'Hannity on the Road': Donald Trump | Fox News

TRUMP: And they are being drained out of our country, our jobs, our money, our base, and our factories. We are – we’re going to stop this.

HANNITY: You don’t expect he’s going to write a check, but what you’re saying is that they will have to make concessions.

TRUMP: Well, there’s many different ways.

HANNITY: So in other words, you don’t expect Mexico to say…

TRUMP: No. No.

HANNITY: … Yes, Mr. Trump, here’s a check for $10 billion.

TRUMP: Because politically, it’s not feasible. It wouldn’t look good.

HANNITY: So you think the deals that you make will more than compensate for the wall.

TRUMP: Yes, even if we tax them. We may tax them, OK? It doesn’t make any difference.

Look, we lose a tremendous amount of money. We have a trade deficit with Mexico, $58 billion a year. People don’t know that. The wall’s going to cost $10 billion dollars, OK? That’s a Trump wall, beautiful wall. It’ll be done properly.

Lol thanks for posting that. Literally none of that makes any sense. It’s like a burbling brook of words.

He changes his story a lot… this admin is terrible at messaging. What he said to Sean he never chanted at a rally.

Trade deal revenue goes to the private sector anyway. How does that revenue get into the treasury?

It doesn’t.

niklord · 2019-01-07T05:06:43.077Z

Ok, hmmm never knew what he chanted at a rally had to be the exact same?! Nearly every politician, I have ever seen on a stage, tailors a message to each audience. I didn’t know there was ONE standard.
Now, I will use my economic degree to help you on the trade deal. (didn’t expect this forum to need remedial classes but…) So say under pre-NAFTA there are 200 companies in a particular economic sector. Those companies are paying X amount in local, state, employee, federal taxes. Plus all the secondary economic functions of maintaining a facility and support functions…
After Nafta (trump and even many big labor/ dems) have argued that the trade deal has enticed and encouraged say 100 of those companies to leave. With them leaving, all the above (pre-nafta) is lost.
Now DJT says if we write a more favorable trade deal perhaps 50 of those companies are coming back. When they come back so does the economic benefits to the US.
Then there is also the issue of cheating and the way the percentages of assembly and manufacturing have been abused by especially the chinese.
“Trade deal revenue goes to the private sector anyway” if this were true then there would be no taxes, licenses, fees issued by the govt. Which we know isn’t true.

niklord · 2019-01-07T05:10:00.171Z

before someone tries to point out Nafta isn’t w/ china…I know that. However, many asian countries have found loopholes to getting products into US by way of Nafta countries. The WSJ did a number of investigations and Secretary Lighthouser (sp) has spoken about it.

niklord · 2019-01-07T05:13:59.238Z

Really? So if there are 10 companies that start business in 2019 and they are profitable and employee 100 people each…the US treasury doesn’t tax/ collect from those companies in the next 12 months, they don’t collect taxes from the employees?

“Build that wall! Build that wall!! Who’s gonna pay for it??? Mexico” that’s not a campaign slogan… that’s a direct policy.

No amount of remidial economics will get pass the basics of the English language. Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. Paying for something is a direct action… your novel could have been summed up as… Trump lied and US taxpayers are paying for the wall.

WildRose · 2019-01-07T10:21:40.345Z

As of 2017 the trade deficit was 71Bn. Remittances to MX topped petroleum as the single biggest part of their economy as of 2015.

Cost of Illegals in the US is around 150bn.

Finish the Wall =-5,000,000,000
Trade deficit =71,000,000,000
___________+66,000,000,000

Secure the border including completing the wall , tax all remittances sent to MX not going to a US citizen, and Increase the ICE field agen workforce 10 fold so they have the resources to do their jobs. Expand the immigration courts as necessary to deal with the backlog and new cases.

The wall pays for itself before even a small fraction of the Illegals currently in the US can be remove.

How is it we lose by securing the border again?

Biggestal99 says:

All illegal immigration 200 foot wall around the whole United States.

How will it stop visa overstayers?

WildRose · 2019-01-07T10:23:55.625Z

So there’s no taxes on any of it or taxes paid by the employer and employees?

