Being of Scandinavian stock, I take much pride (with tongue firmly planted in cheek) that Ikea is stepping up to help Popular-Vote-Loser Trump<\/em><\/strong> to “Build That Wall”.<\/p>\n

From someone who has put together my fair-share of Ikea’s flat-pack furniture following their rage-inducing instruction manuals (“child’s play” my foot)<\/em>, this project is promised to be easy-peasy.<\/p>\n

Press Secretary, Sean “Alternative Facts – PERIOD!”<\/em> Spicer<\/strong>, has announced that Twitler<\/em><\/strong> is seriously studying the Ikea proposal for the “Börder Wåll”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So let’s take a look at how Ikea envisions its “Börder Wåll”<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beautiful, isn’t it?  (You gotta love the little guy’s sombrero)  <\/font><\/i><\/span>But one of its main pluses is that it’s going to be a LOT cheaper than the estimates of building the wall put forth by Trump ($12 BILLION), Ryan\/McConnell ($15 BILLION) and the recently announced estimate of $21.6 BILLION<\/strong> – AND take 3.5 years to complete – by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ikea is pricing this gem at a mere $9,999,999,999.99.  And it can conveniently be picked up in their iconic flat-pack (well, a rather YUUUGE one – or maybe several) at your nearest Ikea store. <\/p>\n

There is some<\/em> assembly required, but it comes with their familiar instruction manual.  And it only takes two people to put it together!  (Okay, so that’s NOT <\/u>going to help with his promised expansion of the labor force.  Oh, well – you can’t have everything.)<\/p>\n

And Ikea promises its “12,000-page instruction manual with easy-to-understand pictures makes construction child’s play.”  To illustrate how easy it is to put Ikea products together, a brief video (and I think we’ve found the ideal pair to get “That Wall”<\/em> built):<\/p>\n
