This was 1,000 percent on purpose.

Cue PeeWee Herman: “I meant to do that.”

This guys knows that people who support Trump not only don’t care that the video wasn’t of the US/Mexico border, but that Trump supporters love his “no sh/t” response.

Well, Morocco, Mexico, they sound a lot alike. Who could blame the fourth graders running the Trump campaign for mixing them up?

When your target audience is stupid, facts don’t matter.

This one is better, DT. Use this one next:

Trump’s message makes more sense in the original German:

castor_troy · January 4, 2016, 9:19pm

Truth has a well-known Liberal bias.

‘We lied because it’s GONNA happen!’ OK got it…

The Trump camp is really the personification of the GOP. There are no mistakes and everything is true even if it is false. Because we said it, so there.

They’re using the same math Trump applies to Mexicans, jobs, and rooftop parties.

jviscont1 · January 4, 2016, 9:21pm

Call me a skeptic, but I suspect Mexico will balk at paying for a wall in Morocco.

mrcurmudgeon · January 4, 2016, 9:21pm

They really are a bunch of shameless cretins.

castor_troy · January 4, 2016, 9:21pm

Anyway, at some point someone REALLY needs to query Trump about his fixation on Foreign women.

What, American Chicks ain’t good enough for him or what?

Did they pay for that footage?

It’s a stupid question, but frankly I can’t wait for the reprecussions (sic)

steviedee111 · January 4, 2016, 9:25pm

Trump has been questioned on the feasibility of making Mexico pay for the wall. In reply he implies the U.S. will be compensated by increased/new taxes, tariffs and import fees on goods sold by Mexico to the U.S. So, he thinks starting a trade war is a nice little offshoot of his “Pay for my wall” policy. A twofer, if you will.

castor_troy · January 4, 2016, 9:27pm

Well, they’d certainly be providing the labor. Just like they do for all of Trump’s other construction projects.

ajaykalra · January 4, 2016, 9:30pm

Trump: I am running to be the president of the World, not just USA. The walls all around the world will be build/paid by Mexican rapists. Besides, I couldn’t find any stock footage of mexicans flocking over to US.

arc_of_the_universe · January 4, 2016, 9:36pm

Yes. But, er, you can’t argue with the beauty of the idea.

steviedee111 · January 4, 2016, 9:38pm

Filming the influx of workers every morning at any number of his golf resorts and hotels would have resulted in similar footage.
