A massive 200 Billion Dollar Sea Wall, built around New York to protect it from rare storms, is a costly, foolish & environmentally unfriendly idea that, when needed, probably won’t work anyway. It will also look terrible. Sorry, you’ll just have to get your mops & buckets ready.

Donald Trump tweet

There’s always a Trump tweet that will contradict his current stand on any subject. Wha”t better way to ridicule and criticize his proposal to build a wall from sea to sea on our border with Mexico than to recite this tweet?

Trump tweeted about the proposal on Saturday night after The New York Times reported that a six-mile-long seawall was one of the options the Army Corps of Engineers is considering to protect the Big Apple from severe storms that have buffeted the area since in recent years.

Superstorm Sandy proved that the threat against New York City from severe storms is very real, and being a seawall to protect the city isn’t a bad idea. Whereas there is no real threat of America being invaded by a horde of rapists and criminals from Mexico and Central American countries, and building a wall won’t stop honest and hardworking folks seeking a better life in America.

Constructing a six-mile seawall is a piece of cake compared to erecting a 2,000-mile wall. I can envision the seawall being built in a few years, but I can guarantee that a 2,000-mile wall separating us from Mexico won’t be built in a hundred years.

As usual Trump stretches the truth in his tweet, the report estimated the cost of the seawall as $119 billion, not the $200 billion figure cited by Trump.

Trump’s wall is costly, foolish, environmentally unfriendly and it probably won’t work anyway. Sorry Trump, you’ll just have to go back to the drawing board.
