... AND Mexico will pay for it.

It is infuriating that so called journalists are saying Trump is just trying to keep a campaign promise to build the wall.

Over and over he said Mexico will pay for the wall.

He is keeping a campaign promise by making the USA pay for the wall, and there is a false legitimacy given to his argument when journalists say he's just trying to keep a campaign promise.

In fact, he has shut down the government in order to break that promise.
