At what point does it become Mexico’s money? You’re playing on semantics here and you know it. True, it is “our” money. But once we hand it over to them, it becomes their money. It is already “earmarked” for them.Our aid to Mexico is still our money.
By not turning it over, Mexico does in effect, end up paying for the wall. But much more to the point and more cut & dry, threatening to withhold aid permanently will result in Mexico paying for the wall (not via our aid).
Will President Trump have the backbone to do it? I have no idea. But I do know that declaring he “lied” about this issue when it hasn’t even started it beyond bizarre and absurd. Hell, at this point, the lie is much more likely to be that he would even build the wall than it is to be about who paid for it. She’s so desperate for a Trump lie, she won’t even wait for the lie to actually come to fruition. She just arbitrarily declares it in advance.
