From the Orange one's own campaign website:

LINK

quote:

It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for the wall including the following:

On day 3 tell Mexico that if the Mexican government will contribute the funds needed to the United States to pay for the wall, the Trump Administration will not promulgate the final rule




And some of you buy it when Trump claims he never really meant he expected Mexico to write a check. It's on his own campaign site.

Amusingly, this page says this:

quote:

By definition, if you have a large trade deficit with a nation, it means they are selling far more to you than the reverse


Clearly they never studied basic economics. Or more likely they expected Trump's supporters to not have a clue about the subject and swallow it whole.

You guys ever get tired of looking like idiots.
Also, Schumer, Pelosi, Obama and Hillary all stated that a wall was necessary and illegals were a detriment to our country.
Whose standards are you holding on to?

You know, everyone just laughs at you and we're voting for Trump again in 2020. You accomplish nothing.

It is possible he didn't know about GoFundMe at the time.

It’s great how everyone is talking about the wall. No one is talking about the shutdown

Who did Obama say would pay for the wall whenever he voted for it as a senator?

Says the payment is to ensure the $24billion continues to flow. Nothing about a wall or even a check. Are you retarded?

My question is: how many times do you have to be lied to (from Republicans and Democrats) about border security until you figure out that the powers that be have no intention of curbing illegal immigration?

So because the “powers that be” have no intention of curbing illegal immigration that means we should do what exactly? Just say frick it and accept illegal immigration?

I'm open to suggestions.

I've advocated for 15 years on this board that if Americans want their country back they're going to have to take it back themselves.

Nobody is going to come riding in on a white horse to save us, not Bush, not Obama, not Trump....

So I ask again, what are your suggestions?

Your reading comprehension needs work. This thread isn't about whether a wall is good or bad, it's about whether Trump said Mexico would write a check.

You are an ignorant pathetic brainwashed wretch. Please have your mommy take you out of her basement and to the veterinarian’s office to be humanely euthanized.

this path is very hard, it means that people will have to suffer privation and make great sacrifices

I don't the people are ready for that, yet
