Did Trump ever explain why they should pay? If not, why were people like “yeah! They should pay for it!”
You will call me out for making excuses for Trump but making the claim that Mexico will pay for the wall is aspirational (like all campaign promises from every candidate) and it sets the trade negotiation framework before sitting at the table with Mexico.
Make Mexico pay for the wall is the goal. Congress would have had to agree to make it happen. Paul Ryan was not a Trump fan so he put up as many roadblocks as he could. Trump did not get the legislation he needed to make Mexico pay for the wall. A 4% remittance tax could have accomplished that but congress did not act.
