By mexico paying for it he meant that money would be saved by it not going to Mexico, with the 116 billion dollars we lose a year to Mexico staying here instead. He never said the mexican government would pay for it, only in the broad sense that Mexico would pay for it in the long run, and our economy would benefit. xP It's clear from the speech in context

```Well the Build-A-Wallathon has more progress.
Because even the people over there is saying they have no help from congress, because the leftist still wants those mexican votes...
>Don't believe me for mexican votes...
The entire Democratic part is speaking mexican, and Beto changed his name from Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, to get the mexican vote...```
Orange man bad though
Media tell me so
The tariffs on Mexican produce imports have positively affected Americans such as myself in agriculture
@everybodydothatdinosaur are you retarded? if thats the case why did he literally try to pressure mexico for it, even though it was just for like a week
during the election he meant 100% literally
Mexico would pay for it
No he didn't, you can go back and watch his speech xD
I'll find you the transcript, hold on a second
New york times cucked out and it's removed now lol
No, mexico would pay for it as punishment, because they do shit for their people...
Literally fucking cartels are running that country... And women are going missing each week in big cities.

This speech is later on
This barrier is absolutely critical to border security. It’s also what our professionals at the border want and need. This is just common sense. The border wall would very quickly pay for itself. The cost of illegal drugs exceeds $500 billion a year. Vastly more than the $5.7 billion we have requested from Congress. The wall will always be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico.
'Indirectly'
Yeah it would pay for itself, but for most of the time he said it, he said it a lot, he meant literally mexico would send funding
This is back in 2016
And this is the guardian
There was literally talkes trump asking for money from Mexico
No, the media was saying they wanted mexico to send funding.
Mexico said no
but it happened
Trump literally said mexico will pay for it indirectly
Multiple times
Indirectly isn't literal.
"But in the end, Mexico is paying for the wall."
As punishment...
"“What we save on the USMCA — the new trade deal we have with Mexico and Canada — what we save on that, just with Mexico, will pay for the wall many times over just in a period of a year, two years and three years. … So I view that as, absolutely, Mexico is paying for the wall.” This is back in 2015

""The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers... of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting,"- Yes, trade defict
