Of course he didn't present it as a metaphor. His supporters wanted a real wall and he seized on that. It doesn't mean he ever intended to build one out of bricks or actually make it 10' higher or actually have Mexico finance it by writing checks to the US government though. A 'wall' can be comprised of a great many things beyond brick and mortar and 'paying' for something can be done in many forms ^^
It was a brilliant strategy because when he starts discussing it, his supporters will be too embarrassed to admit they took it literally and his opponents will be shouting, "No, no, no, no, NO! You said you were going to build a wall, so build it, or are you a liar?" And Trump will come out the good guy^^ Careful with the charge ^.~v
Of course he could surprise me and actually build a 50' tall wall *shrugs*

That was my point. He has to build it or else. Problem is funding the damn thing isn't going to be easy since immigrant labor is cheap, and the folks in congress like cheap labor. Playing ball with congress or playing ball with his supporters could get him ousted in 4 years or less. Impeachment is the desperate act if the GOP can't wrangle him. They think they can, and I'm waiting for all this to unfold because it's entertaining.
