What's the point of being the smartest person in the room if you're just going to use your intelligence to fleece the rubes through illegal means and then get caught? The whole donate to the build the Wall scheme was clumsy and easy for law enforcement to identify as a scam. Saul Goodman would've been shaking his head at the laziness of it.

The wall itself has always been such a blatantly and obviously bad scam. Back when I first noticed people were taking the idea seriously I started asking them how they could trust the government they mistrusted for everything else to actually build and maintain such a wall. (The latter part being the biggest issue, it's a multi-generational commitment.)

The question was poorly received, of course.

But ignorant people love symbols more than reality.

No need to explain the "Be-you-ti-ful Wall" was breached two weeks after the contractors left the work site.

It's just the belief in the Wall's strength that is meaningful to the MAGAs.

Even better...have a painting of Trump in a suit of armour with a lance standing on top of the Wall. The rubes would pay $49.99 for that one.
