Donald Trump is rüyada porno izlemekdead set on building that wall across the Mexican border and it's going to cost (someone??) billions.
On Thursday, Business Insider reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had confirmed Congress is moving ahead with the plan to build Trump's architectural dream structure, and estimated the cost would be somewhere between $12 billion and $15 billion.
That's a YUGE amount of money, so to really put it into perspective we reimagined some other interesting ways the billions could be spent.

1. A handful of NBA teams

In 2016, Forbes declared that the average NBA team is worth $1.3 billion. At that price, Trump could use his $15 billion to buy 11 teams, and maybe consider splurging a little extra for the Knicks (valued at $3 billion). Just imagine ... with 30 teams in the league, Trump could be the proud owner of 1/3 of the NBA. 😳

If he were to use that $15 billion in the Apple Store, he could purchase 17,667,845 256GB iPhone 7 devices(in gold, naturally) at $849 each. This doesn't include taxes though, because Donald allegedly doesn't have to pay those.

While traders in Mexico have considered buying the site to shut down Trump, he could just scoop it up for himself. For around $12 billion Trump could buy Twitterand make it his presidential goal to add tweet editing -- a feature some want and he obviouslyneeds.
And since Trump's favorite social media platform comes at a bargain, he’ll have a few million left over that he might consider investing in a high school english tutor or some grammar/spelling workbooks.
4. Avocados

The Washington Postestimated that an avocado sells for about $3.60 at the grocery store. That means over4 billionavocados --4,166,666,666 to be exact -- could be purchased with the $15 billion it's costing to build the wall.
Holy guacamole.
5. Over 4 million Hamilton tickets

Tickets are a ton of money, but Trump’s wall fund could snag around 4,338,394 of those prime Orchestra seatsgoing for about $3457.50 each (including service fees) for a Saturday night showing in New York.
Providing joy, music ANDa great history lesson to the American people seems like a pretty solid investment, don’t you agree?
6. Professional photoshop experts
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable There's been a great deal of speculation and "alternative facts" surrounding Trump's inauguration crowd numbers.
But with $15 billion, Trump would DEFINITELY be able to find a professional photoshop expert to make the crowds appear as big(ly) as his heart desires.
Then we could end this absurd debate once and for all.
7. Donald Trump, himself
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Trump’s got a pretty big ego, and while he probably considers himself the most valuable thing on this earth, the potential $15 billion he's planning to spend on building this wall costs more than even hisown net worth. Sad!
In September 2016, Forbes estimated Trump's net worth to be approximately $3.7 billion, which is nothing compared to the TREMENDOUS amount of cash he’d be dropping on his beloved architectural structure. Instead of providing Trump with the money for the wall, Congress should just buy him instead.
Other (much more practical) things Trump might want to consider spending the money on:

So rather than using $15 billion on a wall, how about using all this money to fund healthcarefor the American people?
Trump might also consider using the money to settle some of his personal debts. He could reimburse the students of Trump University or hey, maybe even that baby he kicked out of his rally for crying.
The possibilities are endless.
