"Mexico will pay for it."

[Fishking]

How many people took that to mean that Mexico would write a literal check for the wall and not getting that through other means (e.g. trade agreements, tariffs, lower illegal immigration, stopping jobs from being outsourced to Mexico, ect)?

To most of us it was just Trump telling a crowd of gullible people what they wanted to hear.

It does mean that U.S. taxpayers should never be asked to foot the bill.

Nobody took "and Mexico will pay for it" to mean that the Great Wall Of Trump would be entirely funded by more deficit spending - which is exactly what Trump is now demanding. To assert otherwise is simply BS.

Trump said multiple times that Mexico would pay for his ego wall. he lied. it's as simple as that.

Even though Trump laid out exactly how he would get Mexico to pay for the wall, the Trump hating useful idiots, led by the Trump hating multimedia echo chamber and their talking potato heads, insist on believing the totally incorrect notion that Mexico would "write a check".

The thing is, though, no matter now much you point out the facts, those useful idiots will only counter with the nonsense from the echo chamber. It serves their purpose to abide by the quote in my sig.

So is that a "yes" for you?

Ah...so you took at as a literal check...got it. I just need to know what the capacity is of those who I'm dealing with is.

Trump Has Said Mexico Will Pay For Wall At Least 20 Times Since 2015 | Fortune

 

[Greenbeard]

2016:

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.

So your point is don't take Chump literally? Is that it?

So you're already not counting things like....

Ford Cancels $1.6 Billion Mexico Plant, Invests $700M in Michigan | Fortune

Ford Motor Co (f, +1.73%) on Tuesday scrapped a planned Mexican car factory and added 700 jobs in Michigan following criticism by Donald Trump, as the U.S. president-elect turned his attention toward rival General Motors Co with the threat of a “big border tax” over compact cars made in Mexico.

The No. 2 U.S. automaker also said it would invest $700 million to expand the Flat Rock, Michigan factory and would make new electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles there.

Why?

So your point is don't take Chump literally? Is that it?

Nope...my point is seeing how many have a lack of critical thinking skills.

It's rich you talk about capacity. You are enabling the bigger douche bag in the history of the presidency.

I see...you misunderstood the question in the OP. Again...I'm figuring out the intellectual capacity of those with whom I'm dealing with.

Critical thinking skills? Did he say it or not? And over and over again.

You are implying that we aren't supposed to take him at his word.

I think it is you who lack the critical thinking skills.

"the bigger"...rofl.

Let's see...is it "the bigger" than FDR, who ran literal internment camps for Japanese Americans and supported the seizing of their assets? Just want to see how you rate things here.

Yes...he said it. Again...you're proving the point I was making. Grats!

i tend to doubt that. i think that you're looking for an alternate reality escape route around what the Trump said. however, i'm here to pin you down with his actual words over and over again until i become bored with the activity. keep quoting me, and i'll keep steering you back.

This is hilarious...you think you really have something here? Interesting. I guess if someone in sports says, "We're going to beat their (the other team's) ass!" to you it actually means they are going to be swatting them on the behind a lot.

Keep steering, though. You're only digging yourself deeper.
