President Trumps carousel of preoccupations has once again spun back around to the border wall. This time, hes going global. On Tuesday, Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell claimed that Trump suggested building a wall across the 3,000-mile-long Sahara Desert to prevent African migrants from making their way into Europe. You need to build a wall around the Sahara, Trump said recently, according to Borrell. When Borrell asked Trump if he understood just how big the Sahara is, Trump argued that it cant be bigger than our border with Mexico. Borrell then informed Trump that the Sahara is far bigger than the U.S. border with Mexico. In any case, it wouldnt be very useful to do that, Borrell told the president.

He thinks the circumference of the Sahara is shorter than the US/Mexico border.

(42,755 posts)It takes a diplomat from another country to educate our "president" on how long one of our borders is. I can't believe this clown is taken seriously by anyone. If the people close to him cared anything about him they would have him put under professional observation.

about the country, just those regular paychecks because they know they can't get another comparable job anywhere else.
Any who stayed more than a few months stayed too long as they'd have found out how unfit he was in that time. That'll show up on the resume.

(102,234 posts)across how many sovereign nations to build a wall in the middle of the Saharan desert? Did he somehow think that Spain bordered the Sahara? Or even Morocco?
I know it is futile to even try to understand what he was thinking, but. GEEBUS!

(115,681 posts)like Mexico abuts the US, and he is unaware that there is a body of water between them. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he thought.

(6,537 posts)Did you know President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican? President Trump apparently thinks most people dont.
Great president, Trump said Tuesday night at a fundraising dinner for House Republicans. Most people dont even know he was a Republican. Right? Does anyone know? A lot of people dont know that. We have to build that up a little more.
Trump then suggested using a political action committee to run advertisements letting people know that Lincoln was a member of his party.
Republicans frequently refer to themselves as the party of Lincoln.
A poll from a few years ago discovered that most people do know that Lincoln was a Republican.

(10,885 posts)very very dry, and sandy - very sandy. Did you know there's a lot of sand in the Sahara? Believe me, there is! And I think they use sand to make concrete, so they'll have a bigly supply of sand to build the wall. They won't even have to import the sand because tariffs and all. I wish I had all that sand when I was building my magnificent hotels and casinos. I wouldn't have had to rip off a bunch of sand vendors."
IDJIT.

(3,208 posts)that he thinks the only living creatures on this planet are humans. Disgusting! i also can see he places dollars and profits above everything.
So sad that he ended up with the top job in the US.
