and suddenly his supporters want to pay more in taxes to pay for this wall? Well which is it? Cause the campaign ran on someone else paying for it which we all knew was BS. Ironic republicans think healthcare is a waste on tax dollars but a wall isnt
I want this brought up every single time it is discussed on tv. It pisses me off when they start having discussions about the wall or steel slats etc and do not bring up that we weren't supposed to pay for it.
Every sane person knew it was bs obviously all along. He had his supporters chanting that Mexico would pay for it like trained pets however at rally after rally. They are the ones that should be holding him accountable for the bait and switch. But, they go along with the charade.
And the new line is that the "improved Nafta" somehow is worth us paying for the wall. Absolutely ridiculous. Any trade deal doesn't hand the government some new slush fund you can go spend on walls. It doesn't even make sense when he sends his talking heads out saying you can pay for the wall "x times over" with what we save from trade deals.
That isn't Mexico's money. That's our money which means he lied.
