One proposal circulating among some White House officials in an attempt to fend off legal challenges to an emergency declaration is to claim that the wall would be built to protect the more than 6,000 active-duty and National Guard troops now operating near the southwestern border or deploying there soon.

“The Wall will get built one way or the other!” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday afternoon. — New York Times, 2/11/2019

If Trump is so desperate to fulfill a campaign promise that no one really wants, let’s make a wall! A wall around the White House! Some ideas for the wall:

A wall of empty stadium seats

A wall of pictures of his bald head

A wall of books — any books

A wall of medium-rare steaks

A wall of pictures of Robert Mueller

A wall of pictures of Barack Obama

A wall of video screens that play the Alexandria Ocasio Cortez dancing video on loop

A wall of germs

Ok, just a wall of ground-floor elevator buttons

A wall that is actually a staircase without a railing

A wall of VHS copies of the “pee” tape

A wall made entirely out of his tax returns

A wall of bad weather

A wall of sharks

A wall of tweets from his account criticizing other people, which can easily be applied directly to his administration

A wall of people ignoring him
