Trump’s aides too scared to tell him about ‘the ladder’

President Trump’s aides are frantically trying to work out how to tell their boss about ‘the ladder’ and how it is on sale for $9.99 at all good Mexican hardware stores.

“There’s no easy way to break it to him that his $8,000,000,000 wall can be scaled with a $9.99 ladder” confided a desperate aide who wished to remain anonymous.

“Just this morning Donald looked out the Oval Office window as a Mexican gardener climbed up a ladder to prune a tree. We all held our breath as he thoughtfully opened his mouth. Fortunately it was a false alarm and he just had a spot of wind.”

The aide said it was just a matter of time before Trump put 2 and 2 together but there was still hope he would get ‘5’.
