Okay...guys. I normally don't make political polls, but this is getting ridiculous on a new degree...
As probably many others, I heard about Donald's idea of building a wall with Mexico and making Mexico pay for it. I thought this was just one of those retarded things would-be elected presidents said to appeal to...erm...the less than bright audience of voters. The news barely bothered to get a reaction from Mexico, and honestly: why should they?
Later, Trump repeated that statement when he was the sole republican candidate left. In fact, he had a meeting with the Mexican president (Enrique Peña) discussing this. This sparked my interest a bit, but that was until it was revealed that "the cost wasn't discussed at this time". But hey: at least Mexico's stance was clear. At least to the non-US* people: they weren't going to pay for the wall. Which is obviously only logical: you won't pay for your neighbor's wall either when he feels like building one next to your garden. And this is on a much, MUCH larger scale.
For some reason, this "little detail" of Mexico not paying didn't change Trump's promise. This didn't really bother me (I mean...if his voters are dumb enough to believe in fairy tales, they deserve a bunch of broken promises). But for some reason, he still thinks he can go through with this project while being the president. Okay, he added an extra word in his rhetoric, but it's nothing less of a "little detail": from now on, Mexico will pay BACK the wall. Meaning: at least initially every brick gets built with American tax dollars.
So...as I'm not American and not a fan of that blondy, my thoughts on this are pretty clear. What I'm curious about, though, is what others think. More precisely: what Americans think about the cost of that thing (no, you don't have to be old enough to vote).
I understand this can derail in a matter on the usefulness of the wall. However, this thread fulfills that goal pretty decently.
Thanks for your time to vote...
*I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but right before the 2nd Gulf war, literally the only people I knew who believed in the existence of weapons of mass destruction were American. Hence this poll: I wanna know if US residents have a different idea on this situation than everyone else.
