So now the Mexican government is conceding the wall will be built. They are just squabbling over who pays for it. Very interesting twist.

[rawcatslyentist]

He will when a money transfer tax to Mexico is enforced.

Fox! You’ll pay for it and like it.

[pgkdan]

Fox is a former President...but the point is still valid. The Mexicans know that there will be a wall and they don’t like it!

[Jeff Head]

I heard this.

That interview, aired to most Americans, will be a HUGE shot in the arm for Trump...as well it should be.

The old Mexican President was angry, his use of the F’in this and F’in that had to be bleeped out.

hehehe...it is clear that HE believes Trump will build the wall and will deport a bunch of Mexican nationals.

It is also clear that he and his ilk are outraged that Latinos in this country, who are US citizens and have the right for vote, dared vote for Trump in Nevada.

Again, his anger against them is only going to drive more Latino US citizens to Trump.

Another establishment politician who simply does not get what is going on.

Oh, THEY’LL PAY, BABY! AND they’ll LIKE IT! #WINNING

Interesting.

The debate is no longer whether a wall will be built, but who pays for it.

This is why Trump gets the big bucks.

[ExCTCitizen]

Fox, yes you will pay for the wall...sorry, we do not want to press 1 for English...

[HarleyLady27]

This is so great!!! Trump isn’t even in office yet and we are going to get a wall and now Mexico is telling us that they are not going to pay for it....right....LOLOL...and all those illegals that are here are going right on the other side of the wall and there will be charge for each person going back...nice...isn’t winning fun?!!!

That was my first thought when I saw the clip -- "this is how the Art of the Deal works." Wow. No push back on the idea of having a wall in the first place. Just wow. And if this clip goes viral, as it should (the unexpurgated version without the beep is what I heard), it will only help Trump.

But that wasn't even the biggest jaw-dropper of the clip. The biggest one was when he said this to American Hispanics who would be voting in the election:

It is not to defend our race, it is not to defend our creed, but to defend the same nation that is hosting you.

So unpack that a bit -- set aside the racist implications, set aside the question of what exactly is the "our creed" he is talking about. It is this: supposedly the only Hispanics who should be voting are Hispanics who are American citizens. This is their nation, not the "nation that is hosting" them.

I'm still sorting through the implications of that comment.

“Madam, we’ve already established what you are, now we’re merely haggling over price.” (old joke)

[ameribbean expat]

Fox news.

[kaehurowing]

We just need to ban remittances going out of the U.S. to Mexico, and provide that they go for building the Wall.

[PSUGOP]

Perfect. Trump has already changed the discussion. One would think the former president of Mexico would be smarter with his words..........

Or not
