Letter: Build the wall around Trump
(Jacquelyn Martin | The Associated Press) President Donald Trump waves as he leaves the Rose Garden of the White House after speaking and taking questions from the media after his meeting with Congressional leaders on border security, Friday, Jan. 4, 2019, at the White House in Washington.
After listening to President Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers explain that $5.6 billion is pocket change compared with the total budget in the trillions of dollars, I would like to remind our politicians (especially Trump) that the average American wage earner will not earn a billion dollars with a lifetime of work.
The only wall I would approve of is one built around Trump. High enough that he can't get out, and soundproofed to contain his inane rhetoric.
