nice little kickback for themselves.

Thank goodness. The last thing I want is for this keynesian makework project to have an impact on the availability of street drugs.

Obama was a failure because he sat on information that the Russians were attempting to install a presidential candidate and did, essentially, nothing. Ironically, he allowed our sovereignty to be ceded just like what the crazy right wing nut jobs were saying he would. Except said nut jobs somehow became in favor of giving up our sovereignty. Nothing makes sense. Nothing exists. Probably.

lol are you guys seriously still crying about the Russians.

I think it might be time to get over that BS and engage in some self-criticism about how the democratic party sold their soul to corporate donors and totally betrayed the working and middle class to the point they voted for Trump out of desperation.
