The Mexican president backed trump into a wall, by refusing to say that Mexico will pay for the trump wall, and trump pleaded and begged, admitting that he has to build the wall since he promised it over and over again.

Now trump has to finally tell the truth, the Americans will pay for his wall, if it ever gets built.

But trumpers are so stupid, they will believe the very next trump lie again.

meanwhile, they will be forking over 20-30 billion dollars on the trump monument to himself

we don’t need a wall people will just go over around under or through the damn thing, it is a waste of money. Mexico will never pay for the thing they have many better things to spend money on.

From under what rock do you crawl? The Mexicans will pay for the wall as follows: Billions of dollars of drug money is repatriated from the US to Mexico each month. The cartels in Mexico do not store the money under a mattress but it enters the Mexican economy where it is invested legitimately or illegitimately. Once the wall is built, the flow of drug money will largely cease, probably costing Mexico more than $50 billion per year. Why do you think the Mexican government is so vigorously against us building the wall?

For your small mind to never consider, Trump shuts down the Mexican border, no cars, no planes, no trains, no foot traffic. In 48 hours, Pina will be writing a check to the US Treasury Department.

Alsop shut down all mail and wire transfers from the USA to Mexico. No money being sent home let Mexico pay for their own citizens. That would assist Pina in writing its check to the US treasury Department as well.

Again, you did not read your own article. It would seem that "Peña Nieto had tried to persuade Trump to publicly acknowledge that Mexico will refuse to pay for the border wall, as Trump repeatedly vowed during his presidential campaign."
One way or the other Mexico will pay for the wall. If Mexicans can not sell their drugs in the states and send their profits
"home" that alone will pay for the wall. The money we will save in support of illegals will pay for the upkeep. In the end, Mexico will be angry, but the wall will cost them!

You have no clue how money flows, do you?

You are really disgusting. Even now, every man running for President in Mexico is running on a stop Trump's wall ticket. I think some misunderstood how Trump meant to have the Mexicans pay for the wall. Perhaps, he meant through trade tariffs.

Good response. We need to send them home and block more from coming in. Watch the Canadian border as well. While we concentrate on our Southern border, we can't keep up with Trudeau's mischief making. The Canadians made a big mistake there.

(CNN)Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has called off an official trip to Washington to meet with President Donald Trump after a tense phone call brought the two leaders to a policy-driven standstill.

Peña Nieto was tentatively planning the trip for March, a White House official said, but the official confirmed to CNN that the trip was put on hold following the phone call, which took place on February 20.
According to The Washington Post, which first reported the cancellation, officials from both countries told the paper that Peña Nieto "called off the plan after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico's position that it would not fund construction of a border wall."
A White House official told CNN that any meeting would be awkward and counterproductive given Trump's vow that Mexico would pay for the wall.


The official said the call was "less hostile" than the one that occurred between the two leaders a year ago, but "no more productive" than that call either.
At least one Mexican official, who spoke to the Post on the condition of anonymity, said Trump "lost his temper." US officials described the President as being "frustrated and exasperated, saying Trump believed it was unreasonable for Peña Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing campaign promise of forcing Mexico to pay for the wall."
According to the Post's report, the two leaders "devoted a considerable portion" of this year's call to discussing the wall.
According to the paper, officials from both countries confirmed that Peña Nieto's "desire to avoid public embarrassment — and Trump's unwillingness to provide that assurance — that proved to be the dealbreaker."
This story was updated to reflect the timing of Peña Nieto's tentative visit.

LOL, good luck there.

Mexico can say no all it wants to. Mexico will pay for the wall, many ways to collect from the land of sell out politicians, from the president down. Ask former Mexico's President Salinas de Gotari that supposedly accepted money from the cartels. I say supposedly in case he tries to sue me, but everybody in Mexico knows.

Nevertheless, money is fungible, America holds the high cards and there's more than one way to address a problem.

Trump isn't the one in a tight corner.
