his base sure seems to believe it and may get testy when it doesn't happen. the ex-president of mexico somewhat coarsely nixed any wall talk.

He would look like a fool if he doesn't built the wall.

And Trump has a huge ego, so yeah , we're getting a wall.

the former president of mexico said "there isn't gonna be any ******* wall." and they certainly will not pay for anything like that. 1,800 miles of wall would be astronomical in cost. ain 't gonna happen.

I have no doubt...there will be a wall.

However, in a few early on speeches Trump gave indications the wall needn't be physical. He left the gate open for an "electronic" wall, which applied properly would save costs and lives. But I noticed he dropped the reference from later speeches.

This could be done quite economically (relatively) and if the Mexican government wanted to continue to enjoy the financial benefits of being our neighbor they will pay for the effort as well...the slimy boogers.

NOTE: Slimy boogers is a reference to governments that promote their citizens illegally traveling to the U.S. and who let them go through the most dangerous conditions...without any government help or support... conditions where many are killed...just so they can profit from monies being sent back to Mexico (about 24.4 billion dollars a year). NOW they will pay back.
