That's what he said would happen. "Mexico will write the US a 5 - 7 billion dollar "check.

Coming back with an edit, I meant this for the retarded Spider man -- not Viper1, who had replied to him in the quote.
So here's SlowSpyder's remark:
SlowSpyder said:
I had always assumed that Trump meant that Mexico will pay the wall through the trade deals he negotiated. I hate being the smartest person on AT P&N sometimes. Do you really think he meant that Mexico was going to simply write us a check?
This is the problem with you Trumpies. The man slaps us in the face daily with insults and lies. Over and over and over again, Trumpie surrogates say "it doesn't matter what he says. Words don't matter."
But words do matter. In an accounting sense, taking umpty-ump billion dollars from the public treasury to build a wall -- regardless of its effectiveness and it truly is a medieval idea with negative consequences -- doesn't mean that any gains from a show-horse makeover of a trade deal replenishes those funds. Mexico doesn't pay for the wall -- period.
And you're lying to yourself and everyone else if you say "Well, I knew what he meant all along". That's hogwash, and given the things we've heard from your ilk in focus groups since mid-2016, none of you had a clue. Like everything else, Trump doesn't remember one month to the next what he had said at this, that, or another time. He's a con-man. He simply adjusts his words to make an excuse for his drivel. If he's caught in a lie that he made a year or two earlier, he constructs another lie in an attempt to cover it up.
Now you're telling us "we knew what he meant all along", but to the rest of us, words matter. They mattered to the President of Mexico, who denounced the idea. And we are going to hold you -- and Trump -- to his words. He said "Mexico would pay"? Fine! No . . . f***ing wall money! And frankly -- No . . . f***ing wall! Somebody will blow it up if it spans those protected wilderness areas, and bully good for them!
Let the heavens fall, but there'll be no wall. And by the way. If you want to build some monstrosity in testament to Trump, provided you live in a deep-red state, build the wall around your state. We'll be fine with that. The flyover shitholes only provide 38% of the economy, and we'd just as soon you keep everyone else out, or build a wall that keeps you in.
Unfortunately, just about every urban area or city in the Trump states is blue. So, to those people, my deepest apologies. To you, let me expectorate first, before I inhale my Spiriva.
