President Trump said his administration may impose a 'toll' on cars crossing into the U.S. from Mexico to finance construction of his promised wall on the southern border.

In Arizona and Texas, border wall construction has sped up over the objections of residents and environmentalists

On the border wall, Trump has long faced criticism that he has failed to meet a campaign promise to make Mexico pay to build it. He has instead redirected billions of dollars from the Pentagon to finance construction, sparking a legal fight with the U.S. House, which did not authorize the spending. “Mexico is paying for the wall, yeah,” he said in answer to a reporter’s questions about the claim Mexico would finance construction. Mexican officials have said they will never pay for the wall.He and other officials at the Yuma event declined to say how much the toll would be, and moments later Trump said “we may do it as a tax, money being sent into Mexico” — a reference to his occasional suggestion that the U.S. may tax remittances to the country.

Also during the wide-ranging event, Trump called a former senior aide in his administration who publicly endorsed Joe Biden on Monday “a lowlife” and said he had never met him., who was chief of staff to former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, taped an ad for the group Republican Voters Against Trump in which he says Trump “wanted to exploit” the agency “for his own political purposes.

“He was one of the most unfocused and undisciplined senior executives I’ve ever encountered,” Taylor said in the ad, released online Monday. He said he realized: “The president was ill equipped and wouldn’t become equipped to do his job effectively, and what’s worse, was actively doing damage to our security.”Trump said that he had never met Taylor — a slight the president often employs to belittle critics.

Never happen.... Joke of the week

This guy rants like a dude who’s been doing coke all night

Still going on about this wall...!!! Better come up with new content. The wall's tired.

too little, too late, too stupid.

Que bien chinga con ese muro

😂 Imigine if they deport all the field workers, slaughter and meat packers right now? Yet Trump is still on his anti Hispanic rants. If I were in politics and I’m not. I would start working on a improved guest worker and visa program JUST for Mexico. Plan Demi’s is getting worse

Oh, like a tax

He said Mexico was going to pay for the wall. You been Trumped !

has anyone got to the Trump website and read his platform or his ideas of what he wants to do for 2021 vs Biden? I have, simple TRUMP HAS NONE

He’s such a duffus. The whole world thinks so. Even the world leaders doing dodgy deals with him think he’s a duffus. Especially Putin.

“Trump says” a lie will inevitably follow.

Build it!

He's back to that con?

Lies...

His 3 miles of Wall? 😂😂😂

May? You promised will. From Will to May, we are paying the billions for the 3 miles that’s keeps on falling.

Trump has totally lost the plot, he’s delusional, disgusting and distracted from the main game, he will do everything to avoid talking about the election.

Btw,greetings from Mexico! realDonaldTrump Looks like they’re still big fans of yours!

.

So this is still true...... Who would’ve guessed...

realDonaldTrump thought you had that figured out back in 2016 and that Mexico was paying for it, i recall you bellowing jingoistic words to that effect during your campaign, what happened ?

why does the media report every bit of nonsense Trump spews but then refuses to hold him accountable? This is why we HATE YOU

Stop trying to make the wall happen, it’s not going to happen 🙄

He Stated during his Campaign that Mexico WOULD Pay for the Wall GONEinNOVEMBER

That’s a minority of Americans paying for it , what happened to the wall anyway ,, is it still there ? Is trump still president ? Sorry I on my way for a cognitive test , then a covid one if the result of the cognitive works out I going to run for Republican seat in the local WC

The Obama administration and Joe Biden deported 2.8 million Mexicans, the highest number in history PanAmPost_es

realDonaldTrump has had four years to figure out how to get Mexico to pay for his stupid wall, and Americans are STILL going to pay for it.

Donnie. Stop.

Operative word = may

Trump has spent billions already on his vanity wall with less than 2 miles to show for it. And some of that fell down. Where did the money go? He doesn't need more money. Just a stunt to claim an election stupid promise.

Mexico isn’t gonna pay for the wall? 🤣

But, but you said Mexico would pay dumbass

So Americans WILL still pay for the wall. Hahaha!

So Mexico is still not paying for it.
