Donald Trump building his wall while uncle Sam, an important figure of freedom for america, is being weighed down by his money, age and by men stopping him ,simultaneously, the image of freedom and fairness of the USA is fading.
Donald Trump, the president of America has decided to build a border between the marvellous Mexicans and the Amazing Americans.
Trump stopping Americans from going to the other side of his wall
Trump is making everybody loan him money so he can build his wall.
Donald Trump building the wall to keep away Mexico
After making his promise just over two years ago at the election, President Donald J Trump makes the calamitous decision to finally make a start with constructing his arguably unneeded wall that is predicted to cost a ridiculous price of between 12 and 15 billion dollars, enough to eliminate around 10% of America's poverty, or certainly enough to fund the research for many life-threatening diseases such as Cancer and Alzheimer's disease. The real question to be asked is 'Should America really be using all that money on building a wall? Or are there things that may be more beneficial to them?'
What has America come to?
Do old trump builds wall to divide Africa and Mexico. Emergency handouts
Donald Trump is not helping America with the wall he's wasting it's resources!
America should stop funding trumps duplo bills
Everyone has a vision
Uncle Sam's vision is to keep America a rich,strong country.
Donald Trump's vision is to waist this money on walls to stop other humans with a different nationality to go to his country.
A spoilt baby named Donald Trump is still playing with lego trying to create his "perfect" world, having the people he should be helping pay to continue his fantasy. When does xenophobia become racism?
Nonsensical Trump hauls taxpayers money to the border to very little use, saving little money for a huge expense. He listens on, deaf to the responses of the public while congress shuts down but he's still there, undecided on what to do.
Blinded by his own wants, Trump starts to build his wall; Not realising the financial downfall of others behind him
( This is set in the future, sorry if its bad )
president trump uses taxpayers money for the greater good
Trump's Top Trumps
Trump's playing around with America's money like its a counter in a card game. Just like a small child trying to fulfil his dream while his country feels the effects.
Donald trump is just using up and wasting money for nothing. As its just keeping Mexico out, It is also a complete waste of time for him and America.
Trump is still stubbornly building his wall, although he has been criticised by many. There is a taxpayer behind him carrying a heavy sack of money, paying what Trump has ordered ande looking disappointed that Trump has decided to use tax money for this creation. The real question is, is the money that's spent on the wall being wasted? Or is there more worthwhile cause to use the money for?
Letting Large baby Trump play with his very big lego bricks whilst kindly uncle Sam brings him some new bricks.
Donald Trump is wasting useful provisions and his friend is staggering under the weight of his foolishness. How will everyone get out of this mess?
This is what I think 💭 the caption should be 😄 “ MEXICAN HATE” I think that the captoin should be mexican hate because trump wants to build a wall so no Mexicans can come in the USA 🇺🇸 , another caption could be “ MONEY CRISIS 😱” because trump is using TONS of money and people are not happy with it 😡 . I hope 🤞 you like my captions because I worked very hard to 🤔 think of powerful captions 👋🏻 Bye 0.0
Drawing by Kal. A liberal animation of a powerful opinion about the wall crisis in the borders of America and Mexico.
Donald Trump building the border between the U.S.A and Mexico, not letting anyone stop him from finally seperating them.
In desperation, President Trump attempts to call upon emergency funds reserved for the direst of situations. Uncle Sam, a personification of America's values, appears withering and redundant as he slowly carries the weight of the project on his back, to the indignation of clear-sighted lawyers.
“It’s a national emergency! If Mexico won’t pay, well hey, Uncle Sam shall take on that burden. But no worries my American citizen, it’s gonna be the most tremendous, big, beautiful Trump wall!”
Trump building wall of separation. Consequences to follow.
The smugglers can just use a ladder or a tunnel....think Trump
Trump playing with lego's trying to figure out how he is gonna build it and how
Trump is try to use money at wrong things!
Trump is really from UK on some islands I think in the north west part and he's against immigrants :) ROASTED BTW
An angry adult trump baby who no one likes
I do not like Donald Trump because he is racist.
I don't know why Trump want to build that wall. I think it's unnecessarily.
Im really sorry for the hard word is use. But Trump should really think what he is doing to his own country. :) KINDNESS MATTERS:)
Donald trump is building his wall between Mexico and America and someone is being stopped and weighed done by his money. Donald Trump is big, mighty and clearly very powerful.
Trump wants to build his unnecessary wall and waste other peoples money!
In the picture Donald Trump is building a wall separating the U.S from Mexico out of Lego which could suggest that he is being childish and immature. He is also sitting down which could represent his laziness and unwillingness to get up and do his job. He is facing Mexico and not even paying attention to the fact that back in America Uncle Sam is being weight down by the amount of money and pressure that is being forced on him since Trump isn't even there to help.
Trump (the spoiled baby) distracted playing with his Lego blocks (wall)blocked by his servant from the truth that america (Abraham Lincoln)is struggling to supply his crazy wants. He continues to dominate all others, his servants keep him from turning away from mexico "emergency" to the real issue; His countries needs.
