He said Mexico would pay for the wall. [View all]

He said it again and again and again and again, a dozen or a hundred times on the campaign trail. It was one of his favorite little rhetorical call and response routines with the Maggots.

Benedict Donald: And who's gonna pay for it?

Maggots: Mexico!!!

So why even bother with these "negotiations." Let the great deal maker practice his "art" with Mexico, and get the Mexicans to pay like he said they would.

Problem solved.

Seriously: we should stick this in his face every chance we get. Mexico! Get Mexico to pay like you said they would. End of discussion.

You're right. I have a hazy recollection of him mentioning Mexico paying, one or 2 times. Mc Mike Dec 2018 #3
