All the presidents’ wall not as bonkers as ACT Trammy McTramface Rainbow Elephant

All the presidents’ wall. Donald Trump, January 4:

This (building a wall between the US and Mexico) should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me. And they all know it. Some of them have told me that we should have done it.

Bonkers. Aaron Blake, The Washington Post, January 7:

President Trump has made … (many) clearly ridiculous, fanciful claims that can’t be directly disproved … (such as) his recent claim that other presidents have told him they should have built the border wall when they were in off­ice … The idea that even one of them confided this in Trump is hard to stomach; the idea that multiple did so is just bonkers … Acting White House chief of staff (Mick Mulvaney made) a largely nonsensical argument about semantics … (saying,) “My guess is, this boils down to … semantic difficulties we had with (Senate minority leader Chuck) Schumer … (who) kept saying, ‘You don’t have money for a wall now’ … And we’re showing pictures of what we’re building on the border with the money that we received last year … a 30-foot-high steel barrier. Our understanding is that that’s not a wall in the law … And … that’s fine … (George W.) Bush … signed the Secure Fence Act, which … we’re using … to build the wall. 

Bonkers? Amy Sherman, politifact.com, July 1, 2013:

US Rep (Democrat) Debbie Wasserman Schultz (said: “Barack) Obama has the most border patrols and border security deployed at the border of any previous president” … The Border Patrol build-up began under president Bill Clinton … but expanded dramatically under president George W. Bush … Wasserman Schultz also gave credit to Obama for the most “border security deployed” — a more general term that we took to include fences or other technological or infrastructure improvements … (But) the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (signed by Bush) auth­orised the construction of hundreds of miles of additional fencing … (Obama) voted for the law … “As to who should get more credit for border security, the fence was a bipartisan project,” (said Rey Koslowski, an expert on the border. Another expert, Christopher Wilson, said:) “One of the major problems with the whole border security debate (is) the lack of an accepted definition of the term.”

A wall too high for an eagle to fly over sounds bonkers. Ben Kentish, The Independent, February 21, 2017:

Donald Trump’s plan to build a “beautiful” wall … (will threaten) the bald eagle — the national bird … (because it will) “prevent the movement of local animals”.

A white elephant. Blake Foden, The Canberra Times, January 6:

There are fears stage one of Canberra’s light rail network could become a $939 million “white elephant” … (say) workers and … union representatives.

Told you so. M. Flint, letter to The Canberra Times, June 25, 2017:

White elephant light rail will cost Canberra taxpayers a fortune

Deja vu. Stephen Nicholls, Sydney Morning Herald, October 11, 2016:

(In) the Canberra Times, one reader protested that the $14 billion devoted to the “white elephant light rail project” would be better spent on … the 2000 homeless Canberrans.

Rainbow elephant. Elias Hallaj, the-riotact.com, December 5, 2017:

Can you think of any awesome names for the new Canberra Light Rail Vehicles? … Trammy McTramface … Hipster Express (?) … (Reader sugges­tions:) Green Elephant … Rainbow Elephant?
