    1. @xlr8r2010 No way Trump didn’t think of landmines. The other plans are just a cover. Mines are the most cost effective solution. You can bury a thousand dollars worth of land mines and just don’t tell anybody where they are.

    2. I don’t think that the international ban on land mines would appreciate that very much.

      ( not that Trump cares about things like laws and rules )

    1. Evil Lyn – How about a trench, constantly being filled with garbage, set on fire from coast to coast? Takes care of two problems and only creates three more. He’d make that deal.

    1. @CantonOhio 330 yeah, don’t think about the millions of reasons why you can’t put alligators in the Rio Grande.

    2. @CantonOhio 330 This is a war between idiots and smart people. Make no mistake who the smart people are. There is a reason Trump would never let anyone get their hands on his school transcripts.

  1. “I have one simple request and that’s to have sharks with frickin’ laserbeams attached to their heads.”

    1. @Brian Armendariz 😂 He thinks that movie is a documentary, and treats the White House like his evil lair.

    1. LET’S SEE HOW TOUGH YOU GON BE WHEN YOU GET YA MOM’S HOUSE SHOT UP FOR RUNNING YA DUMBFOUNDED BIG MOUTH.

    2. @Cassundra Wells now now, deep breaths. Bullets never resolve our differences. 5G is bad for planet earth, we should all agree to not turn on one another, and declare war on the robots trying to oppress us all.

  2. Dude really explored every way possible 😂 like ok so we can’t do this? …are you sure? 100% sure?

    1. @Missy Moonwillow Trump’s own words and thoughts are real news, Einstein. Up your writing game. It should be , “I HAVE never seen…..” No obsession: the majority of Americans are tired of Trump’s stupidity.

    2. Missy Moonwillow I will use your whataboutism, didn’t GOP also obsess with president obama that they would make him a one term president?

    1. We can’t take all illegal immigrants to jail, but we’ll take some of them. Thanks for your support mam,

  3. Jeffery Epstein… People?? Oh nevermind that was like years ago right? Nothing to see here move along…

  4. I am 71 years old and have been watching the news for 67 of those years. I don’t remember any other president who inspired the media to use the word “guardrails” every single day, several times a day. Perhaps the solution for Trump would be one of the cages from the border. Either that or one of those desert moats filled with alligators and snakes and perhaps a coconut tree or two– for ambiance and sustenance.
