White House aide Tom Bossert gave the following statements regarding Mexico footing the bill for the wall:
The Art Of The Deal
President Trump is a world class negotiator. He will get the wall built. Mexico will pay for the wall, one way or the other. Mexico may not write a check to America for X amount of dollars, however they will fund the wall one way or another.
Many of the President’s critics doubt his ability to get Mexico to pay for the wall. They claim he’s a con artist and a liar, but underestimating President Trump is very unwise. He has plenty of experience with building great monuments. The wall is necessary to end illegal immigration once and for all. If Mexico wants to do any business with America, they are going to have to pay for the wall one way or the other.
