The centrepiece of President Donald Trump’s campaign, The Mexico border wall, is expected to cost around $15 to 25 billion, an exorbitant cost that many people find difficult to digest. But at IKEA there is always a low-cost solution to everything… including the safeguard from ‘dreaming’ immigrants.
Spoof news site, The Postillon, have developed a more practical solution to Trump’s Mexican border wall. Their quick fix? An IKEA Börder Wåll, flat-packed with a 12,000 page instruction manual for quick and easy construction.

The product is comparably cheaper than a conventional wall option, with a total retail price of just $9,999,999,999.99. The wall is made of ‘pressboard with a birch effect’ and can be assembled with a single Allen Key.
However, the IKEA offer warns, ‘Assembly requires two people: one person can hold the wall while the second screws it together’.
The basic model dimensions are 33ft (10 m) tall and 1,954 miles (3,144 km) long, but of course, there is also an extendable option.
IKEA plans to design and build compatible add-on accessories which they're confident will go down well with President Trump. Rumours say this may include products, such as, the ‘Gåwk’ watchtower and the ‘Råtåtåtåtåtå’ spring-gun.
