I never declared a major failure. Quit misrepresenting what I say. I’m actually declaring Trump’s success, but as far as paying for the wall, not the way Trump said it would happen.
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.
You did declare Mexico would not pay for the wall. I'd say that's a major failure.
You have also made it clear you think he wasn't truthful about how the wall would be paid for.
It was never my thought that Mexico would cut a check to the United States, and then the wall would be built. That's not how things work, and I think you understand that.
The wall would be started with our funds, but over time Trump would find a way to get compensation of some sort from Mexico.
Your comments reflect that you do not expect that to happen, and you think he was untruthful.
Aren't those failures? You state these things won't be happening, and that he was untruthful. You can't see how you've framed him as failing on this?
