Jan 10, 2019 — President Donald
Trump said Thursday that he never promised
Mexico would literally
write a
check to pay for a border wall.
Trump’s new insistence that he never envisioned Mexico writing a check to pay for the wall is contradicted by a
since-archived memo posted on his campaign website in 2016. The memo, titled “Compelling Mexico to Pay for the Wall,” outlines a plan to pressure Mexico to put up funds for a border wall within three days of Trump taking office.
“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,” the memo says, referring to “remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States.”
“When I said Mexico will pay for the wall in front of thousands and thousands of people, obviously, they are not going to write a check, but they are paying for the wall indirectly many, many times over by the really great trade deal we just made,” he said.
So great that he put tariffs on them?
STILL NOT paying for the wall.
That would have went over like a lead balloon at his pity speeches.
'Who's going to pay for the wall"?
It's complicated. LOL.