Trump delivers wall promise from election with some differences and disagreements from the government on money
Why? First off Trump is acting very childish as he is sitting down like a baby playing with LEGO building a wall to divide two countries apart. This means that the fact that he is building it with LEGO shows that it can be pulled down as people could fight against it and break it down. Trump is also looking forward into a country that he has no control over and is acting as if he owns the world, not paying any mind to his own country behind him.
Speaking of behind him, poor old Uncle Sam is being stopped by secret services with all of America's debts heaved onto his shoulders. There's also an emergency sign next to Trump as he builds his 'special wall'. Is this an emergency?
Donald Trump declares emergency and denies money from the USA
Donald trump declares emergency to build a wall and doesn't actually want to pay #FirstWorldProblems
Trump builds "emergency" wall -- draining his country's resources.
Uncle Sam is representing US tax payers while Trump is busy plotting his plan to build his 'big, beautiful, wall'.
By Kal, the cartoonist at the Economist.
Donald Trump is wasting the government's money for no reason. American politician's think that it is a waste of time and money to build a concrete wall between two border's. Even if there would be a border Mexican people can take a boat and go around the border !!! I was in France the other week and there was a house between the French and Swiss border. Trump is basically saying that building a wall between a border doesn't really matter; what about the family in that house??? They wouldn't like to have a wall built into their house so it is split into two halves so why do it to the Mexican and American border. It would be harder to cross the border if you lived in America and had a job in Mexico.
Trump is playing around and waisting money - the government doesn't even want him to build a wall. He doesn't know what he is doing and he is against immigration, even though he is not admitting it.
Donald Trump is building a wall while, Uncle Sam is carrying money.
Donald Trump saying the statement 'I will build a wall separating Mexico from USA,' and now poor old Sam is being trapped by money and protests. And if it's not Sam it's the tax payers. What shall happen next? Does the Statue of Liberty have any meaning?
Trump planning his future since he was a baby. Here you will see three year old Trump (with his lego bricks) planning his future wall to split Mexico and The USA.
Absurd ideas from el Presidente.
The man impeded by the heavy sackful of dollars is Uncle Sam a prominent congressional personification in America. He represents the government and the US in general. Donald Trump has a vision that a physical border will be built between the USA and Mexico. What will happen?
Wall- building expert Donald Trump classifies building a wall as an emergency ( so that he has more power to accomplish his dream of a billion pound wall! )
Donald Trump builds a wall between the USA and Mexico which is kind of a waste in my opinion because it doesn't solve any of the world's problem, but only causes another problem of argument and disruption.
Donald trump cries out "emergency!" To congress in hopes of retaining an extra 8 billion from his initial request, contributing to his little toy that he labels "beautiful", however he appears deaf towards the feeble pleas from our struggling "uncle sam" a symbol of America who was once known to be a businessman in 1812 is piled under an abundance of dollar bills taken from military foundation and snatched from drug aiding facilities. Will Hurd appears to be telling Uncle Sam to stop as it would be easier to address him than the likes of Trump, who seems ignorant and impatient to get his shiny new wall.
The little toy labled beautiful is the American boarder with Mexico
The American wall with Mexico
Uncle Sam struggles to pay trumps wall
Hmmm.... I think you should add more-there's a clue and guide on the drawing, it will give you more information! The word 'EMERGENCY',for instance, gives a clue!😊
Well done 👍🏻 wow 😳 you received a star ⭐️(I don't have any AT ALL☹️
In the picture above, Donald Trump (current president of the U.S.A) declared the wall construction an "emergency" as he uses the Government’s money, causing them to shut down for a bit. He plans to build a "big, beautiful wall" to border the United States of America and Mexico - keeping out the unwanted. Trump raised America's tax, in order to pay off the wall - see figure far right carrying "$" sign.
Building a wall- Trump's big fist thing to do (with the help of Sam's money to accomplish fame; money and true american citizens
Donald J Trump declares national emergency after refusing new money causing the US government to shut down
Donald Trump does not have enough money to build his 'beautiful wall ' so he steals the governments' money for his own need
Donald Trump builds his wall like it's a game. With no way of payment, he turns to his own government for money. He underestimated the price so he is still clueless on how to pay.
'Rich' Trump cannot bay billion dollar wall and needs Uncle Sam to save him.
Mr Donald Trump is building a wall made of bricks( for that moment,yes)against Mexico 🇲🇽 ,whilst Uncle Sam carrys a whole load of dollars for the wall. And I'm pretty sure he is being stopped by a body gard, as Trump thinks that Mexico should pay 💰 for the whole thing!It costs BILLIONS of dollars 💵,and also stretches ALL the way from America to Mexico! But they don't agree, so Trump decides to take it to a whole new level, and pleads to the government,completing it with a simple phrase-'it's an EMERGENCY'.
Trump snatches millions to construct barrier: vexed MPs swarm around him like furious wasps in shock
