Kristi Noem says entire southern border wall to be painted black to make it hot. Credits Trump's brain. No mention of "gloves".

This has GOT to be one of the dumbest Administrations in our history. If not THE dumbest.



"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the entire border wall along the southern border with Mexico is going to be painted black to make it hotter and deter illegal immigration — and she credited President Trump with the idea.

Noem spoke during a visit to a portion of the wall in New Mexico, where she also picked up a roller brush to help out with the painting."



DHS Secretary says entire southern border wall to be painted black to stop people from climbing it

Noem said Homeland Security would use black paint to make the metal hotter and harder to climb.

What a brilliant idea from the very stable genius!

"No mention of gloves" @CaughtInThe points out but have you ever come up with an amazing idea like injecting disinfectants to cure Covid or ended a war in 24 hours? I think not! What next, ladders......
 
The statement of motive sounds like simple trolling. Migrants usually cross at night anyway, don't they? The Post says it would increase the wall's durability, which sounds like a far more plausible motive. The images we see already have a fair amount of rust visible.

I'm still amazed that Mexicans never made an industry of hauling it away in sections and melting it down for scrap metal. Their government can't stop them, and in the past the U.S. government wouldn't have pursued them past the border. Now, I don't know.
 
I see a border
And I want to paint it black
No migrants anymore,
I want them to turn back

I seen the scum walk by
Dressed in their ragged clothes
I have turn my head
Away and hold my nose

I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I'll feel much better when
We shoot them in the back

I see a little dog
His tiny nose is black
I'll shoot him in the head
And post it on my blog

I'll take my cosplay clothes
And have them painted black
I'll hang out with the bros
And get them in the sack

She's too easy.

I would think drones would eliminate the need to a wall. But a wall is the perfect symbol for this administration hell bent on building fortresses and prisons.
 
Beat me to it, well done
 
Trump gots good iders and I likes this one so stop wit the TDS and hatred cuss it makes me mad y'all.
 
What's the tariff on steel again? That wall is gonna make America broke for generations. And it's gonna make the steel industries in Canada and Mexico boom. Say, is there import duties on paint? How many feet of a thirty-foot steel wall will a gallon cover?

This administration is operating on the premise that American people are idiots that can be told any lie, no matter how stupid.
 
Once you go black, they have to go back.

Btw, at least in this section, the fence is already dark brown. Trump must have had a "donor" make a “request” for the Government to buy paint.

Painting it black won't make it hotter than rust. I've worked on weathering-steel bridges that were so hot you couldn't kneel on it for long. Fried an egg on one- it took awhile but the egg cooked.

Maybe they should paint the wall camouflage so Mexicans can't find it.

I have seen water boil in a junkyard (El Paso) and questioned if I really needed that part today. Do not worry (says people in the south) it's a dry heat.

Paint tunnels on it so Mexicans keep bumping up against it like flies on a windowpane.
