Hopkins letter: Trump’s wall

So Donald Trump wants to build a great wall along the Mexican border, no doubt a great idea. Keep America safe again. Using that logic should we not also build a wall along the Canadian border? They are dangerous, too. And how about the East and West Coasts. A wall similar to Hitler’s Atlantic Wall in France to keep out those pesky Americans would certainly be a good thing. Trump is certainly turning out to be a great president, perhaps the greatest ever.
