Bullshit. He campaigned on his big, beautiful, steel & concrete wall and Mexico was going to pay for it. Jesus Christ.
Bullshit, Duchess. You missed precisely everything else I said and with good reason.
How is Mexico going to pay for it? Upfront, in installments, in kind, in offsets? By what method? What did he mean when he said that?
Okay that to one side because clearly you do not know and neither of us are going to speculate. We don't know and it is so vague, any savings he makes that is even tangentially related to the wall that comes from any dealing with Mexico, can be said or reasoned to be Mexico paying for the wall.
Which Trump supporter, when he said Concrete wall took him absolutely literally and held him to it being specifically concrete? At this stage it is really really silly for ANYONE to pretend after 3 years that when he is speaking about shit like this that he is speaking literally. His supporters take him SERIOUSLY NOT LITERALLY. Behind the figurative speak and showmanship is a serious message. It is that illegal immigration is a serious issue. It is one that brings human trafficking , theft, rape, influx of criminals and drugs across a very porous border, that he wishes to close. Everyone got that........except for those you took him literally and concentrated on
Bullshit. He campaigned on his big, beautiful, steel & concrete wall and Mexico was going to pay for it. Jesus Christ.
and missed the message entirely.
No one apart from people like that really give a fuck because they got the message. If he holds true to the commitment he made to close the porous border and make the border tighter and more difficult for people to walk across or through, then they do not give a fuck whether it is concrete or stainless steel or granite or Adamantium.
If he builds this wall/Fence and it holds true with his overall commitment, it is a win for him. If Chuck and Nancy let him build this without stopping him they lose, even if they pretend "Haha, he said concrete and it was actually steel".
It will be seen as a win for him.
That is what is going to happen too. He is giving them every chance to make this their hill to die on. "You are never building your wall" and then he will go around them and call the Army engineers to build it. Why do you think he allowed such a big military budget to pass last year? It was factored in then.
He gets the border security with or without Chuck and Nancy's blessing.
