But liberals thought Mexico was going to cut us a check
quote:

MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL through the many billions of dollars a year that the U.S.A. is saving through the new Trade Deal, the USMCA, that will replace the horrendous NAFTA Trade Deal, which has so badly hurt our Country. Mexico & Canada will also thrive - good for all!

I guess that’s a win?

I could care less who pays for the Wall or Fence?

I attended a couple of his rallies and I knew Mexico wasn’t going to Venmo the treasury department.

Most everyone knew that it would be funded by something like this.

Think about how much Mexico would benefit from 30 million skilled workers returning. To their country.

Talk about a Renaissance.

Well, I have never attended a rally but I knew the first time he said it what he meant. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Like someone posted in another thread, paraphrasing, "Do you think Mexico was going to print out a Nascar style check" or a Happy Gilmour check?
Yeah, I understood that he was not being literal. However, renegotiating NAFTA and bringing jobs back easily pays for the wall at Mexico's expense.

That is quite easy to understand if you possess a cognitive thought process.

This talking point makes no sense by Trump

What money is “saved” through the new trade deal?

Under this mercantilist crap logic, I am a huge loser every I walk out of Costco because they took my money and I took the goods


Trump needs to understand that economic value is measured by goods and services, not dollars

Yea that’s fair. Look, whether you support the wall or not it’s all good to me. There’s just no way the masses at those rallies could predict changes to NAFTA or other means were intended when saying Mexico was going to pay for it. Hell, not sure Trump did either at that point in the election
