Regarding a possible deal, I wonder if maybe Trump agreed to back off of his boast that Mexico will pay for it in exchange for their public acceptance of the idea of the wall.

Of that I am certain. I bet we will not hear that statement any further from Trump's lips. I've noticed about Trump that if you give him what he wants, he turns the charm back on.

To me that would be an acceptable concession if it kept them from being an obstacle.

As with me.

I’m going to be keeping and eye on whether the bit about them paying for it stays in his speeches.

I will be shocked if we ever hear it again from Trump. It may be brought up as a question, and I hope he is read for that, but I doubt he will ever say it again.

You did not listen to his AZ speech tonight.

Well, that was quick. Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall in his speech. So apparently he didn’t give up that bargaining chip but instead managed to hang on to it for later. At this point I’m actually a little puzzled by what President Nieto was thinking in inviting Trump to come down.
