Donald Trump Just Suggested Calling His Border Wall 'Peaches' and Now Everyone's Making the Same Joke

Donald Trump Just Suggested Calling His Border Wall 'Peaches' and Now Everyone's Making the Same Joke

Okayyyy.

As the current government shutdown over border wall funding is poised to become the longest in history, President Donald Trump demanded Democrats in Congress allocate the $5 billion for a wall at the southern border—a wall which is proven to be ineffective and which the majority of the American public doesn't want.

Semantics have played a large part in the ongoing impasse, with comparisons like "fence vs wall" and "concrete vs steel slats." However, Trump threw an interesting option for the wall's title in the ring earlier this afternoon.


Watch below:

The President said:

"I ask the Democrats to vote for money for the wall, the barrier, whatever you want to call, it's okay with me. They can name it whatever—they can name it 'peaches,' I don't care what they name it."

The comments indicated an increasing desperation on the side of Trump and Republicans.

With the latest absurd comment, everyone's making a similar joke.

Some joked that "Peaches" was a person.

Others got a bit more creative.

It reminded many of the song "Peaches" by—funnily enough—Presidents of the United States of America. They soon began citing the lyrics, and they're oddly fitting.

But jokes aside, the long-held fear by some that Trump is mentally unstable grew a little deeper.

As the shutdown continues to forge on and federal employees continue to work without pay, Trump's callous rhetoric is anything but peachy-keen.

Ayo Edebiri Hit With 'Death Threats' After Musk Shared Fake Report About 'Pirates' Reboot

Actor Ayo Edebiri called out Tesla CEO and unelected DOGE leader Elon Musk after his fallacious public comments about her.

In an Instagram Story, the Emmy winner said she’s been fielding “insane death threats” after Musk posted an outright lie about her appearing in the next chapter of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Because Musk often seems to be no better than anyone else at judging what is and is not real on his own social media platform, Musk reposted a fake tweet saying that Edebiri will not only be starring, but replacing Johnny Depp in the film.

Given that Musk is basically now the de facto leader of America’s far-right white nationalist cabal, you can imagine how his legion of fanboys reacted to this news.
