Letter: People don’t want to pay for wall

Published 10:54 pm Friday, January 26, 2018

President Trump, take down that wall. The American people don’t want to pay for it.   When you ran for the office of president, you said you were going to build a wall and you said you were going to make the Mexicans pay for it. You claimed to be the great negotiator, so get busy and start negotiating with those Mexicans to get them to pay for building that wall. People with common sense know that it won’t work anyway.

I had it in a previous letter to the editor that they put up fences to keep animals in or out. How high you want to build that fence so those drug lords can’t fly a chopper over it or even just use a drone? People know how to build a ladder, and animals don’t. There are over 2,000 miles of border to cover. Anyone with common sense knows they would be able to find a spot to raise their ladder and climb down a rope on the other side.

If that wall ever gets built, can you imagine how much it is going to cost the American people to take it down when they find out it is worthless?  Mr. Trump, be sure you get that cost into your agreement with Mexico. If you do this, I will have to admit that you are the great negotiator you claim to be. This would also prove that you are not the big liar that they say about you. I find it hard that anyone would vote for you, especially a woman. You implied that the way to impress the ladies you should grab them in the crotch when you walk by them. Boy, my mother sure taught me wrong. Maybe I should have gone to Trump University.
