What if democrats matched dollar for dollar what Mexico pays us for the wall.

I could get behind that Mr Trump.

Not smoke and mirrors dollars from some trade trick, real currency.

You said Mexico would pay for the wall, but a good compromise would be matching what Mexico pays us for it, don't you think?

Thats a good compromise or no wall.

I've been thinking the same thing. Simply agree to build the wall as soon as the money comes in.

Trump has never been anything more than a bait-and-switch con artist. Well, also an embezzler. And a racist neo-fascist. Also, a traitor.

Truly a man of many talents

So put a bill out there proposing that Congress match whatever Mexico pays, with a cap of 2.5 billion dollars. It will be part of a spending bill coming out of the House and will get reported everywhere.

Mexico is of course going to refuse to pay anything, but it does put a bright spotlight on Trump's lie about Mexico paying for his wall.
