A dear friend of mine who is much more of a Trump supporter than I am has taken it upon himself, in a spirit of missionary endeavor, to lift me up from the darkness of my Trump Disappointment Syndrome.

The other day, for example, he emailed me to tell me that the official border wall tally has passed 300 miles, with double wall in some places. He includes a link to supporting information from CBP, Customs and Border Patrol.

My friend does this quite often, and I wouldn't mention it but that this particular email included a signoff that made me laugh. Thus, quote from him:

And don't worry, the wall will never be torn down. When the next Democrat is elected president, the wall will be fortified to keep people from escaping.
