i don t know how he s going to get around not giving the wall. i still contend he will build a physical barrier, a wall. i think he has to. with the vast majority of the southern border being separated by a wall. the wall excites me. i like when he talks about the wall. it sounds like a sight to behold. like the eighth wonder of the world. here an even better wall. here s the thing. i think it s going to be more complex than that. quick response teams, surveillance. it will have drones. it will have all of these different things so that you have kind of all of the elements to be able to put it together, not just a physical barrier. he also said they would be a door. a big, beautiful door. i hope it s like the door in trinity college in dublin ireland. they have this giant door. you had to knock on h. you can get in.
