Trump: We Need Transparent Border Wall to Protect People From Falling 60-Pound Bags of Heroin

[pbmus]

President Donald Trump outlined the specifications for his proposed wall on the Southern border in comments to reporters on Air Force One Thursday night, making the case for a “transparent” wall.

According to a transcript of his comments released by the White House, Trump was asked by a reporter whether he was joking about wanting a solar paneled wall.

Trump said he wasn’t joking, and added, “one of the things with the wall is you need transparency.”

“You have to be able to see through it,” he said, calling for a “steel wall with openings” so one can “see what’s on the other side of the wall.”

The president then explained that making the wall transparent would be necessary to protect people from getting killed by 60-pound sacks of drugs that could be thrown over the wall.

“And I’ll give you an example,” Trump started. “As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over.”

The orange buffoon is talking again....

1. This was not a joke?

He really SAID that?

WTF?!?!?!?

Does he think we have Americans strolling along the border on a regular basis, just loitering and being potential targets for large falling objects hurled over from Mexico?????

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????

[htuttle]

2. You stole the words right out of my mouth!

[MyNameGoesHere]

17. Boris and Natasha have been

Briefing tRump. What could go wrong with that plan?

[Warren DeMontague]

20. it could happen

best to be prepared. Maybe he should include a moat. With a dragon.

[demmiblue]

3. I know people say it all the time, but this really seems like something written by The Onion.

[The Genealogist]

4. Surely this is fake.

Surely, surely some clever person with an Onion-like sense of humor came up with this. A transparent wall? Bags of drugs flung over it?

[Ilsa]

6. See-through steel. Not from Canada! Must be American made!

I think Trump's brains are pretty transparent.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Star Trek Had Transparent Aluminum

Maybe that's what the resident was thinking about! (And I'm using "thinking" loosely)

[3catwoman3]

16. We are going to go forward in time...

...and get some of that nifty transparent aluminum that Scotty used to build the tank for the whales in the 4th Star Trek movie.

[marylandblue]

28. No joke transparent aluminum actually exists - Aluminum oxynitride

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride

Actually sounds like it would work great for his wall.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. no,no,no

it is transparent and then you cover the Mexico side with a sticky substance.

Then when the illegals come up they don't think there is a wall and get caught in the sticky stuff.

What? That makes as much sense as Donnie's bee ess.

7. Just found a thread on this - by reporter who was on AF One on trip to Paris:

Link to tweet

(His thread consists of 12 tweets...responses, of course, are...sweet!)

[Ilsa]

10. Holy F U C K. How did the reporter not start

Laughing and snorting and doubling over, peeing in his pants?

[Ilsa]

8. Trebuchet!

[DesertRat]

14. That's what I was thinking! He could say he learned about it France!

[smb]

19. Cow-tapult!

[Ilsa]

22. LOL Run away! I always laugh when I see that! Thanks! nt

[C_U_L8R]

9. The emperor's new wall !

It's beautifu

[Solly Mack]

11. I'll play along. We can take Wonder Woman's invisible plane, dismantle it, and use it to

build the wall.

We can take basket netting made from the invisible wiring from the invisible plane and attach it along the US border side of the now invisible wall to catch the falling heroin from the sky.

The solar panels will be attached to invisible poles evenly spaced along the border and will appear to be floating.

The mysterious floating solar panels will be the next big tourist attraction, bringing in enough money to pay for it all.

[pbmus]

12. And the Trump hotels will be placed strategically along

The wall to keep his investors happy...

[Solly Mack]

13. Of course!

[smb]

18. Build Invisible Solar Panels

By making them invisible, you can stack them up and the ones on the bottom will work just as well as the ones on the top.

[Solly Mack]

21. Trump would still need something kitschy for a tourists attraction.

An invisible wall doesn't rise to the level of tacky a Trump needs.

Maybe cows that can moo the star-spangled banner?

[Ilsa]

23. Spray paint the frames of the solar panels in gold!

He has to have gold somewhere.

[Solly Mack]

25. Good idea! Because he will want something gold-plated.

And bad murals.

[Ilsa]

29. We forgot: he'll want his presidential pic hanging

every 50 feet or so. And Time covers, too.

[Solly Mack]

30. lololol True!

[Takket]

24. someone just needs to convince this dimwit that air is transparent

so we should build the wall out of air.

[Initech]

26. Did he just watch the Truman Show or something?

[Kaleva]

27. Fucking Incredible Hulk is now working for the cartels!?

"The wall needs to be 30 feet tall — although “heights of at least 18 feet may be acceptable” — and it should prevent tunneling by going at least 6 feet below ground. "

[ProudLib72]

31. This makes me SOOOOO curious to take a stroll along the border

How often are these 60lb bags of drugs being thrown over? Is there a big "X" marked in the ground on our side where they are supposed to land? How many children under the age of 10 are killed each year by falling 60lb bags of drugs?


He is most likely repeating something Alex Jones said, and I'm sure that he is taking it out of context so that it sounds even worse.

[riversedge]

32. So, trumpy wants a see-through wall so we can watch the person on the other side toss a 60 lb bag of

heroin over, so we can get out of the way. ok doky
