Trump Just Got His Whole Wall Paid For In Stealth Move That Won't Cost US A Dime – Genius!

President Trump's biggest promise, while he was campaigning and afterward, was to build

a wall on our southern border with Mexico.

He said that Mexico, in the end, would pay for that wall.

Not only is Trump actually building the wall, he's found a way to indeed make Mexico pay

for it.

Many have ridiculed the president for saying that Mexico would somehow pay for the wall.

But there have always been multiple ways that they could wind up doing so.

Trump never meant to send them a bill… funding would come from a rework of NAFTA, border

fees or tariffs.

According to President Trump, he and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto are set to reach

a trade deal which will be "one of the largest trade deals ever made.

Maybe the largest trade deal ever made."

Trump has renegotiated NAFTA with Mexico.

As far as I know, he scrapped the name and is dealing individually with Mexico and Canada.

President Trump warned Canada on Saturday that it "will be out" of a revised North

American trade agreement unless it's "fair" to the United States, and he threatened to

scrap the current deal should Congress "interfere" with the negotiations.There is no political

necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal," Trump said in one of a series of

tweets.

It is unclear whether the Trump administration has the authority to strike a deal with just

Mexico, as it announced Monday, and exclude Canada.

Also, Congress must approve any rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement and

might refuse to endorse a deal that leaves longtime ally Canada on the sidelines.It is

clear though that through restructuring and renegotiation, Trump plans to recoup the money

that is spent on the wall from Mexico through a version of the North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA).

NAFTA is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States that effectively created

a trilateral trade bloc in North America in 1994 under President Bill Clinton.

The deal lifted tariffs on just about everything that involved Canada, Mexico or the U.S.

It cost America many manufacturing jobs and suppressed wages.

According to the Economic Policy Institute in 2013, some 700,000 jobs were lost as production

moved to Mexico.

The hardest hit states were California, Texas, and Michigan.

NAFTA was an issue that President Trump vowed to address as well when he was elected.

It's yet another promise kept.

Mexico basically elected a tough-talking socialist this time around.

But when Trump brought him to the negotiating table, he folded like a house of cards.

The wall with Mexico will cost approximately $25 billion.

The scuttling and rewriting of NAFTA will allegedly make us many times over that.

So in essence, Trump is forcing Mexico to pay for the wall to be built.Mexican Secretary

of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray Caso tweeted, "We just reached a trade understanding with

the US, and the outlook for the relationship between our two countries is very positive.

We will NEVER pay for a wall, however.

That has been absolutely clear from the very beginning."

If he truly believes that he has blinders on because that was never clear.

In fact, just the opposite.

Many Americans have little doubt that President Trump will find a way for Mexico to pay for

the wall.

From The Hill:

"Videgaray's tweet came in response to comments Trump made during a meeting with

FIFA and U.S. Soccer officials about the 2026 men's World Cup.

"Shortly after praising a joint bid from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to host the tournament

as a "great partnership," Trump was asked about Mexico paying for his border wall.

"The wall will be paid for very easily by Mexico.

It will ultimately be paid for by Mexico," Trump told reporters."Late last month, Trump

threatened to shut down the government if he did not receive adequate funding from the

U.S. Congress for the wall.

Eventually, he may be forced to do just that.

But there are many ways to skin this particular cat.

Mexico is ready to sign the new trade agreement.

Canada is balking but will eventually have to come to the table because they have to.

In 2016, 76.23 percent of their exports were to the U.S. 52.18 percent of their imports

were from the U.S. as well.

President Trump is a master negotiator and doesn't hesitate to play hardball.

Trump plans to call the new deal the "United States-Mexico Trade Agreement."

It will require 75 percent of auto content to be made in the U.S. and Mexico, up from

62.5 percent, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced.

The deal would also require that 40-45 percent of auto content be made by workers earning

at least $16 per hour.According to Sarah Palin, a Fox News op-ed praised the Mexican trade

deal and called it one of the top two "most visible manifestation of Trump's fulfillment

of his campaign promises":

"Second only to the booming economy, Monday's announcement of a deal with Mexico is the

most visible manif
