Former Texas governor Rick Perry said in a Monday interview that Donald Trump still plans to build a wall along the Mexican border—but the wall will be “digital” rather than physical.
“There are some that hear this is going to be 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso, 30-foot high,” Perry told Snapchat’s Peter Hamby. “Listen, I know you can’t do that.”
Perry had previously expressed skepticism about Trump’s proposal, saying in a January radio interview that such a project would take “literally years” to complete.
Since then, his stance appears to have shifted. “I’m for Donald Trump, and he says we’re going to build a wall, the Mexicans are gonna pay for it,” Perry, who endorsed Trump in May, told Hamby.
“It’s not going to happen,” Hamby fired back.
“Well, it’s not,” Perry responded, and went on to explain: “It’s a wall, but it’s a technological wall, it’s a digital wall.”
It’s unclear exactly what Perry meant, but surely Trump can find a way to make a “digital wall” big and beautiful, too.

If the Donald is not able to provide a physical wall, his whole raison d’etre comes tumbling down.
what’s he left with, just racism?
And just how exactly is a 30 foot tall digital wall constructed, Rick? I think someone’s getting Rick-rolled.
Perry: With my glasses, I am able to see The Wall even now.
Google: With Google glasses, you can see the 3-D version.
Trump: I didn’t even have to pay for it and its free.
Perry thinks people on the TV screen actually can see him, too, just saying…
Telling the truth about a central tenet of the Trump campaign?
Oops.
