I know Trump frequents this forum, so I hope he hears about this plan and gives it some thought. With some of the other hairbrained ideas he has come up with, this one seems absolutely logical !
Maybe this product will inspire Trump to call for a wall made of Legos. So easy that all of the little children of Trump supporters could put it together! They could also sprinkle some random Legos around on the ground, since any parent knows stepping on those little blocks is very painful and would likely deter people from wanting to get close to the wall in the first place.

That looks like a really cool toy but it should come with a few army guys with high powered guns and flame throwers to be perched on top to repel those that would try to break through the wall or go over.



I like the bobble heads they also offer.

That is true. Lego's patent ran out some years ago. I thought they were a more recent toy (my my youth, we had Lincoln logs).

They should at least spruce up the set with some airplanes for visas over-stayers. If they were really creative they could have a little lego government guy wheeling money away from crumbling lego infrastructure over to the wall while some brown lego guys just walk around it.

They could even have a skyscraper filled with well-heeled lego donors laughing at how they managed to fire up the Republican base with a stupid wall and kept their lego toadies in power without having to enact actual measures to stem illegal immigration that could hurt their bottom line.

I think we should bring back Erector sets! They could sell a 'Fence Posts on the Border' set.

I'm sure they can use the publicity, as I never heard of them before until this article.
yup, they're probably loving all the sudden website visitors.
