Cards Against Humanity have cheekily stalled Trump’s border wall plans

Some people will do literally anything to ruin Trump's day

Brilliant.

One of the best house-party games of recent times, everybody loves a few quick rounds of Cards Against Humanity.

What you might not know, though, is that the people behind the card-game are always coming up with ways to stay relevant in terms of real-world comedy.

In 2014, they offered “a box of shit” to everyone that donated to them, and they delivered on that promise, with several thousand of boxes being filled with actual poop.

In 2015, they somehow managed to get the general public to give them over $70,000 for, literally, nothing.

And then, in 2016, they started the Christmas Hole, which was basically a hole that they dug, and the more money people sent in, the deeper the hole got.

People sent in over $100,000.

This year, they’re putting their pranking sensibilities to “good use”, by buying up a large plot of land right where Trump intends his Border Wall to be built, and allowing the public to buy up plots of the land, to further complicate any potential plans to legally buy the land back.

As per their official manifesto:

Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans. He is so afraid that he wants to build a twenty-billion-dollar wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing. So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specialising in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built. On Day 1, all Cards Against Humanity Saves America recipients will get an illustrated map of the land, a certificate of our promise to fight the wall, some new cards, and a few other surprises.

At the time of writing, over 100,000 shares have already been sold, which means that as potentially preposterous their idea might be, there are plenty of people out there willing to give a hand in any way possible if it means ruining President Trump’s day.
