The only way they can pay for it is with a press conference and a big old Nascar cardboard check.

Surprising that Trump didn't demand a photo op of this as part of the Tariff deal.

Do you really think they were going to write a check?

Either a moron or inherently dishonest!

Mexico already buys an absurd amount of American agriculture because of NAFTA. I’d like to see any kind of proof that they plan to buy more than they already did.

Has Mexico promised to buy more American agricultural products than they did last year?

Trump only promised that they’d “begin” buying products but they’ve been doing that for a long time.

If money is fungible and Mexico buys less next year, then I guess they’re defunding the wall.

If this wasn’t the case why would trump make this deal? Are you saying he gives a shite about some minor political points right now? Even Tump’s biggest haters would question him making a deal for no reason here.

Damn farmers always trying to milk things even more. Those soybean prices were going down even without the tariffs. They have a bad wave of swine flu in China so they need less Soybean. South American crops are coming back and raising the supply.

That is what Trump said.

“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion,”

On Monday, Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard,
gamely took a stab at explaining what Trump's tweet meant.
quote:

“As the tariffs aren’t imposed, he would be calculating, I suppose, there would be a boost to economic growth and that that will increase our imports, including grains,” Ebrard said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “That’s what I think he’s saying. But we don’t have a specific agreement on agricultural products.
It looks like Trump was guilty of overselling yet again.

What does that have to do with the fact that Trump was misrepresenting what was agreed to in the deal with Mexico?
