Donald Trump seems to be a bit confused when it comes to just about everything, especially when the subject is his infamous border wall that would act as a barrier between the U.S. and Mexico. But Trump also seems to think just because he isn’t calling it a “wall,” that he can trick Democrats into funding the atrocity. On Tuesday night, in the middle of his Big Mac dinner, Trump took to Twitter to explain his vision of the “wall”. But now technically it doesn’t really seem much like a wall. “The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it. It will be beautiful and, at the same time, give our Country the security that our citizens deserve. It will go up fast and save us BILLIONS of dollars a month once completed!” Trump tweeted.

These slats, as Trump calls them, sound more like jail bars than anything else. Which would be quite apropos, since many of Trump’s associates and hopefully him also, will eventually end up behind some bars.
