Yesterday, I reported that Donald Trump had made a bizarre order that the entire 458-mile southern border wall be painted black. His reasoning? Black stuff gets hotter in the sun.
That’s true. But, as pretty much everyone pointed out, metal gets very hot in the desert sun no matter what color it’s painted, and the majority of attempted border crossings take place at night, so a black wall arguably helps would-be immigrants. But jaws really dropped when we figured out the cost of this cockamamie plan.
