Donald Trump's "build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it" plan has gotten mixed reviews, to say the least, but maybe he's just in the wrong universe. In Game of Thrones, his wall idea — not to mention his enthusiasm for torture — plays pretty well, as demonstrated in "Winter Is Trumping," a fantastic Trump/GoT mash-up on YouTube:

On a practical note, the GoT wall — a dramatic 700-foot tall, 300-mile long ice barrier designed to keep out ungoverned tribes, ice zombies, and more — may actually be a more realistic project than the one Trump has in mind. The length of America's border with Mexico is far longer (nearly 2,000 miles, some six times the length of the GoT border), and we don't have a free, easily maintained building material like ice.
