Trump’s Wall: A Monument To Bigotry and Hate

Read Time:4 Minute, 52 Second

by Gregory B. Gonzalez

From the moment Donald Trump announced his intention to build a massive wall that sealed the border between the United States and Mexico as a candidate in 2015, I thought it was the stupidest idea I’d ever heard- right up there with the idea of Trump being the President. Now here we are in 2018, and he’s still foaming at the mouth to build his monument to bigotry, his ego, and the delusion that the size of his penis is larger than the size of his thumb.

Even after having all three branches of Government under his thumb since he was elected, he still hasn’t been able to get his signature promise erected. Pun intended.

Trump has all of his base believing that runaway immigration is the evil behind all of the country’s problems, but the last time I checked, immigrants aren’t the reason farmers are choking on their own soybean crops, or why GM has begun closing down their plants, or why coal hasn’t made a monster comeback yet.

In fact, did Mexico interfere in the 2016 presidential election? Funny how Trump hasn’t tried to shift the blame to them from Russia. I mean, if Mexican immigrants really committed voter fraud, then why isn’t Hillary Clinton president?

Everyone with half a brain knows that voter fraud is only committed by white conservatives and that immigration isn’t the crisis Trump says it is. In fact, every crisis we’re facing today is pretty much of Trump’s own making, primarily because he has no idea what he’s doing. Sometimes I wonder if he wakes up every morning asking the same question: “What should I fuck up today?”

Be that as it may, there have been two new developments concerning the wall this week, one concerning a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to fund the wall, and Trump causing a partial shutdown of the Government due to lack of a spending bill that includes funding for the wall.

First and foremost, let’s talk about the GoFundMe campaign. When Trump first conceived of his wall, he promised his supporters that he would make Mexico pay for it. And of course his base of idiots bought it, just as I’m sure they bought into the idea that Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food.

But like a sexually unsatisfied Melania, instead of waiting for the Donald to follow through, they decided to do the job themselves. A former Air Force veteran and website conspiracy theorist, Brian

Kolfage, recently started a GoFundMe campaign to get the wall built. The site has raised $11 million up to this point.

Considering estimates for the wall are up to $24 billion, that’s not even a drop in the bucket. On the upside, it’ll cover maybe a couple of miles of border with barbed wire and a guy in a trucker hat with a pellet gun as a sidearm.

I don’t mind saying that anyone who’s donated to the wall is a complete idiot. Let me explain why—since I can’t use pictures drawn in crayon, using small words will have to suffice.

Trump claimed that he would force Mexico to fund the wall, and they laughed in his face. I mean seriously, if Mexicans don’t need any stinking badges, what makes people think they’ll pay for a wall that they would probably have to build on top of it? If Trump’s base really want the wall built, they should just do it themselves, but oh, I forgot—they don’t do shit work. Not even their own.

Then Trump backpedaled and said that we would build the wall and he’d have Mexico pay us back. Yeah, right. Have you ever tried to get a Mexican to pay on a debt he doesn’t think he owes? That’s like giving your gardener a $50 Christmas bonus and asking him to clean out your garage for free. I guess that explains why American banks won’t do business with the Trump Organization.

Which brings me to the GoFundMe debacle. Congress may not want to admit it out loud, but even THEY know that the wall is a colossal waste of money and resources. Besides, if they blew that $24 billion, what would be left to pay for their tax cuts and military spending? The One Percent would have to settle for only a ten bathroom mansion instead of twenty, and none of them with a jacuzzi in it. Poor bastards. Also, they’d probably have to take out the Starbucks at the Pentagon.

GoFundMe really needs to learn to prioritize its crowdfunding policies. It seems like they’ll post any cause if they can get a piece of it. But they are not really even the problem. The problem is the stupidity behind this whole thing. We’re not being invaded, and we’re not being oversaturated.

Donald Trump has just partially shut the government down because Congress won’t give him a measly five billion. He’s placing blame on the Democrats for it even though he said he would own it proudly only a week before. If you ask me, I think the dementia is setting in. He doesn’t seem to realize that he still has control over Congress until January and that people are gonna blame him for the shutdown as long as it continues.

Trump is acting like a petulant child, arms crossed and pouting until he gets what he wants. I’m surprised he hasn’t told Congress that he’s going to hold his breath until he’s blue in the face.

The Wall is nothing more than a monument to bigotry and hate, and if you support it, then you’re just showing off your own bigotry, it doesn’t matter if you think otherwise. Let me tell you why—if you let fear overwhelm your reason or compassion, then you’ve lost the very thing that makes you human.

I’d be okay with him holding his breath till he gets what he wants or waiting for bad cholesterol in an overweight sedentary 70+yr old to do its job, just saying.

Holding his breath would be a good idea Jess even if didn’t kill him. He would have to keep his mouth shut.

He’d finally get that huge parade for himself he wanted, with cheering and people lining the streets to see him. Too bad it would be a closed casket and he won’t be able to see any of it.

I’ve done some reading about the time when America was great, although it’s rather confusing because there are really no standards of greatness we can agree on. But I found one report from 1927 showing immigration from Mexico in the lead. No wall of course. That was a boom year too especially for the very rich. A great year for the great Gatsby I guess. But most immigration doesn’t come in across the wilderness and the data showing that illegal immigration has been decreasing for some time seems credible. Why there’s suddenly a dire security crisis and emergency that exists outside Trump’s head is hard to understand. According to NBC, most of the drugs coming in from the South come through the legal crossing at San Diego since a car or truck can hold more than some peasant can put in his pockets. the number of smugglers hidden amongst the refugees seems minuscule too.

They keep finding tunnels of course, so really, extending the walls a bit doesn’t seem to be much more than flag waving to rally the ridiculous.

…and rallying the ridiculous is a trait peculiar to Trump.

It’s the idea of the wall since I think it will never actually be built. I submitted an article a few minutes ago expanding on this. As far as the Go Fund Me nonsense, I am reasonably sure most of the accounts that are “donating” to this scam are phony.
