from January (or when the administration and their surrogates really began to stall for time.)

“When you understand that Mexico’s economy is dependent upon US consumers, Donald Trump has all the cards he needs to play,” Collins, congressional liaison for the Trump transition team, told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.” “On the trade negotiation side, I don’t think it’s that difficult for Donald Trump to convince Mexico that it’s in their best interest to reimburse us for building the wall.”

The magic lightning never struck, I guess. He was certainly something fresh, all those years ago. I was in music myself and we all noticed him.

He always doubles down on the thing that’s caused him problems to begin with. Always. He always, always always takes a bad situation and makes it five times worse for himself. He never fails to fail. Always.

Trump is introducing the concept of non monetary payment. USA will have to pay in cash, but Mexico can “pay” by having some Trump acolyte blow smoke up your rear end.

Many but how many in his moron Army will roar tbeir passionate approval of this?

for example

Folks have seemingly forgotten that the wall was supposed to have been built, via mucking with the Patriot Act.

That idea ended rather quickly around the time of the ‘Gettysburg Reboot’…

…which was also around the time that he was gasping for air, as it related to those sexual harassment charges.

Ait it weird how 2016 hasn’t ended yet?

So - we’re back to the beginning. Mexico will pay for it.

So let’s go around and around again. Vincente Fox - Mexico isn’t paying for the fucking wall. US taxpayers - we don’t want that fucking wall.

Shall we keep going in this circle indefinitely? Fine. There is still no wall and none will be built.

“Trump: Mexico Will Pay ‘At A Later Date’ And ‘In Some Form’ For My Border Wall.”

Perhaps he is going to have them collect pop bottles for the deposits.

“Eventually,
but at a later date
Mexico will be paying
in some form
for the badly needed border wall.”

I like the arrangement. It reads like badly written haiku, but Trump’s supporters will be able to understand it.

“Totally not bonkers”
Hey, that Crackerbox of a Bartiromo interview convinced me. Wapo had it highlighted so all the divorce from reality stood out. Maybe our best hope is he just gets worse. I’m pretty sure the Football is already “Down for repairs, Mr. President”

So American consumers will pay more for products made or assembled in whole or part in Mexico to offset 20% tax and Mexico is paying for the wall how? Art of the deal.
