Right.
And you believed him?
Trump doesn't have a good track record of writing checks, nor receiving them.
"When during the campaign I would say ‘Mexico is going to pay for it,’ obviously, I never said this, and I never meant they're going to write out a check," Trump told reporters. "I said they're going to pay for it. They are."
"When I say Mexico is going to pay for the wall, that's what I said. Mexico is going to pay. I didn't say they're going to write me a check for $20 billion or $10 billion."
"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,"
"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." - Trump
presidential announcement speech, June 16, 2015
That paying for the wall crap is your default position on the left, in spite of us saying repeatedly it doesn't matter to us who pays for it, just as long as it's built. Politicians say all kinds of things that people want to hear, like if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Your medical costs will go down $2,500 a year. Nobody making less than 450K will see a tax increase of any kind; no new taxes.
What Trump asked for the wall from the Nazis is about what we spend on food stamps for a little under half a month, and you on the left act like it's some sort of big deal. Now if you want to talk about some real spending, let's talk about the hundreds of billions in Democrat pork the last two stimulus/ covid bills. That's real money.
220 billion to payoff the teachers union so their contributors could get paid to stay home. Only 2% of that money went to any kind of improvements or air quality control. Over 400 billion to Democrat states that have been overspending for years before Covid, and using it as an excuse to bail them out. 120 billion to restaurants in commie cities that shutdown stopping them from making their own money. 10 million for gender studies in Pakistan. Not only did they spend money to pay off farm debt for minority farmers (minorities that heavily vote Democrat) but pay them 120% of their debt so they make an extra 20% for profit. 135 million to the national endowment of arts, and another 135 million to the national endowments of humanity. 50 million bucks towards family planning. Now gee, who in our country does family (abortion) planning? And we won't even get into the payoff to the Kennedy Center.
You have no right to complain about what Trump spent; spending that paid for itself since illegals cost us over 50 billion a year. There's s difference between paying off your supporters like Democrats do and the taxpayer getting nothing for it, and making sound investments like a southern border wall that benefits all Americans, especially those in the south.
