How to Pay for Trump's Wall: make Iraq and Afghanistan pay for it!
It seems that Donald Trump is having trouble getting it up.
The wall, I mean. The Mexicans aren't paying for it, the Democrats aren't voting for it, the Proud Boys are too proud to lift bricks, graffiti artists aren't even stockpiling paint.
Biding our time hasn't helped. According to the theory of "continental drift" the Grand Canyon should have moved to the border by now, but it hasn't because science is a lie.
I think the answer is to get Iraq and Afghanistan to pay for it. It's only fair when you consider how much money we spent liberating them.
I'd go into the numbers, but I don't want to make your eyes glaze over. Instead I will show you pictures of how much is owed to us.
Let's start with the Dragon Hoard Index, which suggests we visualize large amounts of money by using J.R.R. Tolkien's illustration of a dragon's treasure hoard:
Forbes Magazine, looking at the above illustration, calculated that it adds up to $14.7 billion.
Trump's Wall costs maybe half of that. Let's say the smaller pile in front, the one the Dragon is using as a comfy cushion. (Warning: piles of coins are not as comfortable as they appear.)
To show what Iraq and Afghanistan owe us, I would have to copy and paste the above picture 58 times, and our liberal-bias forum software does not allow that.
Instead I'll show you this picture, which dates from 2012.
Those green squares are piles of 100 dollar bills, and those things at the upper-right corner are a football field, and a truck loaded with 100 dollar bills.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
