Place Your Bets on the Wall!

1000 miles estimated to cost $27-40 billion.

I estimate 30-37 miles gets built before it is abandoned as a boondoggle with blame placed everywhere but it's real cause - Twitler.

Over / Under 150 miles

I'm taking the under.

and more border patrol agents. The pipe dream of all the Trump zombies of a 50ft wall like he said during the campaign is just that - pipe dream and a lie.

I know a guy who worked for environmental compliance on the fence and the biggest challenge is that the border goes through wild, beautiful, fields, mountains, bodies of water, ditches, protected parks and nature refuges. You can't just slap down a traditional wall.

He's just selling lies to idiots. A wall cannot straddle the border.

My guess is under 50. I'm expecting the workers to go on strike because they aren't getting paid.

Oh, I've been waiting to call it "Drumpf's Folly" for weeks now.
