I'm surprised they would hold him to it. I would have thought they would pivot with rubes that later developed the story about trade agreements and tax remittances.He typically said shit he knew was not true, but the truth was not important to him or his followers. He was going claim to have his wall despite even immigration hawks being dubious of building it or it having much benefit.Bingo. He shot off his big fat orange mouth and the rubes believed him while everyone else just smirked. When questioned he folded like rag on a laundry line.He never said anything during his campaign, aside from "Mexico will pay for the wall". I remember clearly the line of questioning.
"You say Mexico will pay for the wall, but how will they pay for it?"
"They'll pay for it."
"Yeah, but how will they pay for it?"
"They will pay for it."
"But I'm asking how you'll get them to pay for it."
"You'll see. They'll pay for it."
The reason he never went into detail is because he had no idea how they would pay for it. It's was nothing more than campaign bullshit rhetoric.
Now he's being held to his boast being truthful by .... wait for it .... Coulter and Rush. Is that fucking ironic or what? LOL
