On Sunday, President Donald Trump said that Barack and Michelle Obama have a wall around their house and America needs one too, albeit “slightly larger.”
“President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound,” Trump wrote. “I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!”
Trump’s tweet came shortly after he met with Sen. Lindsey Graham at the White House on Sunday.
After leaving the meeting, Graham said this about Trump’s wall: “It’s just not about physical barriers. It’s about other things.”
He added: “The wall has become a metaphor for border security. And what we’re talking about is a physical barrier where it makes sense.”

The Obamas bought their home in the posh Kalorama neighborhood in 2017 for $8 million after renting it for 2½ years. Their neighbors incmude the likes of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
The Obamas have since constructed a wall-like structure surrounding the property, including brick columns, a metal gate and guard booths.
A spokeswoman for the Obamas declined to comment, but in her book “Becoming,” published in November, Michelle Obama wrote that Trump’s embrace of false conspiracy theories had made her fear for her family’s security.
“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington?” she wrote. “What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk.”
This is a flat out lie. There is no 10 foot wall. It is neither a mansion nor a compound. It is a house in NW DC that very close to other houses and is much smaller than Mar-a-largo. https://t.co/KkngjQ4FiO

President Donald Trump is an absolute genius to come up with this one:- Let him get the Democrats where it hurts, and force them to practice what they preach.
The real name for Moochelle’s book should be, UNBECOMING.
The degenerate lying adulterer said the wall would be solid, 30 ft high and Mexico would pay for it. None of these will end up being true.
The intellectual depth of his argument is roughly equivalent to what one would expect from a second grade child. Drumpf is an immature petulant child.
It is astounding, scary, and sad to observe how his followers gobble up all of his drivel and appear incappable of enganging in reasonable analysis of the issues at hand.
crazykanoiy, not sure what coolaid you have been drinking, but please explain to me the logic behind your analysis. If a big wall in Israel is effective, and a big wall around Obamas house will be effective, logic will dictate that a big wall along the border will also be effective. Please explain your reasoning so us fools can get a clear understanding why your genius ideas are more intelectually sound than the average lay man.

” roughly equivalent to what one would expect from a second grade child”
Absolutely correct. The very same child who is famous for the phrase “The Emperor (a.k.a. Obama) has no clothes”
Why must this man continually lie? There is no 10ft wall around the DC home of the Obamas.
