Build the Wall

Definition

An eternal, heavily hyped infrastructure project that seamlessly transitions from an "unclimbable, solid concrete barrier fully funded by Mexico" into a series of easily sawed-through steel slats paid for by diverting funds from American military family housing and school budgets. Serving primarily as a highly effective rhetorical security blanket to whip crowd enthusiasm into a frenzy, its physical completion is entirely secondary to the beautiful photo-ops of me standing next to a warm piece of steel in a tailored suit.
