Why the hell is there a debate about financing Trump's wall?

[Kingofalldems]

I thought Mexico was going to pay for it. Trump pledged this hundreds of times.

Have his idiot fans gotten wise yet?

1. I'm sure they know (by now)

the question is, do they care whether Mexico is paying for it or not (it was a really stupid thing to believe in the first place)? Republicans by and large generally don't care about big massive government spending if it's being spent on things they want/like and Trumpers/ICE/CBP right now are having a hard-on for getting rid of Mexican immigrants- undocumented or otherwise, so as long as they think that this "wall" that Trump wants to build will do just that- at no cost to them personally, I'm not sure that they really care.

2. LOL!

Who's gonna pay for the wall?

3. They say if the Mexicans won't pay for it, the US will put a tarriff on their

products." They think Mexico will pay a tariff fee. NO, we will pay higher prices.

Republicans are stupid.

4. Just give the guy time. Everybody is always pickin' on him.

5. Maybe drumpfanov can convince the Russian Oligarchs to "invest" in his wall.

He must convince them it's a good place to hide their money.

6. The cost of the wall is

Probably about 5% of their gdp. They won't willingly help on this. Who could blame them?
