Yes, this is definitely completely consistent with all his previous statements about bringing back coal and making Mexico pay.
US President Donald Drumpf has told supporters that his proposed wall along the border with Mexico could have solar panels fixed to it. Addressing a rally in Iowa, he said the panels would provide cheap energy and help to pay for the controversial wall.
He suggested the plan was his own, saying: "Pretty good imagination, right? Good? My idea." However, solar panels have been included in designs for the wall submitted by companies.
"We're thinking of something that's unique, we're talking about the southern border, lots of sun, lots of heat. We're thinking about building the wall as a solar wall, so it creates energy and pays for itself. And this way, Mexico will have to pay much less money, and that's good, right?"
He added: "Solar wall, panels, beautiful. I mean actually think of it, the higher it goes the more valuable it is."

ReplyDeleteYes ! Burn the Mexican invaders with clean environmentally friendly energy weapons !
ReplyDeleteWait, a solar wall would need to slope upward to the north, right?
ReplyDeleteSo....less a wall and more a super awesome ramp into the US. Bonus citizenship points if you do high difficulty tricks as you enter....
They won't last a month... Nice to see North-Americans helping the Mexicans go green...
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican demolition teams will strip and sell those solar panels in no time. I thought that idea was to stop them from coming?
ReplyDeleteThey will come , take wall apart, cross border and sell panels for fistful of dollars - great way to subsidize illegal immigration 😂😂😂
Oh, but just think of what they'll do with the salvaged laser cannons !
