Most real life antipersonnel sentry guns seem to have about a 3km acquisition range, varying between day and night.

The samsung model supposedly costs $200,000 per unit.

So, if the US/Mexico border is 3201km long, and we space the guns every 2.5km in order for them to be able to cover an area in front of the wall at maximum spacing, that puts the cost of the robo-annihilation wall at $256,080,000 for the guns alone.

this wouldn't include eminent domain costs for the land near the border which would have to be purchased and vacated

I mean no one had any reason to think that a serial liar and narcissist wasn't telling the truth during his campaign.

well, there's the desperate, the stupid, the spiteful, etc.

It's always been the plan to make mexico pay for the wall after the fact.

He's still an idiot but cmon now

normally when people say "i'm going to order a pizza and steve will pay for it" what they dont really mean is "i'm going to order a pizza, pay for it, and then beg steve to reimburse me"

of course he backpedaled on the details after his embarassing trip to mexico but the language he's used was always a very forceful and blatant lie

Hate to play retard's advocate here, but I feel like this is not gonna shock Trump supports very much. Many of them are probably satisfied with paying for it, as long as it gets done and consider all that Mexico bullying to be just the cherry on top.

Also, many people don't see a difference between Mexico paying up front or getting billed later and won't see this as Trump breaking his promise. In 8 years, Trump will still be "negotiating" with Mexico and his promise will still not be considered broken.

I feel like he is gonna come out this totally clean.

most of these people dont know there's already a border wall between us and mexico
