Does anyone have the lowdown on the BLACK wall thing?

[Newest Reality]

Why is Trumpty Dumpty insisting that the wall be painted black? Is it in homage to the Grim Reaper?

Is the Stones' song looping endlessly in that abysmal, cold dark cavern of what we might cautiously call his "mind"? Does the eyesore for the local residents at the American Barrier of Madness give him some sort of satisfaction, because it will sure stand out?

If so, then I want a new National Anthem!

Anyway, what's with that? Is black the new red?

1. Okay

The black coating/paint can absorb the heat, making the fence hot to the touch, and in Trump's(Stephen Miller) mind will deter people from trying to climb over it.

In other words just something that inflicts pain...

4. makes sense. If I owned property adjacent - I would think it would be a horrible eye sore.

9. As opposed to the what? That rustic, old fourth-reich charm it has now?

10. Won't work like he thinks!

A flat black coating will RADIATE heat better than a mirror polish. A rusty piece of iron will stay cooler in the sun, than polished chrome "brightwork". Try it for yourself and see!

2. He or his buddies own stock in a paint company??

11. I thought of that, too.

Follow the money.

We can count on corrupt cabal cronies creatively cashing in on caustic campaigns to corrode the commons constantly.

12. Ha. Isn't the fencing metal? I would think paint

For metal a lot more than run of mill paint. He outplayed us on this one. Just using fake emergency $$

3. OK. I'm a-break it down to make this simple for you. The wall is gotta be transparent so we can see

thru so we can tell what the bad guys be doing. And it is gotta be black so the bad guys can't see thru so the bad guys can't tell what we be doing. So we need to paid the two sides of it different. We paint our side with transparent colored paint so we can see thru. And we paint the other side black so the bad guys can't see thru

8. That's a befitting tribute

to Vlad the Impaler, no doubt. I'll bet that he was one of Terrorump's most admired role models, too.

16. I think this is more what he expects, if the targets are brown. Bastard.
