Trump claims Mexico will pay for wall day after seeking $18bn from Congress
Source: MSN/The Guardian
Donald Trump insisted on Saturday that Mexico would pay for a wall along the southern US border, one day after his administration asked Congress for $18bn over the next decade to start construction on the barrier.
I believe Mexico will pay for the wall, Trump said during a brief news conference at Camp David, where he was meeting congressional Republican leaders to plan for 2018 midterms.
I have a very good relationship with Mexico. But yes, in some form, Mexico will pay for the wall.
Mexico has repeatedly stated that it will not pay to build the wall.

Yeah, we ALL heard about your phone call with the Mexican President, where you whined like a little bitch before he told you to shove your wall up your ass.
I hope the press reminds people about that.

It's a whole workup now, circulation all over the body, brain scans, neurological evaluation.
When the time comes families have to do what they have to do, to plan ahead and make the best choices.

If Trump, or any other Republican really believes Mexico will pay a few dozen billion dollars for some border wall, they might as well invest in a surfing accessories shop in Banff.

(18,635 posts)It's something he's done since the campaign. He successfully sued the women who accused him, forced N Korea to the table, and had the biggest turnout of any inauguration. Period.
If only it didn't work with millions of Americans it would be laughable. I suspect mass hypnosis.

(19,201 posts)You also believe there was no collusion with Russia. You also believe your inauguration had the biggest crowd ever. You also believe you picked the best people possible for your cabinet. You also believe you're the best negotiator in the world. You also.......well, you get my drift, Donnie boy. You're full of shit.
AND ONLY BRAIN-DEAD TRUMPTARDS BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

Because he has no concept of reality. None. It's all whatever is rolling around inside his dementia-addled brain.

(4,844 posts)I am not in favor of the wall. However, I am adamant that my tax dollars do not pay for anything that was explicitly promised to be paid for by Mexico.
If I were the Dem leadership, I would consider attacking this on 2 fronts. 1) A Dem majority won't need a wall for DACA. 2) If Trump were the honest and brilliant dealmaker he claims to be, he would have negotiated this with Mexico by now. BTW, has he even started those negotiations? He doesn't need a single Democrat, or Republican for that matter, to make this deal.
