Trump wants a goth brutalist border wall with black spikes (no, really)

Lived across the road from this for a couple of years. It’s a public swimming pool. I loved it, but it would be fair to say my view is not universally shared.

I like that, too. It looks like it’s from the future, like the entrance to the underground city that people have to live in most of the time!

This is the interior. It doesn’t just look great, it also functions brilliantly. For scale, the high diving board is a full 10m board.

Only if he puts it around the White House, would I approve, and he has to close that tiny border with Bolton, Pence, et al, INSIDE. Of course, it would look even better if he painted the White House flat black. That would match his weltanschauung.
Sieg Heil, mein fuhrer!

That isn’t a high hurdle to clear. William Henry Harrison was a better president than Trump.

Modulor? As in this sort of thing?

One potentially interesting critique of this is that most humans are not 1.829 metres tall. In the United States, that’s the 84th percentile for men; and the 99th percentile for women. And so, for most of humanity, it is entirely too large…

I think one could make an argument that Harrison was the best of all US presidents, as being president seems to mean doing evil things and Harrison is the person who was president for the shortest time.
