Didn't you see that one coming ttbn?
I figured he'd pull some sneaky move like this saying if you don't pay for the wall, we'll just charge you more in trade tarifs, border entry fees, and bill you for the cost of illegals caught in our country as well.

Risky kind of move; considering Mexican President Nieto has already skitz'ed out publicly saying "I'm not paying for that f-ing wall".

These leaders reputations are at stake and someone is going to have to blink first.
Mexican President may look weak and lose power, but realistically has no choice but to concede - other than war, which would be foolish of course.

Rex Tillerson's statements have been rather concerning.

"Yeah, Hitler was such a sensitive guy I am sure he would have taken up water colours if only someone had the smarts to have laughed at him."
His water colour art was boring. If everyone at the big parades did the finger-moustache and flappy hand wave he'd either 1) turn red and run 2) send in the lads with bayonets.

Someone mentioned Congress and the courts. Congress is like the Roman Senate, where Caligula made his horse a member. Does The Donald own a horse? or a cow or a chicken. Can a chicken be made a judge? No matter.

What is this about $17 billion for a wall, isn't there a secondhand wall going cheap on 'Gumtree' one that's no longer wanted by the Berliners'. Besides if The Donald builds a wall, how will all those unemployed Americans reach the promised land of Lebensfrohe to the south? Oh! that's right there will be no unemployed they will be too busy building walls.

Has the Reichstag burned down yet? Is Mexico a suspect?

We can only thank God, that God's an American, otherwise we would be in real trouble with The Donald leading the Free World. Opps, God is mow working for The Donald, as a consultant presenting the alternate facts, sorry about that.

He is more impressive now after meeting Theresa May without grabbing compared with fellow TV presenter Rolf Harris.

Re "The Wall" and who will pay for it, how does placing a tariff on Mexican imports cost Mexico other than making its products less competitive in the US market?

It's the American consumer that pays for the wall through tariffs, making Trump's promise a broken one. And is it even a wall, or just a fence?

BTW, Mexicans are excellent tunnellers.
