Trump has released his requirements for the US-Mexico border wall, and boy, are they ridiculous.
According to Fox News, the wall needs to be 30 feet high, it should be hard to climb or cut through, and it must look formidable on the Mexican side, but look good from the US side (because if you’re going to build a big dirty wall, you might as well give it a Better Homes and Gardens style makeover).
That is it. That’s all his requirements. MUST BE BIG, STRONG, AND PRETTY (for Americans).
I think that maybe, just maybe, not a lot of thought was put into this wall that's going to cost US tax payers over 21 billion dollars.
In fact, let's run through these requirements one by one to see how they stack up:
1. The wall should be 30 feet high.
I'm not great at maths, but even I could figure out that 30 feet isn't actually that high. It's basically just 30 foot long subs.

According to Fox Latino News, the average Mexican male is 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall. This is good news for Mexicans who want to pull off the ultimate trolling of Trump - you only need five of your mates to stand below you and hoist you up over the wall.
Or you could just buy a 36 foot ladder.
