That’s not what Trump said. Trump said repeatedly and often that Mexico would pay for the wall through the tariffs we would impose on Mexico, which didn’t make any sense. The Carrier thing etc. is Trump’s negotiating power but he never said Mexico would pay because of our negotiating power. He repeatedly said it would be through tariffs imposed on Mexico which didn’t make sense.

I challenged Trump’s claims last year and said the U.S. would pay for the wall which it appears that is exactly what we are doing. That’s fine, but that is not what Trump said.

Comprende?

Well, Jim, I’d never looked at it that way before.

I thought paying one way was the equivalent of paying another way.

You say I’m wrong. Very well then, I’m wrong.

You’re a pretty cool guy. Aren’t you?
