Donald Trump has claimed that, despite his repeated promises that Mexico would pay for a wall on US southern border, he “obviously never meant Mexico would write a cheque”.
Mr Trump’s website for his 2016 campaign had previously stated that the border country would make a “one-time payment of “$5-$10 billion”.
Instead, the president most recently claimed that Mexico would pay for the wall through changes to trade policy his administration has negotiated to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. That new deal, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), has not been approved by congress yet but the president said on Thursday that it ”probably will be”.
And now The US is paying the price by proving just how hollow their cranial cavities really are.
I always saw this as a good thing since now The US has a chance to wise up and grow their intelligence for the next time they make individual decisions.
The only good thing about Trump is that I prefer an Idiot over a Robot (Clinton) any election of the week.

By "Mexico will pay for it", did anyone really think he meant anything other than the cost being covered by rebalancing the trade deficit caused by the worst aspects of NAFTA?

If the last few elections have shown anything it's that voters don't want logical reasoned explanations and plans laid out for them.They want catchphrases mostly.

Trump, like all politicians, just says shit to get elected and then does whatever they want. Every single politician these days is a lying cocksucker, the only peaceful option for a voter is to just pick whichever one lies in a way that appeals to them and hope there's a kernel of truth.
Eli Phillips
This is true. Trump's campaign was throwing shit at the wall and seeing what stuck. He promised everything and delivered nearly nothing.

What a shock it's almost like this happens every single fucking time.
