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.
