President Donald Trump has said the biggest part of his new border deal with Mexico has not yet been revealed.

It may never be, according to his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who declined to discuss details of the arrangement in an interview with CNBC’s Eamon Javers on Tuesday.

“If I told you, it wouldn’t be the secret part of the deal, right?” Mulvaney said at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit.

Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit.

Asked when the public would see the secret deal, Mulvaney responded: “Maybe never.”

“Because if it works, it doesn’t make any difference,” Mulvaney said. He added: “The purpose here is not to satisfy your journalistic sort of, you know, inquiries as to what the deal is. The goal is to reduce the number of people crossing the border.”

9. Paper

[Flaleftist]

13. It was obviously written with invisible ink.

Actually, it's a special ink invented by Trump that only people with really high IQs the bestest brains can see.

[truthisfreedom]

23. It was a take-out menu for a Mexican restaurant.

[BlueIdaho]

11. Sounds like Nixon's "secret" plan to end the Vietnam war...

Which was also a load of bullshit.

[MurrayDelph]

12. It's in that special place where Republicans keep

-Trump's "much better and cheaper health care plan"

-Nixon's secret plan to win in Vietnam

- John McCain's knowledge of how to "fix it, my friends."

-Sarah Palin's data that she was "gonna find you some and get back to ya."

[Javaman]

14. it's being kept a "secret" because there is none.

just like mccarthy and his imaginary list of communists.

[CRK7376]

15. That's called a

BIG FAT NOTHING BURGER!

[truthisfreedom]

16. Endless childish behavior

45 waving around a folded blank piece of paper outside claiming it’s the secret deal. What a fucking joke.

[DeminPennswoods]

17. Because there isn't one

...

[angrychair]

18. Seriously

W. T. F. Kind of nonsense is this?!? This is completely absurd. No, that's not how this works.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

[Solly Mack]

20. Developmentally, these people never left middle school.

[a la izquierda]

21. Mexicans are laughing at him.

Laughing.
I was watching the news in the gym at my hotel yesterday, and the newscaster was waving around a piece of paper during the Trump segment.

[Coventina]

22. Because it only exists in Trump's mind.

[Yavin4]

24. Well, if he showed you, then it wouldn't be a secret. n/t

[saidsimplesimon]

26. Secret equals

lies and exaggeration to follow in clown speech. imo

[Ligyron]

27. "I have in my hand a list of 57 names ..."

Like that kind of secret?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. The number of communists

It was on TV a couple of weeks ago. I have the DVD too. I have the DVD of the remake, which, unlike most remakes, is also excellent, as well.

Thanks.

[Ligyron]

32. The dude even puts ketchup on his steak!

[lagomorph777]

28. Well there's government transparency for ya. In this case, a transparent lie.

Mulvaney's transparent too. He's a pane.

[sdfernando]

29. Well seems to me that there are at least 2 parties to this so called "deal"

What is to prevent any of the other parties to reveal what is in it?

[Gothmog]

31. It is hard to see something that is imaginary
