basically, trump has been using to demagogue to people out there making promises, 100% the mexicans will pay for the wall. you knew that wasn't going to happen. jeb bush, running against him at the time afterwards said, there's no way this wall is going to be built. that's because he knows as well as all the other republicans know that this wall is total nonsense. >> one more fact check from the associated press regarding whether the trade deal could pay for the wall. trade balances depend on too many factors, consumer tastes, exchange rates, overall economic performance and the choices of thousands of companies, for example. some are well outside any government's control. trump specifically promised in his 2016 campaign that mexico would pay for the wall. it is not doing so. the facts are against this wall. the president's base is for this wall.
