Pete Buttigieg Rocks Iowa And Tears Down Trump's White Nationalist Wall

6. There Are So Many Things that Trump's Border Wall WON"T Protect Us Against

That it begs the question: What exactly WILL Trump's border wall protect us against - if anything? But protecting us against anything is not the reason Trump cooked up this whole cockamamy scheme. The real reasons for proposing the border wall are:

1) It is a potent symbol of bigotry and xenophobia and very useful as a rallying cry for white nationalists.
2) It will be very useful for lining his own pockets - the Trump organization will probably be behind the construction.
3) It will be a great big monument to Trump's overinflated ego.
4) It will be useful to deflect and divert attention away from the real problems and threats to our national security, like the Russian cyberattack - and Russian puppets like Trump himself, providing him with more cover under which to do Putin's dirty work of wrecking our democracy from within.

Kudos to Mayor Pete for courageously speaking out and calling Trump's bluff on what could be Trump's iconic signature proposal.
