The barrier surrounding Nancy Pelosi’s family compound could, I think, be called “Harridan’s Wall”.
I once read it described as “worth seeing, but not worth going to see.”
So Trump is Hadrian, conquering the Isles and needing a wall to control the barbarians?
A wall itself might not be of much use, but as part of a strategy of layered defense, it’s indispensible.
Hadrian’s Wall was built by the Roman military.
Hint hint, Mr President.
The British Series “Time Team” had a good episode about an archaeological dig along Hadrian’s Wall:

And a later episode for a dig at a different location:

I don’t know if was in either of these shows or another that shows a reason for the location of Hadrian’s Wall was partly due to a geological fault zone that resulted in a natural stone facing several meters high and unscaleable in several places.
Hope they’re not waiting fir O’Riley to build it.

Decades ago while driving from Carlisle to Haltwhistle just after dawn started to lift the fog, I suddenly came upon a stretch of the wall beside which a dozen or so men dressed as Roman soldiers were marching.
I think that it was a historical re-enactor group but for a moment I thought that I had driven back in time. England, Scotland and Wales have so much worth seeing. My four years there were not nearly enough to see it all.
