Donald Trump has a peculiar talent for turning good ideas into bad ones.
This is related to his talent for salesmanship, which demands that he deal in superlatives and simplicities. An excellent idea such as securing the southern border with a series of barriers becomes a batty proposition: a single point-to-point wall (never mind the bodies of water, canyons, etc., in the way) with a grand door in it through which a dozen million illegal immigrants will be marched out over the course of 18 months before most of them are immediately readmitted, with these shenanigans funded in part by pesos extorted from the government of Mexico.
