How could I forget about Mr Trump, but I did, woops !!!

No one prompted me yesterday when I was wondering what to write about and what had happened recently.  I woke up during the night thinking of a good heading, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush", then it dawned on me that George W Bush was a past President and not the current resident of the White House.  BUT I actually did meet George W , by pure chance one morning while visiting the Capitol Building in Washington many years ago .   I was being escorted around the building by a fellow member of the IPA (International Police Association) when G.W.B  accompanied by our own Foreign Secretary, Geoffrey Howe, appeared from one of the meeting rooms, we stepped aside, said hello and off they went.  But back to Mr Trump (call me Donald) who is certainly doing a fair bit of tree shaking "over the pond".Lord help the poor Secret Serve agent who has to shout "Donald DUCK" in the event of an attack on his principal.  It is going to be very interesting seeing who comes out "Trumps" in this battle between a business man and politicians.   So he is planning on extending the wall along the entire two thousand miles between Mexico and the USA.  Granted it will not be on the scale of the Great Wall of China, a remarkable feat of engineering (which brother in law Willie from Chobham had to do a bit of pointing on when we visited it),  Even our own RGB found the steps a bit big for his long legs.  Might use big lego bricks or prepacked Ikea units as has already been suggested, but we know that whatever happens there will still be long sections where it will be a virtual wall protected by electronic surveillance.
The Chinese have their wall,  but the Romans built Hadrian's Wall in 122 AD between the Solway Firth and the River Tyne,  large sections which are still walkable if you have a few free days, further north there is the Antonine Wall, again built by the Romans in 142 AD between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde ( or Aldi, Granton and McDonald's, Helensburgh).   One of the more famous which did not last quite so long is the Berlin Wall, dividing Germany and the city of Berlin, even although the the metro line ran below the wall connecting both parts of the divided city. Terrible to think of the numbers who died in the name of Politics.
In Edinburgh we have the old City Wall which can be seen intact at several parts, and also a small wailing wall within Bute House where our Nicola can be heard nightly decrying her opposition,  not to be confused with original Wailing Wall, a section of the great Western Wall in Jerusalem which is visited by hundreds of thousands of the faithful each year.
I should not forget about the other Scottish walls,  Wall's ice cream - enough said.
