Probably not, given that the president has already outlined numerous and ludicrous technical requirements for the unfunded project, such as it being impregnable, covered in solar panels, invisible, up to 65 feet tall so no one will throw over drugs and "hit somebody on the head," and paid for by the Mexican government.

It was in front of this painting that the Knights gathered on December 1st, less than five months after his induction, to expel the artist from the Order — like a "putrid and fetid limb," as every biography will tell you — following his audacious escape from the impregnable Fort Saint Angelo, where he had been thrown into a bell-shaped dungeon for assaulting (in some accounts, shooting) a fellow Knight.
