I'm watching Trump press conference on CNN, and this Lame Stream liberal news network showed Donald Trump declare that he has no problem shutting down government if Congress doesn't pay for his wall, and quick. He said it very clearly, and he said it twice.
How dumb does CNN think we are?
Because we already know that Mexico is paying for the wall. We were assured over and over that Mexico is paying. CNN, by showing the President of the United States in his own words, shows their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do they take us for Dummies? Lol. Shutting down our government will really put the pressure on Mexico to pay up.
This is the smartest negotiation ever, in history. Better even than anything Abe Lincoln ever did. And proves the only collusion was with Demicrats.
And if it's not it's Barack Obama's fault.
Also emails.

(31,657 posts)"why do we have to pony up taxpayer money for his wall when he has told us hundreds of times that Mexico is paying for it?" to a Trumpeteer in my local paper yesterday.
He gave me a long and convoluted explanation about renegotiating NAFTA and enacting tariffs and that enacting those policies will guarantee millions more for the U.S. at Mexico's expense.
Okay, fine, I answered. So will the U.S. taxpayers get a rebate check once the tariffs and re-doing NAFTA pays for the wall? I asked.
No response back yet....

Small distinction but it makes all the difference in the world
I love the video where Uncle V. says: Here's your downpayment, Donald, and then gives the one-fingered salute.
Those vids were great. Toy soldiers, anyone? LOL
And yes, the media appears to have selective amnesia about these stupid, broken promises.

(3,622 posts)The wall is going to be built by Mexicans and paid for by Mexico.
I have it on good authority that the process will begin as soon as the final plans have been approved.
It appears that the main sticking point is the insistence that the design must include Mariachi Band platforms, Taco truck parking facilities, and an agreement that no pinche gringos or gringas will ever be allowed to enter Mexico.
As soon as the main pinche gringo agrees the work will start. Upon completion the Mexican government reserves the right to arbitrarily refuse to pay any pinche gringo contractors.

When I first heard this story I thought it was Borowitz. But no it was really real. As scary as that is the US President really said this.

Trump: Border wall needs 'transparency' to protect against bags of drugs being tossed over
Jul 14th 2017 6:05AM
President Trump recently shared his vision for the design of his proposed border wall with Mexico, and it involves "transparency."
During a flight aboard Air Force One Wednesday, Trump told reporters, "One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall...so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall."
The president added, "As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them and they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As [crazy] as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs."
ABC's Jonathan Karl tweeted a White House transcript of Trump's off-the record comments on Thursday after the White House allowed them to be published.
