Kristi Noem Agrees to Implement Trump's 'Black Border Wall' Idea

The 'Black Wall' Initiative

• 🎨 Kristi Noem announced a plan to paint the southern border wall black, an idea attributed to Donald Trump.
• 💡 The rationale behind painting the wall black is that darker colors retain more heat, making it too hot to climb.
• 🤡 Critics have likened this plan to cartoonish ideas, such as those from Wile E. Coyote or comedy sketches.

Noem's Press Briefing and Implementation

• 🎭 Noem, dressed as a border patrol agent and then a painter, presented the plan at a southern border press briefing.
• 💰 The American taxpayer is funding Noem's activities, which are described as playing dress-up and make-believe.
• 🚶‍♀️ Following her announcement, Noem reportedly grabbed a paint roller and began implementing the plan.

Border Patrol's Rationale and Criticism

• 🛡️ Border Patrol Chief Mike Banz suggested the black paint would also protect the wall from rusting.
• 🧐 The speaker disputes this, arguing black paint will only hide rust initially and will fade and chip due to the desert heat and metal surface.
• 🛠️ The plan is criticized for lacking practical consideration, with suggestions that construction workers should be consulted.

Predicted Failure of the Initiative

• ⏳ A prediction is made that within six months, the black paint stunt will fail, with the paint chipped, rust showing, and heat retention diminished.
• 📉 The speaker anticipates reporting on the failure of this initiative, highlighting the perceived lack of foresight.
