The White House announced today that "naming rights" to stretches of the Trump Wall across the southern U. S. border are up for sale.
Portions have been pre-sold. Among the corporations that will have their names in neon on the wall are Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby. The largest single stretch has been claimed by Koch Industries, Inc. Together with its subsidiaries Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Fertilizer, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle, and Guardian Industries, Koch will place signs on almost six hundred miles of wall. It is rumored that the National Rifle Association has contracted to name a large portion of the Texas barrier.
The White House did not say how much the corporations paid for the naming rights. Charles Koch, in a rare interview, asserted that the cost was "a good buy. But it's not about money," he added, "it's about patriotism."
Trump Industries has also claimed a few choices miles of the wall but has yet to make a payment.
