We interrupt this Very Normal Day in a Very Normal Presidency to check in on President Trump's visit to inspect the various prototypes for The Wall. Here was a brand new episode of President Fox News Grandpa, where the leader of the free world got to tackle his number one issue during the campaign with all the expertise of someone who watches cable news five hours a day. Before you ask: Trump did not tackle whether Mexico is going to pay for The Wall, something he promised during the campaign, since he has already asked for $18 billion in American taxpayer money and we all know that nothing, including the president's promises, matters.

Anyway, once Trump touched down in southern California—currently languishing under the liberal leadership of Governor Jerry Brown, who has "done a very poor job," and please don't bring up that the state is responsible for 20 percent of U.S. economic growth since 2010—it was time to Rate the Walls. In this segment, Trump explained the importance of The Wall being "see-through."

President Trump discusses his preference for a see-through wall, and says it's important for the US to have border protection. "For the people that say 'no wall,' if you didn't have walls over here, you wouldn't even have a country." https://t.co/KIucZaiLZd pic.twitter.com/MhJlnF9v0q — CNN (@CNN) March 13, 2018

"The problem is you have to have see-through," said the President of the United States. The border patrol official next to Trump seemed to mostly agree with the assessment, so there's that. But then, of course, there was an explanation of The Fence:

"Now that's a fence—a very sturdy fence. But coming up, I notice—the first thing I notice—look how many holes are in that fence. Now they fix the holes, but it doesn't look very good. They just patch it with more fence. But you take a look at the fence, it's a very powerful fence—not doing the trick. Because they cut holes in it, and then they're patching holes all the time. I'm just looking—you have hundreds of holes cut in and patched. So the fence is not strong enough. It's not the right idea."

And there you have it.

But the day would not be done—could not be done—without a weird hyper-generalization about undocumented immigrants who cross the southern border with Mexico.

"Getting over the top is easy. These are like professional mountain climbers, they're incredible climbers. They can't climb some of these walls." - President Trump tours border wall prototypes in California https://t.co/6wAv8B1fSg pic.twitter.com/o5J15wKp7k — CNN (@CNN) March 13, 2018

"Who would think? Who would think? But getting over the top is easy. These are like professional mountain climbers—they're incredible climbers. They can't climb some of these walls. Some of them, they can. Those are the walls we're not using."

Mr. President...thank you. Later on, he gave a speech in which he announced a new program that is definitely for adults, not kids:

Just another day.
