Donald Trump today indicated, maybe for the first time, that the United States would pay for the border wall with the understanding that Mexico will “reimburse” us for it.

When he mentioned he would set up something that “fully funds” the wall’s construction today, Trump told the crowd, “Don’t worry about it. Remember, I said Mexico’s paying for the wall.”

He added, “With the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such a wall.”...................

And they choose to renege on whatever "commitment" Trump believes they made. They'd be within their rights, a la the Trumpian business model, and we'd be left holding the bill.

Doesn't sound like good business to me. Better go with the woman with a plan.

Also, they'd have to make the tunnel big enough to accommodate the drugs, weapons to use in their crimes, etc. that they'd be bringing in.

In a round about way he is saying that the wall will be built and funded by us and Mexico will pay us back in full. Thus Mexico pays for the wall. The fact that he still is saying this is dumb. The fact that his supporters think this is possible at all is dumb. The fact that this man is a candidate for President is...DUMB.

That should be good for an adobe brick or two.

If Mexico has their own of SNL (¡Vivo desde el DF, es el sábado por la noche!---somehow it doesn't have the same ring to it), they must be laughing their asses off over that one.

called Sniffles Builders, it will be built with China steel and Russian labor. Will only cost 2 trillion dollars plus a little for upkeep.

There's NEVER going to be a wall. Period.
The simple engineering, let alone the construction, is an impossibility. Dam up rivers, cross mountainous crags, cliffs, swamps and peaks? Yeah, sure, Donald.
His adoring followers are stupid beyond belief for believing for one minute anything out of this lying asshole's pie-hole.

I'm not sure that they're all even so dumb as to believe it literally. Some probably are. They just like the IDEA that Trump has pushed it. Means he's really serious. If Trump really believes it, he's crazier than I thought..

before we see Mexico paying for a wall. In other words, never.

HRC should counter with her own empty promise and assert she'll get Canada to pay for our infrastructure upgrades, it has just as much credibility.

Or it might not.

Probably not.
