    Mexico will pay for it!! Mexico will pay for it! Mexico will pay for it! Mexico will pay for it!
    I guess that sounds better than taxpayers will pay for it! Taxpayers will pay for it! Taxpayers will pay for it!.

    Baha. Many, many angry Trumplicans are melting down on Twitter and Facebook over this. They just cannot believe it. Well these aren't anonymous sources talking. #rubes

    I am fine with American taxpayers paying for border security - as long as it happens.

    He never said Mexico was going to pay for it with a direct check.

    Mexico will never fund the wall, but they would be so very glad to finance a bridge construction.:)
    The people who crossed could send back home dollars and that's reality and it's quite unreasonable for Mexico to halt such by building a wall. :wall:

    WHAT????

    Was you in another galaxy during election campaign that you didn't hear and see it multiple times that he told this?


    Anyway ...
    If there is really one member of this forum who ever seriously thought that Mexico will pay for a wall which is intended against Mexican people not to enter the USA illegal ... well ... such members maybe still believe in Santa Claus and that he brings at night the gifts through a funnel and so on.

    Trump and the USA have no power to force Mexico to do so ... but obviously not only few trolls didn't get this in their brain and believe the BS which trump told! And now ... YOU the US taxpayers have to pay as it was clear from the beginning on!

    Not directly. Through other means. He's had it posted on his website the entire time I thought Democrats are literate?

    No one is stopping anyone from reading it and educating themselves.

    As a wise poster said on here quite recently - laying mines is the way to go. Cheap and highly effective?

    I say cut Mexico's aid off from the US for starters to help finance the wall. I am sure there are other ways too. We pay 8 billion a year to finance the UN. Use that. I am sure Canada would be happy to pick up the UN's tab.

    Ehm ... one moment please!

    Trump was not tired to tell again and again at all his speeches at election campaign about the wall he wants to build against Mexico and that Mexico will pay it... now the US taxpayer will pay it if it will be ever build.

    So ... ehm ... everything fine and Trump was not a liar before?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yep ... and then build a wall around the complete US border and live in self isolation from the rest of the globe ... but if you, please stay on your side of the wall.

    We have some East German specialist who can be helpful in such things...

    Sure ... you really believe this fairy tale?

    Isn't it interesting that the Russian ambassador in Mexico met since November President Nieto a dozen times?

    Are you also fine with Mr.Trump "Deciding" pretty much everything he stated in the campaign was BS and he does not need to do what he said?

    Thus far:
    The wall is a fence and we pay for it.
    HillBill gets a pass.
    Social programs are not actually hands off.
    The swamp is overflowing into the streets.

    Can you name a single thing he said he will do that he still intends to.....sure as hell isn't "Great Again".

    Simple minded lefties. They understand nothing. The wall will be built and Mexico is already paying for it....Carrier is staying, Ford is staying as well as many other companies who, if Obama had a 3rd term, would have gone.

    Much though I admire DT this is one thing I don't think he's given enough thought to; sorry about the grammar but 'walls can be tunnelled under'?

    Actually it doesn't matter that a wall can be a thousand miles long, but a passage under it wide enough for someone to walk through will negate the entire structure. Ain't that a thought to conjure with?

    Simple minded righties ... they understand nothing and ignore everything which hurts their believes.
    This outsourcing is only stopped in parts and is only temporarily ... and interesting when righties kept silence when Obama saved 1 million Jobs in automobile after 2008 for 6 years ... but high mark Trump when Ford & Co. does not outsource for the first.

    Medieval castle sieges ended when massive walls were undermined. Trump's absurd fantasy will never come to light. Already his supporters are coming to his defence, trying to tell us that, 'I will build a wall' isn't what he actually meant and shouldn't be taken literally. Perhaps I should be wary if my builder says, 'I will build you an extension'. Just in case, like Trump, he is lying.

    Sounds good. We're happy he'll build the wall, you libs have spent the last 2 years trying to convince us that he wouldn't. Who's got egg on his face again?

    But you libs never learn do you? How many times do we need to tell you, it's you who take him literally, not seriously. We take him seriously, not literally. If he implements the final solution of the illegal immigration problem, regardless of how he does that, we'll be ecstatic.

    PS Mexico will pay. When the illegals are returned to Mexico and the border is closed and businesses are leaving Mexico for the US and NAFTA is renegotiated.... you better believe, paying for the wall will be the least of Mexico's problems and they will gladly do that in exchange for better trade terms and higher legal immigration quota.... It will take a couple of years, be patient.

    He never said he expected a direct check. Actually he said the opposite..noting indirect ways Mexico would pay for it. You obviously never listened to his speeches.

    This is why liberals never get anything done, well besides corruption. What is Trump suppose to do? Wait for the Pesos?? Get real. There is already a 2006 law on the books (one democrats voted for ironically enough) that allows Trump to get to work immediately. You liberals don't think the U.S. has any leverage over Mexico? How much of reality do you guys want to deny?

    So sad!

    Trump won. Hes going to be president. You knuckleheads are doing more harm than good. You have managed to taint any real criticism of Trump. Congrats.

    Correction, the US taxpayer will end up getting shafted with the $12 billion bill if Trump's fantasy wall even begins to be built. And it won't. Someone needs to take his cellphone off him. His acolytes must cringe in embarrassment every time he tweets yet another dumb assertion-and that's before they start running around in circles attempting to re-spin what he 'really means'...
    He seems to be unaware of the immense responsibility he will be undertaking, and instead appears to regard America as his personal fiefdom to do with and manipulate as he wishes. That attitude will return to bite him on his arrogant arse. Mark my words.
