During an interview with NewsNation aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Hill,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued that if his rival Republican candidate former President Donald Trump had followed his promise to build a wall on the border, “it would have been much more difficult for Biden to get away with” the damage he’s done on the border.
DeSantis said, “I do think, when he’s saying things, like, in Iowa, the other day, that, well, he couldn’t follow his campaign promise to have Mexico build the border — pay for the border wall, because there was, no legal mechanism he could have used to have Mexico pay, so he’s rationalizing that failure. The problem is, that was his main campaign promise. I was at the rallies. It was fun. Everyone was cheering that. And the second thing is there actually was a way he could have done that. He could have imposed fees — and I will do this as president — you could have imposed fees on the remittances that people send to foreign countries, Mexico included. That would have raised billions of dollars.”
He added, “I think it’s important, because that was his core campaign promise. You look at what Biden’s done with that border. If he had followed through and built the wall, it would have been much more difficult for Biden to get away with what’s happened.”

“That’s what he promised, to make Mexicans pay for the wall, not Americans. “
Trump was doing that. You simpletons do not understand that the bill did not need to include a bill to Mexico. You’re really stupid in that you didn’t understand that Mexico would be paying for the wall in various ways, but, as petulant children, you demanded some kind of itemized bill to Mexico. You think you can hold Trump to your unrealistic childish standards.
You are a known liberal troll on FR. You hate Trump because you hate America. All you have are childish insults of anything not of the democrap party.
“You can’t argue with a traitor, but thank you for trying.”
My comments are not for her, but for you, my dear. I want you to know there are others who think as you do. We Americans are the majority. These liberals are the minority. They are uneducated, inexperienced, childish, petulant, hate-filled, and unrealistic. They think hating this country is somehow good for them in the long run, and you, I, and every other American knows better.
DeSantis is such a weasel.
His campaign has exposed him and it is why he is so far behind in the polls.
Does he have anything to say about the democrats and biden?
It is all about taking potshots at Trump.
I don’t support Trump because he’s not a true conservative, in any way, shape or form. He had some good ideas in 2016, and accomplished some things when Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress, but didn’t deliver on many of them such as locking Hillary up, and having Mexico pay for the wall, and has been a disaster ever since.
So I am to the RIGHT of Trump, as is most every person here who wants DeSantis as our nominee, instead. Trump has slowly but steadily moved to the left ever since 2016. Now he’s even out there stumbling over questions of whether a man can be a woman or not.
That’s cute, don’t care. Your entire posting history is nothing but running America down, so go lie to someone else.
Running America down? Where? I even supported Trump for years here. Created threads for his rallies. But Trump is not what’s best for America, now. He’s been nothing but a path to destruction since early 2020.
Desantis can’t win. You know that! So what is your game?!
You are destroying America. Wake up dimbulbs!
“my comments are not for her, but for you, my dear. I want you to know there are others who think as you do. We Americans are the majority. These liberals are the minority.

These anti American trolls know exactly what they are doing...
KEEPING US OCCUPIED INSTEAD OF US ORGANIZING AND BEING IN FRONT OF EVERY MEDIA AFFILIATE IN EVERY CITY AND EVERY FBI FIELD OFFICE PASSING OUT REAL NEWS.
NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED HERE EXCEPT FRUSTRATION.
Btw.. don’t EVER CALL ME DEAR. Or any woman. That’s the name every con man on earth calls a woman. And it’s what a mate calls you when he’s stopped listening. ;<)
We need to stop calling them LIBERALS. They hijacked the term to make them sound good and it hooked the public.
Trump, me, probably you are classic liberals who believe in free speech for everyone.
These traitors are authoritarian leftists.
I’m taking that term back!
It’s as deceitful as “undocumented immigrant”
We have to start calling this bovine excrement for the bull crap it is!
“Pal”
You sound like Joe Biden!
Good greif you are thick.
I’m actually quite svelte, Auntie.
“Btw.. don’t EVER CALL ME DEAR. Or any woman. That’s the name every con man on earth calls a woman.”
Actually, women use the term far more than men, and if you think I am a con man, maybe you need to lighten the f’ up!
Yes, enhancing and expanding the wall is one of President Trump's signature achievements, and for DeSantis to attack Trump over this means he's an utter traitor to the MAGA cause!
And further evidence of DeSnake's slithering and lying logic is in the second half of his remarks:
Now think about what DeSnake is saying here. Is he proposing to double down and build a stronger wall at the border than Trump delivered? No, he's not. Instead, DeSnake wants to impose a tariff on all money sent to a person in a foreign country. Sounds to me like a deceitful twist of responsibility that benefits DeSnake's donors like this:
So this is precisely what we would get from DeSnake Hiss if he ever became President: a reversal (or massive watering down) of Trump's Wall building and strong policy to block illegal aliens.
I winked.. good lord..talk about needing to lighten up. All you people want
To do is sit on your fat asses and watch this country go to shit worrying about your witttle feewings!
I’ve got about 6 weeks left on this spinning ball of crap. I’m NOT GOING OUT QUIETLY.
YOU ALL SIT HERE AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS!
COWARDS. ALL OF YOU.
Golden Yellow Belly Sapsucker.
Your claim that DeSantis is a RINO is debunked by his record. Trump has been going after him from his left, like Romney.
Simply not true.
Please find DeSantis’s name here:

Replacement of a wire by an actual 30’ wall is not just a replacement; it is the building of a wall, an actual barrier rather than a marker for the border. It is disnigenuous to suggest otherwise.
