Someone Recreates Virtual Version of Donald Trump's Mansion in Second Life, Complete With Virtual Wall

A Scottish political activist and feminist has been exploring Second Life in search of virtual headquarters for real US political candidates, so when Ysabelle Stewart found a recreation of Donald Trump's Florida mansion, naturally I had to see it for my (avatar) self:

There it stood in all its garish glory, on a region fittingly named Lionheart, festooned with "Make America Great Again" signs, and a big beautiful welcome entrance. (Click here to visit yourself.)

I went through that entrance to explore the grounds myself, but as with real world Trump, virtual Trump doesn't exactly like journalists. (A really disgusting group of people, folks.) So within seconds after starting to stroll through Trump's mansion, a security robot booted me, depositing me back at my office, blinking in confusion. And when I returned to try again, here's what was waiting for me:

A wall. Virtual Trump had put up a big beautiful virtual wall to block out journalists and also presumably Mexicans, Muslims, and Megyn Kelly. This virtual wall looks a lot more feasible to create than the actual one Trump is proposing to build. Maybe instead of America, which actually seems to be doing relatively well, he should campaign to make the metaverse great again.

Speaking of campaigning, this election cycle seems sorely lacking in SL-based headquarters. Ysabelle did find one for Bernie Sanders, and it's about as no-frills and grassroots as Sanders himself:

So, the winner of best inworld campaign hub is Bernie Sanders, though couldn't get media player/TV to work: pic.twitter.com/ACjH2BdJN2

... basically something you could build with just one of Bernie's $27 campaign contributions.

Did Trump's hair attack your avatar? That ginger-colored creature that lives on his head terrifies me. I think it is sending messages into his brain.

You were born in Hawaii, right? Where's your birth certificate? Show it or it's ban-lines for you, mister.

Kenya or Hawaii, I get them mixed up a lot.

LOL

Y'all cry at Trump's wall rhetoric. But then are confused when H1-B visa slaves steal your jobs in the tech industry.

Also H1-B visas are not only used in tech. They are used in Education, Medical, Hospitality and MORE. And in the blue collar ranks, Illegal Aliens get the rest. FREE TRADE. Got to love it. Getting a bigger education no longer matters. Because there is always the appropriate slave willing to do it cheaper.

Stay asleep people. Just keep snoring.

Maybe its complete with a turbine windmill to generate undistributable energy to sell to England, you could say its like England paying Scots for two thousand tickets for a SL sim party and you know how that would turn out, maybe RFL and the ACA will host a benefit to erect a lockerbie bomber memorial.maybe theres a new petition by the self promoting Aberdeen old rock chick,venue hustler wannabe writer Suzanne Kelly to ban Trump from his own virtual mansion as long as it makes traffic for them no harm done parliment won't vote on it,they dare not after all the terrorist attacks the world its self keeps proving Trump right.The liberals are probably best keep in a virtual playground in a sandbox where their inept and destructive policys can be cleaned every few hours.
