But, but, campaign promise! Campaign promise!
Well was he lying or is he just incredibly ineffective?
How about incredibly naive? He could have been that too.
I find it amusing that you want to act as if campaign promises are inviolate and set in stone when those with a higher than room temperature IQ realize very few politicians keep many promises they make and that Trump has actually kept quite a few. So no, it doesn't matter who pays or doesn't pay for a wall when it's becoming glaringly obvious that the opposition wants nothing whatsoever to do with border security. No counter offers, no discussions, nothing at all.
Instead we're left with morons chattering on about "He promised Mexico would pay for the wall", as if that's significant.
