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.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

Blue States Are Taking A Page Out Of Trump's Playbook With Alerts About SNAP Benefits

President Donald Trump and his administration are facing criticism as blue states post alerts about the loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
