In the wake of yesterday’s terrorist bombings in Brussels, Presidential candidate Donald Trump has revised his controversial fence policy. He sat down with editors of the New York Herald Tribune for an interview.
DT: I’m announcing today that in order to truly make America great again, we need to take further measures to safeguard our citizens. Given yesterday’s attacks in Brussels, it’s clear to me that we need to build another fence between the US and Canadian border. This will further ensure the safety of our citizens.
HT: But Mr. Trump, this border is 4000 miles, almost twice as long as the US Mexico border. Why is this necessary and who is going to pay?
DT: It’s necessary because really Canadians are just Mexicans who know how to ice skate. Most of them are criminals and rapists and we need to stop them from coming into this country.
HT: Mr. Trump, with all due respect, the estimates for the US Mexico fence range from 10 to 20 billion dollars. This is twice as long so the total cost could be 40 billion dollars. Who is going to pay that?
DT: The Mexicans will pay. Trust me they will pay. I know how to negotiate and I know how to build…so trust me they will pay.
HT: Why would Mexico pay for a fence between the US and Canada?
DT: Like I said, Canadians and Mexicans are basically the same, except Canadians know how to ice skate and Mexicans know how to play soccer and cook Mexican food. So they’ll pay, trust me, they’ll pay.
HT: Mr. Trump, this makes no sense.
DT: Got to run. Big rally in Osh Kosh. Let’s make America Great again!
