What does that even mean to accomplish? Even if it was “better” there are things like ladders. Is that to instill fear in the Trump followers left that the “libs” will come to hunt the republicans?

For a study in contrasts: Abraham Lincoln didn’t erect any extra barriers around the White House even when there was an actual enemy army within walking distance of Washington D.C.

How tall is that thing? It looks like it’s like 10 feet. You could just jump up and grab the edge (with your shirt as a cushion against what looks like a semi-sharp lip)

So, is that a challenge? I’d like to think I could climb that

It’s a solid wall, not meant to be un-scalable, but to block the view of someone on the inside.
So they won’t have to see very unfair, nasty demonstrators.

Is that as nonscalable as his border wall is? Because if so, I got some news for him…

Or the old Alley-Oop. This wall is vulnerable to crowds of greater than 1 person.

Still trying to carry the theme Kellyanne Conway set on Inauguration Day.

If the demonstrators show up, Donnie will already be cowering in his bunker.

That outfit was designed by felon and batman-villain-impersonator, Roger Stone. Maybe they should get him to work on building a WH wall

A huge government contract, 7-10 days of billable labor hours, huge markups on materials cost, and kickbacks to both Trumpy’s family and whoever scored that contract. Cha-Ching!

Looks like an invitation for some public art, frames already provided.

And from the last picture I think there might be a weakness.

I haven’t kept up with all the comic book movies. Which Batman villain is that?

Sinistar buttons? That would actually be cool, but they’re probably something mundane.
