Experts on immigration policy told CNN they had no idea what the term 'redemption money' means. Trump is paying for the wall with a combination of US taxpayer money Congress has allocated to the project and funding he is diverting from the military.

Washington President Donald Trump, ever the reality television star, had been hinting that a big reveal was coming.

Trump ran for the presidency on a signature promise to make Mexico pay for a giant wall on its own border. Mexico has not paid. But Trump insisted at campaign rallies in January that, at some point in the future, people would learn how Mexico has indeed been paying.At a rally in New Hampshire on Monday, he offered something resembling an explanation."You do know who's paying for the wall, don't you? Redemption. From illegal aliens that are coming in," he said.

Wait. You’re saying President Donald J. Trump made a false and misleading statement at a campaign rally Shocking. Next up... republicans blame climate change, which doesn’t exist, on Hillary’s emails.

I really don’t care where the money comes from. We as a nation have to protect our borders. Just like any other country.

Fact check.. CNN falsely claims that they work with experts.

OH NO not another lie.

The dude said he will build the wall and he is building them. He said he will make mexico pays for the wall..mexico is not only paying through tarifg now , they are now a standing wall against immigration..Give it to Donald folks

Trump has stolen $ his whole life...what would make you think being president would change him

Apparently the Demoncrat Party provided no support/financial assistance to a black or brown POTUS candidate. Why are blacks/browns/Catholics supporting the Demoncrats?

Funny how all of the sudden people care about so many issues when there is a Republican in office.

Should think you would be embarrassed by now with your 'fact checking '.

CNN’s immigration experts

Trump lying & destroying democracy

One life saved because 'some people' never infiltrated our country is worth whatever millions you leftists are griping about. And, it's thousands of American lives saved. What's that worth do you think?

Lol he sent Mexico a PayPal money request.......🤣🤣🤣🤣

buildthatwall

Leave it up to the experts, he's not even supposed to be president. But ay, what can you expect from 'fake news

Money well spent.

So what happened to '... and Mexico will pay for it'?

tRUMP REDIRECTED FUNDING TO THE TMILITARY AND VETERAN GROUPS AND REDIRECTED THAT FUNDING TOWARDS THE WALL PROJECT. WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A 5X DEFERMENT OFFENDER-NEVER SERVED OUR COUNTRY!

I see no reason to doubt him... certainly not over 15,000 reason.

I have to say I do find I amusing now that realDonaldTrump spud more false clams than truths and the American public eats it right up. It’s sad really

During the 2016 campaign tRump’s campaign sent the Washing Post a memo detailing its plan for Mexico to make “a one-time payment of $5-10 billion” to pay for the border wall.

I think he meant 'remittance', but his drug addled, dementia ridden mind screwed it up.

Doesn’t matter he lied 🤥 in his campaign that Mexico was going to pay for it. Doesn’t matter how many times he lies. Here is another lie besides countless others, he is the king for sure of lies.

I thought Mexico was paying for the wall.. Lie number 34,568 from realDonaldTrump . And his supporters are too stupid to see it.

The past two years, Trump has taken money out of base infrastructure projects (including housing) and even cut the budgets for re enlistment bonuses and tuition assistance for service members.

FREDOS BROTHER THINKS HE CAN TAKE ON THAT MAN . MAIBE FREDO HAS A TWIN

Fact checking from the Hate Trump network is hilarious.

He is totally incapable of ever telling the truth...it goes with being a narcissist...

Fact Check: Trump's mouth opens--NOTHING HONEST emerges.

Uh. Maybe ask Trump what he means. Seems kind of basic journalism.

Trump is a blatant and proven liar. The people that just take him at his word are... special, to put it nicely. Wtf.

After years of defending the policy, Bloomberg has recently walked back his stance, and in a recent interview his Campaign Manager Kevin Sheekey told MSNBC’s Ari Melber that “Mike got it wrong.” Former Federal Prosecutor and Overseer of NYPD Oversight Board Maya Wiley joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber to discuss Bloomberg’s stop and frisk policy that was “traumatizing black and Latino” citizens.
