"One of the things with the wall is you need transparency," Trump said.

"You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall -- so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall."

Experts have noted that with potentially violent cartels looking to smuggle people, drugs and other illicit goods into the US, it's essential that agents have visibility on their movements.

Trump offered another example.

"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," Trump said. "As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall."

Trump also acknowledged Thursday that "violent and vicious" rivers and natural barriers along the southern border likely mean that the wall will not cover the full stretch, which is nearly 2,000 miles.

"You'll need anywhere from 700 to 900 miles," Trump said, in a substantially scaled back vision than he once touted.
Given current pacing for the wall, it could take a decade and tens of billions of dollars to make his plan happen.

The dumbest motherfucker on the planet.

He's calling Vince Mcmahon right now to get a wall made of John Cenas

 

[Gordon Shumway]

LMAO..clown.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Is there video? I want see the look on the face of the person interviewing him while he says this.

 

[kulapik]

So... A fence?

 

[PumpkinSpice]

So Trump is proposing to change the dictionary definition of "wall" to this?

 

[Razorback]

Just an excuse to explain why he can only afford fences rather than walls.

 

[Mendrox]

What? Really?

 

[IronRinn]

Further and further into Onion territory with each passing day.

I assume his plan is to spend all 4 years pretending he somehow has the political capital to ever break ground on this.

 

[LakeEarth]

Ironically, he's being very transparent right now.

 

[Cake Boss]

Trump reinvents the fence.

 

[SafeinSound]

I mean you can't make this stuff up

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I don't talk good but I know smart wall plan when I see it. Best words. Someone call Rent-A-Fence.

"The wall is tremendous, nothing can get through. Hey is that a speeding car?"

 

[x24hrs2livex]

Smart idea, from a smart man. Keep em coming Donnie!

Well done.

What you need is transparent aluminum!

 

[Muffin1611]

If it's gonna be fence it will be extremely easy to get through with some tools. So that can't be it.

Is it gonna be made out of bullet-proof glass?

Frame it and tell your grandkids.

It was on Air Force One. Off camera and off the record as requested by the WH. Then changed to on record as demanded by the mad king.

[Mr. Poolman]

Never, on my many years on this planet, I've seen a person struggle so much to say "fence"

 

[Siegcram]

You guys need a mandatory IQ test for elected positions. This is unreal.

 

[Brashnir]

His true end goal is to surround the country with these and have global warming cause it to flood to prepare for the upcoming ice age.

Is he a Russian puppet or a Canadian puppet?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Yo what the actual fuck is this dude talking about.

This is new levels of gibberish. How he gets up in the morning and is able to tie his shoes is beyond me.

 

[Kayhan]

Makes sense. Very forward thinking.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Invisible walls are what killed Thor when he tried to jump that ravine on his dirt bike. Careful

 

[Dynasty]

Who is going to keep this wall clean?

 

[Dead Prince]

making it idiot proof. sometimes you have to have an idiot to think of the craziest possible thing to ever happen.

[Kinyou]

Trump is so good at solving problems he even solves problems that don't make any sense

 

[Kurdel]

I nominate this as the dumbest thing he has said yet.

 

[JBourne]

Yeah, if I got hit in the head with a giant bag of drugs I would have serious problems.

 

[Jackpot]

This is literally the same territory as The Dictator's pointy rocket.

 

[RM8]

He's a native Englishh speaker.

 

[v3numb]

The transparent wall thing is dumb as fuck, but there aren't near enough people poking fun at the fact that this dumbass also thinks that cartels are just going to casually toss millions, to tens of millions of dollars of drugs over a wall without any plan of reception on the other side, just "ok, America, here's your drugs, enjoy, oh, also, you guys mind throwing some money back over for us now? We havent received any payment for the last dozen or so drop offs."

 

[Regiruler]

I don't think that's what taking a hit means.

 

[____]

At least he admitted "it sounds crazy"....isn't that a step in the right direction?

Spoiler

Lololol, what a clown

 

[AlStrong]

The Emperor's New Wall

 

[QuantumBro]

At this point, aren't the cartels using drones to transport money/drugs. We need to get some lasers involved if we ever want to Make America Safe Again.

 

[AColdDay]

He should be calling Hulk Hogan who has a lot of experience handling problems with The Wall:

That's part of the whole thing that makes this dumb. Not like you have to specifically point this out. It's part of the whole dumb package.

 

[Nerdkiller]

?

 

[hidys]

The famous steel walls with openings that can be easily climbed and with holes big enough to put drugs through?

Sort of like a fence?
