He said Mexico was going to pay for it.
Of course he didnt say Mexico was going to cut a check because he KNEW Mexico was never going to pay for it.
It was a bull# campaign slogan devised by the lying SOS that is Roger Stone. They had no plan because trump really didnt think he was going to win and he didnt think he was going to have to come up with a plan.
Thats the gods honest truth right there. He was slinging # hoping you guys would lap it up but he never really believedi t himself.

Well if you say Mexico is going to pay for the wall that's one thing.
However, Mexico paying for the wall via trade arrangements?
Completely different kettle of fish.
And we all know Mexicos feelings on the matter, computer says NO.
How come Hillary is still as free as a bird again?
Politicians tell blatant lies im afraid, Trumps no different from the rest in that respect.

When it comes to the wall, Trump wrote a check his ass can't cash.
He was the one who said that the Mexicans will pay for the wall, and now he blames the left for not committing to a cause that he committed to.
He is cannon fodder now, I don't care if you swing left or right, come next candidacy election Trump needs to go.

I call liar liar pants on fire where Trumps concerned.
Which sadly is the name of the game in American elections.
So long as we dial back old wars and don't start new ones, I'll give him one gold start, but only one.
He has to earn the rest.
Should he start a new one, he's done to me and I'm all Gabbard 2020.

Sorry, no one but the truly stupid thought that he meant Mexico would cut a check or send workers and materials to the border. Especially considering he continuously stated we had to make better trade deals.
Of course no one has accused you of being smart either, so there's that.

It was very obvious that he expected Mexico to pay cash up front for the wall. Then when it was obvious they wouldn't, all of a sudden the trade deal was going to pay for it. It is pretty much the whole trickle down argument...give the rich a bunch of money and everyone will be better off. The fact that you all still buy into this hook and sinker tells everyone what they need to know about your level of intelligence.

So why isn't there any money in the U.S. coffers from this Mexico/US trade deal to cover the cost of the wall?

They will reach. That’s not a wall; it’s a fence, they will say. Mexico isn’t paying for it, they will say. Meanwhile a barrier between the US and Mexico is being built to the chagrin of those who said it would never happen.
