Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Tuesday fired back at President Trump for renewing his claim that Mexico would pay for Trump's proposed border wall in the end.
NO. Mexico will NEVER pay for a wall. Not now, not ever, Peña Nieto wrote on Twitter. Sincerely, Mexico (all of us).
At a campaign rally in Tennessee earlier on Tuesday, Trump said that in the end, Mexico is going to pay for the wall.
They make all of this money, and they do absolutely nothing to stop people from going through Mexico, from Honduras and all these other countries, the caravan, all of this stuff, the president said. They do nothing to help us, nothing.

Donald Trump criticized Mexico for not helping to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States and repeated his campaign promise that Mexico will pay for building a wall along the US-Mexico border, prompting a public rebuke from Mexicos president.
In the end, Mexico is going to pay for the wall, the US president told supporters in a campaign-style rally in Nashville, Tennessee.
They do absolutely nothing to stop people from going through Mexico, from Honduras and all these other countries ... They do nothing to help us.
Mexicos president, Enrique Peña Nieto, swiftly responded on Twitter that his country will never pay for a wall. Not now, not ever. Mexico has long said it would not pay for a border wall and has chafed at Trumps repeated insistence otherwise.

(19,204 posts)his cult that there will BE a stupid wall, and that THEY won't end up paying for it. The inglorious rubes still think Trump is keeping his campaign promises.
If Trump was keeping his campaign promises, that stupid wall would have been built already, and the U.S. wouldn't have spent a penny building it. Just more bullshit from the world's greatest bullshit artist. And, as if it's necessary to add, the worst president to ever have disgraced the Oval Office in history.
