Trump’s expressed plan for paying for the wall: Mexico will pay.
Not gonna happen.
Trump’s implicit plan for paying for the wall: America will pay, but will benefit from the protection and will absorb the cost because of the greater wealth derived from Trump’s economic plan.
It’s happening.
Just wish he’d been straightforward about these implied ways of paying for the wall from the beginning.
$1.6B is not going to do it. This is very disappointing.
There are many ways to make Mexico pay. People (and countries) pay for things every day that they don’t want to pay for. Anyone with even a vague comprehension of Mexico did not think Mexico would simply hand over the money for the wall.
I always believed we would build the wall and then through negotiations of trade or through other ways Mexico would end up paying.
