From "Trump ain't got a chance" to "There won't be a wall" to "Mexico won't pay for the wall" to "Let's negotiate".

Damn but it's good having an adult leader again.

Mexico won’t pay for the wall, calling that “unacceptable.

Tax 10% on all money grams transferred from USA to Mexico will pay for the wall it’s around 2 billion a year.

Bring all that manufacturing of Chinese made crap to Mexico and then send all the illegals home to work in those factories.

An offer to negotiate is a far cry from an agreement. Or the beginning of actual negotiations for that matter. I'll believe it when I see it.

Just take 20% of money sent to Mexico of which 85% was earned under the table.

If you don't see the progression at this point, and give credit where it's due, then I'm afraid Trump himself could walk up and slap you in the face with a ton of 'Merica and you'd gripe about it.

It,s an initial negotiating position. He knows they will pay but the question is how much.

LOL! Mexico may not have to write a check, but they'll pay just the same.

Tell this guy and that little chilon, Pena Nieto that they can work off the cost of the border wall mowing the lawns at the White House.
