Being the cold-hearted man of action that I am, ice water running through my veins - I was neither offended nor surprised when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President and build his entire campaign around the single issue: "Build a Wall to Keep The Bad Immigrants Out".   We have a well documented history (no pun intended) of reacting to immigrants out of fear.   Gangs of New York style welcoming committees.  Political parties, like the Know-Nothings, organized singularly to keep America white.  You can't get too disgusted by it, or you'd be disgusted all the time, and would have no time left for anything else.

I was quite shocked at the stupidity of this “wall” solution and the apparent gullibility of his supporters, though.  A WALL. Seriously. I read a poll on the Business Insider (It sounded like the Onion, and I am still skeptical of the source, but Business Insider actually published this thing) that said something like 32% of Trump supporters actually approved of building a wall along the Atlantic coastline of the US to prevent illegal immigration from the Middle East. I would really like to get my hands on the mailing list for this 32% so I could start selling them some "male enhancement vitamins", but I think Alex Jones may already be doing that.  Anyway, if that were even partially true, it would be shocking enough;  my wife and I have been watching the Apprentice for years, and the ongoing discussion about Trump was: "Is he a skilled con man, or is he really, really stupid?"  I thought I had settled on con man, until budget discussions about the wall started.

No one with two spare brain cells to rub together ever believed that Mexico was going to pay for this wall.  No one. On either side.  Even neo-nazis on Stormfront are saying "let's let people think Mexico is going to pay for it, and then actually use food stamps and Planned Parenthood money."  Or was that Steve King (R) from Iowa?  Sometimes I get them mixed up.  

I have a solution that will work for everyone, however.  We can start work on the wall right away and have it completed before mid-term elections next week.  My proposal is to use new technology, great technology. The best technology.  To create an invisible force field - powered by spiritual energy generated by 24/7 staff of Trump Volunteer Militia.  The Republican Jesus, responding to the continuous and powerful prayers of the faithful ("for whenever two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in their midst") will be able to shield America from all "Bad Hombres".   Selectively, he could let "Good Hombres" in.  Best of all, I have figured out how Mexico can pay for all this with an anonymous digital currency that I just created - and it really is a great deal. Psychic energy costs WAY less per linear foot than concrete and steel, it won't ugly-up the landscape. It is 100% effective against Al Qada and ISIS.  And smells like strawberries.

Let’s face it.  That 32% we were talking about.  They are smart enough to recognize a good plan when they see it.
