The Donald said he was going to do it and now he is.
The Great Wall of the Rio Grande, the Trump Wall will stretch almost 2,000 miles (3,100kms) from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, putting a gleam in the eye of graffiti artists everywhere. Banksy is said to be drooling in anticipation.
The estimated cost of this stunning feat of architecture is anywhere between $10 and $20 billion depending on who you listen to. Construction time is also a bit of a back-of-the-envelope exercise but by the time an exhausted bricklayer slaps the last bit of mortar on it, it is probable Donald Trump will be around 90 years of age.
In centuries to come anthropologists will marvel at it and wonder what far-sighted genius brought it into existence. Maybe even an old shyster like Erich Von Daniken will propose some unlikely theory that the Trump Wall was built by God who arrived by spaceship with the blueprint and a couple of trillion tons of prefabricated concrete.

That would be interesting Theresa May running our country after greater impact and amazing popularity in England .This women has a stable nature of drawing problems in and dealing with them appropriately.
Our own politics seems years out of control with no end insight.
My Malaysian friend months back warned me on this instability saying people back home more lay back never get agitated like they do here.
Are we still hanging around this one? Turnbull and Friedenberg continue to lie to the Australian people. “The US Energy Information Agency recently compared the cost of energy from various types of coal power plants and renewable energy plants.” “They found that ultra supercritical coal power plants were about twice as expensive to build per unit of energy, compared to wind farms, and almost 40% more expensive than solar farms.” “Then coal power stations have higher ongoing maintenance costs, as well as significant fuel costs, compared with the wind and solar where the fuel is free.” Oh the humanity.
Another fine mess Turnbull has got himself into, Mr Insider, as POTUS Trump has just Tweeted re the Refugee “deal” Turnbull tells us WILL be honoured: ““Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!”
2017 is looking terribly like Malcolm’s “Annus Horribilus” and its only early February!

You’ve got to feel a little sympathy for Malcolm, HB. To all intents and purposes he thought he had a deal. Trump is highly erratic and impossible to predict.
Anyone who signs any deal with him will have to know it’s not set in concrete. But you don’t expect the POTUS to tweet stuff like that without warning!
I say, Mr Insider, POTUS Trump looks like giving you a lot of material for your blogs from here on if this one is anything to go on. It seems like we may face a drab year here in Australia with Turnbull at the helm. Turnbull was very lucky last night to be facing the astute Stan Grant on the ABC and not a version of the old “Gong Show” otherwise he would only have lasted a minute or so after his introduction such a wally he is!
darren says:February 2, 2017 at 2:25 pm. DOB. Yes we have had this discussion before some time ago. I hear you, I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I will state again I respond in kind. I don’t initiate the abuse but I will not sit meekly by and be abused each and every comment, which happens. The cons then claim to be victims when I respond in kind. I know I make a difference where it counts. JTI’s blog just keeps me Dismayed enough to keep helping real people.
Mate, youre achieving absolutely nothing with that. If others are rude respond with humor. Gets you further.

Hahaha. Legend alright!
On serious matters I’ve got the drum from Mike, my plant in Trumps inner circle. The deal looked done and dusted till a chap with interests in casinos got wind that Mal and Don had a side deal going on the green light to build a Trump Tower and casino here.
This chap, Mike isn’t sure who, had a blue fit and went with his grievance to a bloke called Netanyahu with whom he (the chap) happens to be very pally. Well! This Netanyahu bloke is on the blower to Malcolm and got right up him. Mal went to water and reneged on Don. Don naturally goes off his tits!
Mike says it’s all a bit fraught around the Don at the moment, because he between a rock and a hard place. He’s busting a gut to have a whack at the Netanyahu bloke because he is suss to whats been going down, but for some reason the bloke has the wood on him, so he cant or wont. They are a bit worried Don’s head might explode.
I’m don’t know if that is medically possible but from what I’m hearing from Mike, the Don is very close to flipping his wig.
I’ll keep you updated.

says at 1.39pm : “We have less debt and one of the largest GDP/per capita per head in the world.”
and then says: at 2.00pm: “This mob are a train wreck.”
Hey BASSMAN, I often have a chuckle when I see you tying yourself in knots, frothing at the mouth and bemoaning the economic malaise and the parlous state you believe our nation finds itself in; largely due in your view to the past and present administrations of conservative governments.
When challenged about your political bias, you invariably and lamely attempt to prevaricate by poorly presenting yourself as a purist standing above the ‘dirty’ business of politics.
Your muddle-headedness is on show, by implying ad nauseam that Australia is a basket case on the one hand, because the “looters”, as you childishly tag the conservatives, are responsible for:
• being the biggest SPENDERS
• the highest taxes
• massive debt
• greatest unemployment
• massive dive in business investment
• doom, gloom, etc, etc
While on the other hand you acknowledge that Australia has “one of the largest GDP per capita in the world” (read one of the highest average incomes per capita), which as you know indicates:
• healthy economic growth
• increases in productivity
• increases in national income
• increases in national output
• increases in the standard of living
• highest average income
Whilst the “train wreck” is obviously doing something right Bassy, you are obviously unaware as to what it is mate.
And that scrapbook of yours ain’t much help.
Sigh…………………………this is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad government…..getting worse.
Now this is the kind of collapse I like to see – http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-england-2016-17/engine/match/1034829.html! The Poms losing 8/8 in 3 overs to the Indians in Bangalore.
I think we may hear more of Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah in the future.
