The project will be known as Longitudinal Extensional Group Operation (Lego) & will not take long to build.
Despite your apparent love for him 3T, Donald Trump repeating a pledge verbally will not cause a giant wall to emerge out of the sand.

no but many thought he'd quietly drop it after taking office, now he's mentioned it he'd better get on with it.
ttt. You're 4 hours behind , see Naomi's thread.
You're 25 mins behind yourself Anne.
Trump has 1460 days as President.
The border is 1900 long.
So even if they completed a mile per day, the wall will still not be completed by the time he leaves.

They could built it smaller to finish it within his Presidency, but 'Trump's Kerb' doesn't sound very impressive.
I imagine what will happen is the existing fence will be extended, and in a couple of places become concrete for the President to stand in front of for TV cameras.

Oh and we'll get another 17 3T threads telling us how great it is :P.
I suspect he has not thought this through.
The cost to build and maintain it will be prohibitive : Mexico will certainly not pay for it and even if it is somehow at least partially built it will be taken down again
This website says that the wall/fence could cost $6.5 million per mile to build, with the entire cost amounting to about $14 billion. Realistic or not?

The cost is open ended as it would need to be maintained for as long as it exists. With Mexico, of course, paying all that and yet still, according to the hippo, 'benefitting' ;-)
It's complicated: at least he admits that ...
He will certainly create employment, apart from those employed to build it, there will be all those rebuilding the parts that the migrating Mexicans will blow up.
Yeah and those Mexicans can't climb can they ?
