If Trump insists, there's going to be another "Wall" on the world. Though he didn't say that the wall will be built with hostility, I think he meant it.
Let's compare the Trump's Wall to other walls on the world. According to an analysis conducted by CNN, the actual length of the wall will be 1954 miles and the height of it will be about between 9 and 16 meters. It will cost approximately about $10,560,000,000 USD, about 1/1000 of the money that the US government have. Though Trump said that it will be payed off by the Mexicans, well, who believes in that? Recently my favorite host of talk show -- Conan O'brien-- filmed a video about interviewing the Mexican people with the question "Will you donate money to build the wall?" The answer of them was quite interesting. Let's watch the video together.


There once was a wall dividing one country into two, the Berlin Wall. The length of it was 62.14 miles with an additional 41.01 miles fencing. And the height of it was 3.6 meters. The rulers at that time used the wall to measure off the power of capitalism and communism. Which means the purpose of the Berlin Wall is to draw up a line which is to symbol of a little piece of peace. No one can cross the line. And if you do, something bad will happen.

The longest and the oldest wall, the Great Wall of China, was started to be built by Qin Shi Huang in 220 BC. The actual length of it is about 13,171 miles. It's built by the army, citizens, conscripts, workers and criminals. It served as the northern limit of the Qin dynasty.

The building of the Hadrian's Wall begun in 122 AD. The length of it is 73 miles. And the height of it is about 5 of 6 meters. It served as a defensive fort and it's the border of the Roman Empire.

So, the Trump's Wall will be the second longest one, the tallest one. And to me, it will be the wall that is built with the most hostility.
