Does this sound better than "Build A Wall" ?

"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and see it still."

Now, that would be Ronald Reagan. But to dismiss the comment would be to commit a tu quoque or ecological fallacy and to dismiss a sentiment because of its provenance.

Trump with his walls, bans, dissing, and groping really is a hateful guy.

That will be some job for his dumass, once he figures out how to do both.
