1. Means Mexico won't pay so we will. nt

[CrispyQ]

2. It means,

"We're gonna build the wall now, America will pay for it, but I will get Mexico to pay for it eventually. Trust me."

And his followers will.

9. When someone says "Trust me" they're lying! nt

[boston bean]

3. I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. That is a lie that covers all eventualites....

Easier for his servile lackeys to say "see he was prophetic, it happened just as he said it would!"

[Cattledog]

5. Just another con artist tactic.

Get the money up front.

[spanone]

6. 'in some form' i.e. suckers!!!!!!!

[wishstar]

7. Another of his empty promises, kicked down the road

He never retracts anything and will continue making delusional promises to keep his faithful followers

[Heartstrings]

8. No comprende bullshit and babble? nt

[ProudLib72]

10. It's giving Mexico the right

to refuse to pay for his substandard wall once it's all done.

[mercuryblues]

11. trump

has said he is willing to implement a 20% border tax with Mexico. To which Mexico pretty much said, I dare you.

[malaise]

12. Leave stupid

fuck to himself

[Solly Mack]

13. Means Americans will pay for the wall and he is thinking of some way to punish Mexico

for not jumping when he speaks.

He's looking for ways to punish another country for not obeying him. For not bending to his will. His ego can't abide that.

Most likely case is he'll announce some policy that only seems to punish Mexico but actually punishes Americans.

But he'll claim whatever trumped-up policy means Mexico is reimbursing Americans for the wall. But the policy will hurt trade for Americans, while Mexico looks to other - eager - avenues for trade.

Oh, and don't think for a second that the deportations under him don't have something to do with Mexico standing up to him.

Trump is a mean-spirited, spiteful little fuck.

14. You have to speak fluent Weasel Words to understand.

Translation: My campaign promise to build The Wall was total bullshit as every single Democratic and Republican candidate who ran against me pointed out. Since there really is no way to make Mexico pay for the wall with cash like I promised, I will now shift the goalposts and promise that they will pay "in some form" at some later date, to be determined by me.

He is totally crashing and burning on this campaign promise and he knows it. What a loser.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Not sure he wrote that one

that sounds like Spicer. Or conway.

[Vinca]

16. It's meant for the benefit of his dim bulb base.

Everyone with an IQ above 50 knows Mexico isn't going to pay for a wall or anything else Trump might want.

[Wounded Bear]

17. It means he plans to sue Mexico later, after we pay for it now...

[Nonhlanhla]

18. What I've never understood

is how anyone can think it is normal for a president of one country to say that another country will be paying for something that country does not want. This is an act of aggression against Mexico. I don't get to put up a fence on the border of my property and then send the bill to my neighbor.

[ATL Ebony]

20. He's crazy, he knows taxpayers will have to shoulder payment for this wall that most don't want.

[ATL Ebony]

19. Yeah, right, OK. They seemed pretty adamant that Mexico will NOT pay for your wall.

I guess this is another of your "trust me" , they'll pay later.

[LeftInTX]

21. They will be paying metaphorically

Which means they won't be paying.

[Yonnie3]

22. As near as I can tell it actually means ... nothing. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. He's a flipping moron. That's what it means.

[smirkymonkey]

24. Look fucktard, we DON't need a border wall and even if we did

Mexico is NOT paying for it. Why can't you get that through your thick, orange, bloated cranium?
