#TrumpsAlamo is his own undoing. Some politicos stick a foot in their mouths once or twice, but Trump consistently kicks himself in the posterior by opening his mouth. And sometimes his timing could not be more self-defeating and self-deflating.
Brian Klaas — This is amazing. San
Antonio is as close to the border as Los Angeles or Malibu. Perhaps we should question the wisdom of building a wall on the insistence of a guy who doesn’t even know whether major American cities are on the border or not? Just a thought.
Of course San Antonio has a very famous wall, the primary tourist attraction and the city’s now ironic icon, The Alamo, the walled precinct breached by Mexican troops wherein a lot of arguably illegal immigrants from the United States lost their lives to natives defending their country.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett says Trump is “walled off from reality.”
What kind of walls do we need? We need more walls which celebrate culture and human diversity, walls which unite communities, walls which decorate our lives with joy. We need more walls like the walls of San Antonio.
Walls are for painting in some cultures, and mural art is a millennial tradition in the Americas kept alive by an irrepressible culture no wall can deter.
In San Antonio some of the best eateries feature mural walls. You can even find walls with murals of walls.
Every wall is a palette awaiting its true purpose. A new mural is a reason to celebrate. A new wall is a reason for a mural.
No wall should every be wasted, every wall should be an artwork.
Walls should bring us joy and enliven our existence.
And if you run out of walls, paint buses.
Does Trump know where San Antonio is? He should, his visit created a police discipline scandal when San Antonio officers wore MAGA campaign hats while in uniform with Trump.
People of culture go to San Antonio to see the walls. In San Antonio walls are celebrations of life and a vibrant culture which existed in the Americas for thousands of years. Walls are symbols which unify all people, and therein lies #TrumpsAlamo, our unification as one people and one human family. All the money in the world cannot build a wall that will divide humanity.
Visit San Antonio and see the walls.
The idea of a wall to divide us is #TrumpsAlamo.
#ShutdownHate. #ShutdownRacism. #ShutdownTrumpism.
