I heard not only is the Don gonna biuld the wall with Chinese materials, but he's also gonna contract a bunch of chinamen to build it because he said they know how to build walls, and the last wall they built was so good NO Mexicans were able to get in.

He will have a hard time with that one when you consider that from 1916 until the nuclear era, most US warships burned oil (the submarines used diesel). In fact, USS TEXAS and USS OLYMPIA may be the only US NAVY ships afloat that ever burned coal (and TEXAS may have been converted to oil, at some point--I forget, now).
So if The Donald plans on a coal burning navy, it will have only two ships, for now, one a Spanish-American War era armoured cruiser and the other a First World War battleship--both of which are hopelessly obsolete.

It's simple and greener. And a sailing ship is completely independent of any port - it never needs refueling. Also, making all the ropes would stimulate the hemp industry.

So you're saying that 10% of the entire energy industry don't deserve a job or food or shelter?
