Someone from the Trump administration has admitted that Mexico is not paying for the border wall, even though President Donald Trump repeatedly promised they would.

“American workers are going to do better, the government is going to do better, and you could make the argument that Mexico is paying for it in that fashion,” he said.

“But none of that is Mexico paying for the wall,” Karl pressed.

“Technically, you and I both know that it cannot work exactly like that,” Mulvaney acknowledged. “The Department of Homeland Security can’t actually spend money from Mexico. We have to get it from the Treasury.”

So, he's admitting Dotard lied.

10. Mulvaney fits into tRump's

"gang" perfectly. He lies and smirks at the same time. How smart is he? Getting onboard a Titanic that is in the process of sinking. If any wall is needed to keep out undesirables, we need one around the WH. There is not one single honest, capable, truth telling person in that group. They were talking about tRump's Christmas party. How loving tRump and Maleria were, holding hands, smiling. Well, either her monthly check cleared the bank or she was paid in cash. I hope she was included in the wire tapping. I think she or her Communist parents are in cahoots with Putin.

12. Trump must believe the wall will be built.

His people have contacted my people about how much I want for the options I have on the 3 Mexican boat manufacturing companies.
