WASHINGTON – A plan to increase the overall height of the fence surrounding the White House by approximately 6 feet, about doubling its current height, won preliminary approval from a Washington arts commission Thursday.

If we had a representative government that represented We the People, they would not need to do this.

We’re willing to protect the White House with a bigger fence, even though it holds nothing of value at the moment. We should be just as willing to protect our country with an impenetrable tall fence, to protect our jobs, our lives, and our way of life.

If you want it done right, on time, and within budget you will have to let Trump build it.

The underlying message here is that it’s NOT important to protect the American people by building a border wall, it’s only important to protect the elites.

“Nothing like a giant fence to ruin the view to the WHITE HOUSE.”
