Of course you can get out of this lie by making up another lie that no one ever said Mexico will pay for the wall. Go ahead. Don't let me stop you from lying some more.
Very simple. Tell Mexico that if they don’t build the wall, they can no longer export goods here.

Do you know how to read a map?
How large is Israel compared to the borders of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California along the Mexico line?

I'm all for the wall if Mexico pays for it.

Brilliant.

17 million and only $9,983,000,000 to go. Looks like it should get there in about 20 years. Good luck with that. Donations are slowing down.
Trump owns the shutdown, but that's a good thing, because Schumer owned (albeit reluctantly) the previous shutdown and Democrats then won the House.
And in 2013 we saw Republicans blamed for the shutdown, and they won the 2014 midterms.

So you can say goodbye to a whole lot of motor vehicles built there. Like Fords, Dodges, VWs, Nissans, Chevys, Hondas, Kias.

I think he's right. And I expect his approval ratings to rise above the Rasmussen measured 49% among likely voters.
Meanwhile the privately funded border wall effort has collected nearly $17 million.

It's posts like this that make me realize that many Trumpists will continue their mindless support of him, no matter how far down he sinks. They don't seem to have anything else to sustain themselves and they're getting more desperate, as time goes by.
