President Trump announced the ‘solar wall’ in Iowa at his Wednesday rally. He said that the wall could almost pay for itself and Mexico will have to pay much less.
(WASHINGTON, DC) President Donald Trump confirmed during his Iowa rally Wednesday that he is considering building a border wall with solar panels. A source told The Daily Caller earlier this month that Trump raised the idea of solar panels during a meeting with congressional leaders. During Wednesday’s rally, Trump promised his supporters that he was still going to build a wall on the southern border to prevent illegal immigration and drug peddling.
“And yes, we will build the wall,” he said. “We’ve already started planning–it will be built.” “And I’ll give you an idea that nobody has heard about yet,” Trump teased. “We’re talking about the southern border. Lots of sun, lots of heat. We’re thinking about building the wall as a solar wall.” Trump argued the energy created by the solar panels could help the wall pay for itself, meaning Mexico would have to contribute less money to its construction. Trump promised during his campaign that Mexico would be footing the bill for the border wall.
If he does that, then literally that will be the largest green energy project in the world. I'm for it.
I had a laugh

I don't support a "wall" but we *should* be working on renewable technologies.
Robert James
Well it would still be a useless wall but a great source of power
Evan White
faggot

Illegal immigration is already down 70%. It's not even about a physical barrier but rather the threat of it not being a revolving door like before
Evan Adams
>Lots of sun, lots of heat. We’re thinking about building the wall as a solar wall. do americans really speak like this
Aaron Stewart
he should build a clean coal wall if he really cares about the average joe
Lucas Myers
>what is a political stump speech
Kevin Cook
Most illegal immigrants are visa overstayers.
Ian Ward
Nah, it's just Trump being a fifth grader
Joseph Sanders
Interesting. But losses in transmission makes it a bit of a waste (not sure how much). There's a reason why we have solar farms that are fields and not solar farms that are lines.
I imagine it'd be difficult to shovel the maintenance on the Mexicans though. Frankly seems like Trump just wanna annoy them until there's a war. If he actually aims to go through with this.
I'm interested to see if people actually go the right direction with green tech research if there's such a major project from the US government.
Noah Long
Illegal immigration has been trending down for the last few years. Trump only increased it a little but we're also now losing legal immigrants and tourism is down as well. People are just avoiding the US in general.
Jacob Wright
Weird how speaking in short simple dialect continuously and repetitively broadcasts a platform relatively easily. Maybe the Dems should take some notes after they figure out what their platform actual is
Christian Young
good
Caleb Foster
I felt Bernie Sanders kept a very low level level on his speech. But I haven't really looked at US president speeches a lot since they're next to meaningless.

He's still going on about the wall... how cute.

You're right, lets invite in millions of shitskins. Seems to be working great for Western European tourism

God why is Sup Forums full of so many cucks? Quit being so weak you faggots
Virgin losers who think that women are actually attracted to this pussy ass shit
Michael Reyes
I doubt he'll even get the money for the wall because the democrats in congress aren't interested in funding it and I'm not sure the republicans are either for that matter. It would cost a lot and construction would take a long time and the long term maintenance wouldn't be worth it so the next administration would probably cancel it and let the wall fall apart.

Like, a bollard wall (not a fence). > No, it's gonna be a very expensive electronic setup that's gonna need permanent maintenance and security because any passing taconigger can throw a stone and fuck it up. I hope to GOD that Trump wins another mandate.
Brandon Rivera
Musk profits from selling solar wall tech to Trump. Profits from selling tunnel boring tech to Mexico. This guy is a fucking genius.
Yeah, done by the CEO of foursquare that's a normie. Search for source in any of the links at and more likely than not, they're pointing to this.
Camden Gray
What? Your post makes no sense. But who expects a women not be pissy sometimes? Literally is pretty typical.
Zachary White

who cares
John Wilson
Should I be confused by this Trump really hasn't done that much but the markets still act like its a decree from him
John Price
Please user, point out in more detail what doesn't make sense.
Alexander Edwards
You might not know what a source is user, and not in an ontological sense. You might want to read a book once in a while.
Bentley Anderson
and this is how canada deteriorates into what venezuala currently is. thanks U.S. fucking over the economy of your biggest allies yet again.
Jacob Thompson
Mexican here. Live one block from the border. If he builds a wall it will get knocked down regardless of what it's made of.
Jayden Gomez
I think that's the lack of it rather
Gabriel Butler
Like you come off against then your last wall comment is misconstructed and then you hope he wins another "mandate" (whatever that is).
Isaac Russell
The wall will be built on U.S. soil so if you mess with it you're essentially declaring war
Nathan Hill
I read books all the time nigger
Nolan Ward
not that guy, but what's you problem with immigrants?
Zachary Myers
What he does makes me laugh both at republicans and liberals. I do not live in the US so whatever happens, it's no skin off my back. Currently, the most entertaining thing that could possibly happen is for him to act out his mandate and win another one.

and im guessing you're neither of those, right? do you live with your parents, user?

They're just going to steal the copper and fuck it up. That's what pieces of shit do.
Jose Morales
I don't really see where I say anything about immigrants, user. Nonetheless, I don't give a shit as long as they don't violate any law.

Nathan Smith
With Barron in charge of the Cyber, who will be in charge of the Solar?
Caleb Adams
Oh you must be a brit then, you mean "terms" as they are referred to here. Fair enough
Josiah Peterson
Things like this makes me think that Trump is smarter than people realize.
It increases solar jobs and value Creates the wall his voters wanted Then weakens liberals argument against the wall.
It can't be coincidence
Nicholas Martinez
>articulate so this is... the power of american education... woah
Christopher Anderson
It makes about as much sense as solar freaking roadways, we don't really need a wall to make solar panels
Carter Peterson
but then you look at his twitter and realize you should backtrack on that thought
Dylan Scott
No one will fund it when they will see the price.
Luis Jenkins
We need to create wall building robots
Jordan Barnes
According to some newspaper I read at the beginning of 2016, Bernie had the equivalent of an 11th grader's level of speech. Trump had like a 5th or 6th grader. Hillary had an 8th grade level

Next thing you know is America pays fully for it, with Chinese materials and us Mexicans build it and Jews somehow benefit from it all. Then because it was MexiChinese made it starts crumbling in 2 years and we go back to square 1.

>build a wall of solar panels that basically induce massive heat and blindness in any Mexican trying to get near them, and make the ground unbearable to step foot on or under to a certain diameter, while getting clean energy from it
Whose bright idea was this because it definitely wasn't Trump?
Gabriel Brooks

Brandon Green
Why not mount solar panels on the top of the wall and not on the side? It sounds very inefficient.
Blake Wilson
Oh wow, you figured out that a man who has come from bankruptcy multiple times, keeps staying rich while keeping retarded people confused about his wealth or their perceived lack thereof, and managed to play on the emotions of both left and right to win an election while getting free marketing from his haters, is in fact a smart man. Congratulations user. You have an IQ above 70. That's an achievement we should celebrate.
Lincoln Watson
Implying the energy produced by the solar panels won't be sold to mexico. They will pay for the wall, remember?
Daniel Reed
Thanks for living the American dream. And showing what makes America great is bright, intelligent people seeking ways to better themselves.
