На официальном сайте Министерства нацбезопасности знаменитая "The Wall" безграмотным образом утратила артикль и превратилась из реального объекта в некий эфемерный метафизический символ.

DHS is committed to building wall and building wall quickly. We are not replacing short, outdated and ineffective wall with similar wall.
FACT: Prior to President Trump taking office, we have never built wall that high.

"And that's it, that's the key to enlightenment, which is, it's like that's why, it's like such a potent motif of civilization - it's the wall. It's like the, the Great Wall of China, and the Wall of Jericho and the Berlin Wall, and the Wailin' Wall. Now you see the Jews, they've almost got it, an't they? What with the old rockin' and that, and you know, just that six inches away and they'd be there, they'd have won the fuckin' race, they'll be there, you with me?"
