The internet roasts Trump for saying the wall will be made of 'artistically designed steel slats'

As of lunchtime Thursday, Capitol Hill was still in chaos over an impending government shutdown unless Trump abandons his demand for border wall funding. Meanwhile, Twitter users were still having fun with Trump's declared logistics of the proposed wall.

On Tuesday night, as all of this debate was really heating up, Trump dropped this pair of tweets over his demands for the wall and what, exactly, he envisioned it would look like.

That's right, not a concrete wall, but "artistically designed steel slats."

Trump then doubled-down on the slats on Thursday morning, ahead of the fight in D.C.

That ... sounds an awful lot like what's already built along some of the border and not like the big menacing wall Trump once promised. Here he is in 2016 describing what he had in mind at the time, just to jog your memory.

So what did Twitter think of Trump's newly coined description? Well, some were less than impressed.

But they weren't done. While pundits debated the merits of the wall, Twitter users took Trump's unique turn of phrase -- "artistically designed steel slats" -- and ran with it.

For the time being, nothing, not a wall or a fence or a bunch of slats, is getting built, no matter what that GoFundMe campaign claims. But that won't keep Trump from making these sorts of bizarre tweets or the jokes from spilling out all over the internet while our dysfunctional federal government grinds to another halt.
