We will now call the wall ---- "PEACHES"




President Donald Trump urged Democrats on Friday to return to Washington to vote to fund his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

And in the process, he came up with a strange new nickname for the barrier.

“This is where I ask the Democrats to come back to Washington and to vote for money for the wall, the barrier, whatever you wanna call it, it’s OK with me,” Trump said during a White House roundtable on immigration. “They can name it whatever they, they can name it ‘peaches’ — I don’t care what they name it but we need money for that barrier.”

I kinda like the name "Sauerkraut" - for the wall

7. We need a wall-naming contest! "Donald wants five billion for _____"

Some examples:

Call the wall "Putin." Donald wants five billion for Putin. This reflects the dance-with-thems-what-brung-ya philosophy.

Call the wall "grabbing pussy." Donald wants five billion for grabbing pussy. This has a lifetime-achievement flavor.

Call the wall "con job." Donald wants five billion for con job. This emphasizes the GOP attitude towards labor.

He actually thinks giving Dems naming rights is a fair trade.

of a hooker he once knew. I think he has used the word before when he can’t think of anything else.

We'll just plant peach trees all along the border and be done with it, and tell the MAGATs we built the Wall but it's made out of the same invisible materials that they use for the F-35. There, done, America Great Again. Can we just get back to living our fucking lives then please?
