"Straight Shooter" Responds to Simple Question About Border Wall With Word Salad

Donald Trump has a reputation, among a not-insignificant portion of the American electorate, as someone who "tells it like it is." This is particularly ironic not just because evidence abounds that Trump is especially dishonest even for a politician, but because his most outrageous "straight talk"-type comments are in fact almost always accompanied by extensively self-contradictory, dissembling nonsense babble. The candidate's interview Thursday with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham was a classic example of the genre...

Trump went on Laura Ingraham's radio show. She asked him why he claimed that he and Peña Nieto didn't discuss who would pay for the wall. Trump responded by totally clearing up the confusion with a straight-shooting, tell-it-like-it-is explanation. Just kidding! He said whatever this is:

"No, no, I didn't say—I didn't say that. No, no, I just saw it on television. Actually, I said, no, we did discuss the wall. And I actually said that and, you know, I guess it was a question that was asked. I said—they said, did you discuss the wall. I said we did discuss the wall. So the wall was basically discussed."


Wow—I hope you have your ticket, because the Straight Talk Express is about to leave the station and Donald Trump is driving it! "Actually, I said, no, we did discuss the wall. And I actually said that and, you know, I guess it was a question that was asked."

Funny, I haven't seen any evidence to support FRight's claim.

Have you?

This is what Trump said. "Having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. We recognize the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall," Trump said.

"We" means him and the mouse in his pocket.

FRight said the Mexican president agreed with Trump.

MexPrez agreed with Trump that the wall would be good for both of them.

Is there a quote from the Mexican president that supports that contention?
