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

No, they want to cut the social safety net to pay for the wall - social security and Medicare, aid to education, healthcare. Nothing serious.

A wall is always good to run with your head against it... what do you need health insurance for?

But you are right. He said Mexico would pay... no clue, but is any democrat using this arguement why they don't agree to it? Guess it would shut is mouth.

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.

Come on, everybody! You just have to *believe* hard enough!
Oh, I believe. I believe if we deport Trump to Mexico with his three “anchor babies” (courtesy of Ivana) and son-in-law, El Pelos de Elote (as he is “lovingly” called) will, without a doubt, get his wall built by Mexico—right around him and his entitled progeny. Mexico needs a new landfill. Eres un pendejo!

That's just standard negotiating tactic....the building of a wall was an issue before....should we...shouldn't we?

By stating mexico is gonna pay for it...changes the frame of the argument.....

Mexico says they ain't paying.....dems say gutting Medicare ain't paying....some will say use tarriffs....some will say kick it to the private sector

Ether way....weather to build a wall is a for gone conclusion.....the debate is longer the feasablity ......but who is gonna pay

I agree with the concept of health care for all Americans. Unfortunately, the Democrats want Americans to also have to provide health care for tens of MILLIONS of foreigners who feel entitled to live here in addition to paying for their children's educations, lawyers (when they break the law), imprisonment, etc. California is buried in homeless and now have "poop patrols" in places like San Francisco. Is there EVER a point when Democrats say "enough is enough"?
