this, in the context of the novel 1984 ;
"faits alternatifs" ("alternative facts)
The whole issue about the wall, is a red herring. Building a wall will only create a problem for migratory animal populations. Construction problems of building on shifting sands and swamp areas are insurmountable, thankfully.
The vast majority of illegals in the USA enter the country on holiday visas, then overstay their visa. The notion that millions of people are crossing desert borders, simply shows how little Gonald Dump understands the key issues facing his government. If he spent the $20billion on fixing inner city problems he'd reduce crime/drugs/gang far more, than the stupid wall.
The wall itself will have zero effect on drugs coming into the USA, since practically all drugs come in thru' manned border check points, hidden in various ways. Stupid is, as stupid does. Just scary à world leader can be so ill advised by his staff.
In some ways, the new administration knows they cannot fix the illlegals issue, so they build a wall instead.
Then in four years time, he can say "I said I'd build a wall, and I built one." ( The fact building it, solves absolutely nothing, will be beside the point.")
The climate change issue, sees them using the Philip Morris approach of disinformation. i.e. If changes will affects your profit margins, then create pseudoscientific "evidence" to show the problem doesn't exist.
People made fun of JFK's Berlin speech turn of phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner".
However in the case of Mr. Tonald Grump it rings true, this president genuinely is a doughnut. In bodyshape, in mindset and in the spirit of his world view.