I have been attempting to find the interview (date/time) that sean had w/ trump during the election season. Specifically, it’s the clip sean plays often where he says to DJT, you don’t expect them (mexico) to write a check do you? DJT says to sean, no, but they will through policy or something to that effect.

I appreciate the help

Trump is Cool…

Kyshia · 2019-01-07T20:02:24.124Z

The Trump Wall is just as cool as the Trump Christmas Shutdown.

niklord · 2019-01-08T02:23:03.571Z

What D politician could you NOT write the above about? Why does everyone want to make these macro-statements / standards that they have never held other politicians to?

My favorite is when (EVEN SOME Trump) supporters start by saying, “did you hear trump say he going to do X, well I don’t agree with everything he says but he is right about X.”

Why this self-shaming or censoring or need to separate themselves…Question- what frickin President did you EVER agree with EVERYTHING they ever said or did? I always ask a person so which president did you ever agree with 100% ?

Konssurvative1 · 2019-01-08T02:34:36.717Z

So in essence, Trump said they’d pay for it, but didn’t mean they’d pay for it…but maybe by the money saved or made by the revised NAFTA…there would be enough for the wall? So what we have here is a total “I can see Russia from my backyard” situation? You know the line liberals like to attribute to Sarah Palin but give no credit to Tina Fey for actually saying it.

What i mean is that the media has disregarded reality…and played loose and easy with the truth?

Going forward I will never use this statement to criticize DJT on this. I realize that this interview was after he made this statement on the campaign trail.

niklord · 2019-01-08T02:34:59.442Z

I mean, really? of all the foolish things to do, maintain “pay” has only ONE meaning. When the whole point of the thread or post is to point out, to the poorly informed and educated, that the President (when campaigning) was directly asked “do you think they are gonna write a check?” …“do you think they are gonna write a check for 10 billion?”
And the President says “no” and describes other ways they’’ pay. There are 2 examples of it in the post plus another one from a business interview someone pointed out.
It’s your fault you literally decided “pay” has one meaning even though he said MULTIPLE TIMES your interpretation may be in error.

PurpnGold · 2019-01-08T02:40:15.549Z

If I save money at wal mart buying toothpaste… does that mean when I buy my floss…wall mart is paying for it?

There is one glaring difference between Mr. Trump and every other President that came before him. Mr. Trump is of the literal worst moral character that society has to offer. He is not comparable to any other President in this regard. He is immoral, unethical, lacks integrity, lacks intellectual curiosity, lacks work ethic, and is a despising human being.

adroit · 2019-01-08T17:40:10.641Z

One thing is for sure, some people, including the President, don’t understand what a “trade deficit” is.

niklord · 2019-01-09T02:32:16.189Z

Sorry your just crazy, name your favorite D in last 25 years? Go there, tell me how moral barrack was, tell me about the leader of the Senate - Byrd, tell me about the “lion” of the Senate - kennedy, the crook - hillary, and the low life, trailer trash Bill clinton…how about the real estate thief dirty harry reid and all the family he illegally enriched…wait there is more - how about the current house leader mad maxine waters - do you know about her bank deals / husbands finances?

Please spare me, you need lots of help reading about the “leaders” …ever heard the reading of the time logs during obamas presidency? Ever notice he was in by 10-11 am and gone by 4pm? No you did not, because you lacked “intellectual curiosity” and one last thing - ever catch the numerous times obama had a power outage or teleprompter malfunction? Ummm, duhhh, mmmm, ddduh, ummmummm…real Einstein! LOL

LucyLou · 2019-01-09T02:45:56.371Z

Those 10 companies in your hypothetical aren’t “Mexico”.
In your previous post, you discussed companies sending manufacturing abroad. Then maybe keeping it in the US after this new deal - those companies aren’t ‘Mexico’. In fact, in that hypothetical they are US companies.
Increase in trade with mexico in no way is the same as ‘Mexico paying for the wall’. An increase in trade simply means more private corporations are doing business together. Any increase in taxes goes into the general fund. And incidentally, an increase in trade results in an increase in costs for the government. ie: the more trade we do with mexico, the more the federal government has to spend on the highway system becseo of increased use.
