    It isn't click bait. There are popups, ads, and a host of bandwidth-eating frames, but it isn't click bait. The whole article appears when clicking the link.

    Any comment on the the content?

    Does it matter? We get a better trade deal and apply savings to the wall. Simple as that.

    Yes, it matters. Money has to be appropriated. Where's it coming from?

    No it doesn't. Not to me anyway. Congress will build the wall, and the US will be reimbursed by the good trade deal. It all works out in the end. More importantly lives will be saved.

    There is no cash flow from the supposed deal to pay for a wall.

    Of course there is. It's just not direct. Money flows into the US, people get jobs government revenue goes up.

    And there may never be.It's not a deal yet, and then someone will have to make calculations to see if there's a net loss or gain.

    We'll at least you're not in denial about this anymore.

    Yes, the deal has to be made (though it's all but done). Then, hopefully you'll be able to admit Trump got Mexico to pay for the wall.

    What wall? Has the legislation been passed to build the wall? I must have missed that...

    So you'd rather build now and pay later?

    Apparently Trump supporters will invoke any type of mental gymnastics to fulfill Trump's promise to have Mexico pay for wall that doesn't exist and Congress refuses to authorize or pay for.

    And Trump haters force themselves to see failure in everything. You can't even enjoy a trade deal victory.
