It doesn't matter if they pay directly or indirectly.

This place is going to get cleaned up. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

This thread needs to be in the Wall thread. You leftists will be held to the same standard as the right.

"You leftists"

Shut up. The president is a joke and a liar and you're addressing that in your mush brained attempt to pretend you care about forum rules.

How do you know I wasn't genuine? Or is the limit of your advance, "Can't understand Greoric's argument. Greoric bad!"

The entire post was condescending but It was better than your usual autistic libertarian buffoonery

My balls, metaphorically and physically, are very robust. I waste all sorts of time here.

YOU need to stop watching the garbage MSM networks outside of FOX. That is the last network with any shred of objectivity.

The Left in here with their guilty consciences definitely don't want a wall.

No spin, just a simple question.
Did he say they would be writing a check for the wall with no other options?
It's a very simple question.

When asked to clarify how he would get them (Mexico) to pay for the Wall, he said he they would pay via reduction of the trade deficit , better deal making by the US , increase in visa fees, blocking remittances to Mexico unless they made a 1 time payment ($5-10 billion) for the Wall

Like many of the claims in that speech, Trump did not offer specifics. But as the campaign went on, he said he would find the money by reducing the trade deficit (that wouldn’t really work), convincing Mexico to pay with clever deal-making, forcing it to pay by blocking wire transfers and visas, increasing visa fees on Mexican citizens or building the wall first and convincing Mexico to reimburse the U.S.


In 2016, Trump even said specifically that Mexico would be compelled to give the U.S. a “one-time payment” of $5 to 10 billion for the wall, both in a memo sent to reporters and in his campaign platform.

I understand they'll be paid eventually and it'll be one hell of a paycheck

But it's pretty nerve-wracking with no end in sight and rent due... I hope they've got a high limit on credit cards

If it's in the next two weeks it'll just be their paycheck.
Scary thought for sure, and understandably so.

I have a perfectly clear conscience, I didn't vote for that orange, thin skinned, serial lying, incompetent, grifter. The people who voted for him should have a guilty conscience.

 

[splendica]

Must watch in an otherwise trash thread.

Trump had to change his story because journalists were finally growing the balls to confront him about his "Mexico will pay" promise.

It's been mostly female reporters too. Probably really triggered him.

Time to start holding you leftists to account.

It's happening and you don't like it.

Very excellent post as it answered my question. He never said how exactly they would be paying and more specifically floated several options.
Thank you for sharing these articles that point out that fact.
