Let's see the exact quote and context, Liarboy.
Biden the president - approved building of 50 miles of additional
border wall. Not only approved, waived all kinds of legal obstacles,
essentially using emergency powers, to get it done.
Trump as Candidate - we're going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it. >>
Trump the indicted - "There was no legal mechanism. How do you go to a
country and say 'I’m building a wall. Hand us a lot of money.'"

Wait:
You'll tell us Trump was only speaking figuratively...
...right, Liarboy?
You, Fool, are the LIAR: Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico that MORE THAN PAID for the wall he built.

Tell me, Sunshine:
When a tariff is imposed on goods imported into a country...
...who ends up paying that money?
No matter. Let's get to the really good part!
And (as always), you should read a little more before you cite:
'However, on May 30, Trump unilaterally announced his intention to
impose a five percent tariff on all imports from Mexico beginning on June 10
...
The tariffs were averted on June 7 after negotiations.'
So...
...as always...
...you just got it wrong, Sunshine.
