\nThroughout\u00a0his US presidency campaign Donald J. Trump has made many a ludicrous promises, one of them being the infamous border wall with Mexico. No one really knows the details of how this border should or can be built \u2013 probably not even Trump himself. Enter David Gleeson & Mary Mihelic, the politically-minded collective t.Rutt<\/a>, who have started constructing the infamous wall – but there\u2019s a catch.
\nUsing 52 cinder blocks, t.Rutt built the first part of the wall around 18 metres away from the actual fence border in Jacumba Hot Springs, California. The\u00a0structure\u00a0is decorated with a Trump campaign ad as well as rotting fruit, vegetables, flowers, tools and other hardware \u2013 all symbolic items which represent the detrimental economic consequences such a border could cast upon the US.
\nT.Rutt hope that other artists will further adorn the wall. \u201cArt has to be present more in these disruptive and contentious moments,\u201d Gleeson has said<\/a>. But not before they send the $14,635.42 bill to Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto, the president of Mexico. This gesture serves as yet another dig at Trump, referencing the Republican candidate’s preposterous claim that he would make the Latin American country\u00a0pay for the border wall.
\nThe artist duo have been known to engage with the Republican candidate\u2019s campaign in other instances. Last autumn they bought an old Trump campaign bus and have since attended Trump rallies promoting the slogan \u201cMake Fruit Punch Great Again\u201d. You can follow their project on their Instagram<\/a>.
