In a last ditch effort to save face and placate his “base” against a rising tide of anger over his shutting down the government to fund his wall, Trump today announced that he has commissioned the artist Christo to “build his beautiful wall” – out of fabric. According to White House sources, it will be called “A Wall” and will be 30 feet high and made entirely of thin opaque fabric much like a similar piece he created Titled “Running Fence” in 1976. Instead of 5 billion dollars, the cost will be approximately 10 million dollars. The White House said funds will come from the National Endowment for the Arts, but a portion of it will also come from the government of Mexico as an “Art project jointly sponsored by Mexico and the USA to symbolize the need for secure borders”. Mexico agreed to contribute funding to this as long as there are no further efforts “to build that ridiculous wall he keeps talking about”. While some Republicans are furious, the vast majority and all Democrats are relieved to finally be able to “put this tantrum behind us”.
