I'm not sure how else to put this, but Trump has some pretty bad ideas. His pied-sky solutions are exactly what you'd expect from someone with no government experience. He's casually proposed war crimes without even realizing it. He has all the political instincts of a stoned teenager, and for this reason, there are a lot of promises he's made that simply won't happen ... starting with his signature move.

To be fair, lying was his original signature move.

Building a physical wall bordering the entire south of America would be so expensive that it would absolutely require congressional approval -- something that would take years of coaxing to do. And even if he somehow got independent funding (no, Mexico won't pay for it), it would take even more time to work out all the legal and environmental red tape that comes with erecting a structure across multiple private properties and state lines. It is a logistical farce, a baby fantasy (something most of us already knew). Which is why Trump has already begun to walk back his rhetoric about it.

Other things Trump is taking back: his promise to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants ... which has been reduced to only include immigrants who have been charged with a crime. Only even those reduced numbers are still deemed a logistical nightmare by the Department of Homeland Security, which is in no way equipped to deport people on a massive scale or handle the endless legal hearings required to kick people out of the country. Yeah, you can't up and toss people in trucks and send them over the border like Trump supporters are no doubt picturing. Just like how there's no goddamned way that Hillary Clinton is going away for crimes she has never been charged with. Even if Trump wanted to "lock her up" (which it seems he doesn't).
