Trump and all "wall" supporters simply refuse to accept reality
But see, symbolic Right-wing "virtue" signaling (it's a stretch to call this a virtue) with no meaning behind it is absolutely what far-Right-wingers love. They don't care about facts or reality, they just care about being told what they want to hear.

Trump of course already proved how stupid he was, how he hadn't thought anything through, when he disproved himself in seconds:
Trump has also claimed that no one would ever use a ladder to go over his wall because “there’s no way to get down.” After pondering the question for a second, he then conceded, “maybe a rope.”
Now here's where some of his supporters absolutely refuse to address reality:
But the biggest practical problem with a wall is its opacity. In fact, many Border Patrol agents oppose a concrete wall for precisely this reason (albeit quietly, given that they were also some of Trump’s biggest supporters during the election). “A cinder block or rock wall, in the traditional sense, isn’t necessarily the most effective or desirable choice,” Border Patrol agents told Fox News. “Seeing through a fence allows agents to anticipate and mobilize, prior to illegal immigrants actually climbing or cutting through the fence.”
The agency is already desperate to switch out the nontransparent landing-mat fences in use in some places. These metal sheets were adapted from helicopter landing pads left over from Vietnam, and while inexpensive, they are ill-suited to their purpose. Popular Mechanics described these parts of the fence as “obsolete, in need of replacement,” noting that they “can be easy to foil since Border Patrol agents can’t see what’s going on on the other side.” If a wall slows down agents as much as it does smugglers and migrants, it provides no advantage on balance.
Trump's "maybe a rope" quote is one of the best political quotes of all time. It shows that he literally didn't think about the practicality of a wall at all before he campaigned with it, and then got on stage to talk about it. He didn't consult with anyone, nothing.
He literally didn't even think about the wall realistically until he was onstage talking about it. What an idiot.
This is who the right-wingers elected. The main thrust of his campaign was a half-baked idea that meant nothing, and he disproved its own effectiveness onstage in public, and yet the right-wingers just didn't care.
Why is the Republican voter standard so incredibly low? share
