Stupid border wall

SpeedRacerXXX's Avatar
I was just watching Trump's press conference. At least 2 people questioned him about "the wall" and he conveniently avoided the funding question. He said that the U.S. will be taking in billions and billions of additional money, primarily from Mexico, due to NAFTA being replaced with the USMCA and this essentially means that Mexico will be paying for the wall. I personally don't know how but let's assume it is true.

If Mexico is paying for the wall through the USMCA, why is Trump demanding $5 billion + in the budget?

Let's end the shut down. No money needed for the wall. Mexico is paying for it. Or is Trump lying?

Most construction projects get financing which is paid back later from some source.

Any businessman knows that. But then again political pundits are not businessmen like Trump.

Aww, do I sense jealously for a guy who has had hundreds of businesses and business ventures, whose companies still employ and give livelihood to 20+ K employees.

Was also a successful media personality and above all got more electoral college votes in the last election to secure office as POTUS.

If only we could all fail so miserably.

You are talking about business loans. Mexico giving us money through USMCA is not a loan. Trump says it is worth billions and billions to the U.S. Trump is not shutting down the government and asking for a "loan" until we reap the benefits of the USMCA. He is double-dipping -- billions coming in from USMCA and 5+ billion from taxpayers.

Even lil Chucky Schumer was for building a barrier along the border ... "far more secure...created a significant barrier to illegal immigration"... until he wasn't. See at 4:50:

His hotels and resorts are full of undocumented workers. Texas construction sites are a minimum of 80% undocumented workers hired by "MAGA" mentality white people
