The Pastillon’s fake ad
for a “Börder Wåll.”

Pastillon
Assembling an Ikea bookshelf may
be difficult, but designers from the
satirical site The Pastillon have envisioned Ikea
instructions for a project that looks
truly back-breaking: Trump’s border wall.
They created a tongue-in-cheek
ad for a “Börder Wåll,” making fun of
Trump’s real-life proposal.
Less than a week after Inauguration Day, Trump
reiterated his plans on Twitter to build a
1,900-milelong wall along the US-Mexico border.
Construction could cost American taxpayers an
estimated $15
billion to $25 billion, though Trump says Mexico would
eventually
pay for the wall through taxes or trade. Maintenance
and hiring 21,000 border-patrol agents could cost an additional
$2.1 billion a year, according to CNBC and
an analysis by Politico.
From that perspective, the designers are offering their fake
flat-pack wall for a bargain: $9,999,999,999.99.
Inside, the presumably very large box would
include 471,612 boards, 313,329 rounds of barbed wire,
5,659,344 screws, and a single allen
wrench.
Next to the picture of the assembly materials, there’s a person
facing the wall with a confused look on its face. Building
the Börder Wåll seems like would be more
than a one-person job.
