        I guess drones can’t fly over the wall to deliver drugs.

        Sure! The first quote in the first image is from Walter Ulbricht, head of the DDR when the wall was built. the quote is "Nobody has the intention of building a wall.” Said about 2 mo. before said was was built…

        Next is Reagan's famous quote some 20+ years later. Then there is a quote from Willy Brandt (soon to be head of West Germany) imploring officers/functionaries etc. “Do not shoot your own countrymen!”

        Second image, first quote, from Erik Honecker (Ulbricht's successor) "The Wall will still stand in 50 and 100 years!" Next a quote from Gorbachev, but I don't read Russian. Something about life and dangers?

        Catch me up, is Mexico still paying for @realDonaldTrump wall? I heard lately about #TrumpShutdown the government because now he wants America to pay for his crazy wall.

        Have they tried flying a drone over it, or dig a tunnel under it? Wall = Stupid.

        At first glance I thought it said, “Tactical teams test President Trump's hair with jackhammers, saws and torches.”
