[ Unfortunately, Trump is trying to sell ice water to people in hell, and their pride won’t let them admit they want the water. ]

Best quote I have seen today.

OMG that wall is tall enough to keep giant naked humans from crossing it...

Maybe we need to equip border control agents with gas powered cable operated mountaineering gear and razor blade swords to patrol it...

[ It’s infrastructure. ]

Critical infrastructure that must be guarded by presidential decree too....

Gotta guard it... like you would guard a nuke plant....

This will drive the libtards crazy, even if the whole wall ain’t solar they should make at least the parts near border cities solar to help, it would drive the libs that live in those cities frickin crazeee...

What happened to Mexico paying for the wall?

[ This has to be fake news. The Mexicans will break and cover those panels with rocks and dirt faster than they cross the border ]

Critical infrastructure!

They can legally shoot people trying to break into nuke plants.... We can shoot a jackass coyote tossing a rock at the panel.

we can buy a few of those automated turrets from South Korea that they use on their border....

Win-Win, we help south korea, sell power to mexico to help pay for maintaining it.....

And we get to call the left solar-phobes.

[ “Any power to The Wall will require coal, natural gas, diesel etc, not wind or solar.”

Why does the wall need power? ]

[ Trump received a proposal for a Solar Wall that pays for itself in 20 years with the sale of the electricity generated by the solar panels. It was submitted by a company from Nevada. Look it up. ]

If it takes putting solar panel on the wall to get the damned thing built as an infrastructure project rather than a security project, I say let’s do it.

“We can shame Democrats as “Renewable-phobes” if they oppose the solar wall.”

Yes, and then watch as they insist every construction project come with solar panels. They won’t be shamed, what they’ll do is make ‘build with solar’ a law, subsidized by our dollars.

Give a Dim the chance to spend $ and they’ll have us spending $$$ instead.

From the movie Maze Runner. Not a great movie, but the best wall ever! I knew as soon as I saw it, it's what we needed on the Southern border.

Of course, nothing in real life is unscalable, but I don't think too many of us could get over it. I couldn't, that's for sure.

Think you have not seen that border much. It is daunting.

Not free, we’ll sell it to them but at a more affordable rate than they get from their government. This is how Mexico will pay for the wall.

We sell it to Americans and sell surplus energy to Mexico.

What an incredibly dumb idea. So you build a wall to keep people out and cover it with solar panels that can easily be damaged or destroyed?

Hey if the solar panels are used to cool / heat the Boarder Patrols gun turrets I’m all for it.

We started talking about this as a joke - about what a box he’d put them in by making the wall a giant solar panel and here it is, reality! And it is joyous!

I want to hear him talk about how much green energy a 2000 mile long, 50’ high wall would produce and let the liberals tell us why it shouldn’t happen. If he did this, he’d do more for the green energy movement than every government official in history!

Joyous!
