He still says Mexico will pay for it, just in a different way

Remittances refer to a tax or fee on payments sent overseas, such as when immigrants working in the United States send money home to family in Mexico, an idea Trump has floated in the past without much success.

Trump’s promise to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it was a signature theme of his 2016 campaign, leading to chants from the crowd at his rallies. Since the election, Trump has built 300 miles of wall, although much of that was a replacement for existing border fencing. Just 5 miles are new wall.

Mexico hasn’t paid for it. Instead, Trump used U.S. taxpayer money for the segments of wall built during his administration andHe also claimed Mexico would pay via the benefits the United States may receive under a renegotiated trade deal, a claim that hasn’t held up to scrutiny.

Harris meets Jacob Blake's family, Trump goes on attack in Labour Day blitzU.S. Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris met the family of a Wisconsin man shot by police last month to kick off her Labor Day visit to a critical swing state, while President Donald Trump assailed the Democratic ticket and tried to put the halting economic recovery under the best light. No fan of Blake here.. Trump”s News conference was quite informative. HeelsUpHarris, the hated bigot, one of the first to drop out of the presidential race because no one donated to her, accused her opponent (who she now works for) of sexual assault, now cosies up to a black sexual assaulter to pander for black votes. She’s lucky she’s not Jewish.
