“Promises made. Promises kept.” That was one of the banners and signs displayed throughout Trump's campaign and presidential rallies dating back before the 2020 election. However, Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R-FL) believes that former President Trump (R) has not come through on all of his promises, especially the notion that the southern border would be completely sealed off and that Mexico was going to pay for it.
At a recent rally in Iowa, President Trump stated, “Well, there was no legal mechanism,” and “How do you go to a country and say, ‘By the way, I’m building a wall, hand us a lot of money’?”
Gov. DeSantis was surprised to hear the former President declare that the axiomatic rallying cry of his campaign, “build the wall and make Mexico pay for it” was never possible in the first place – According to President Trump.
I will fulfill the promise that Donald Trump made in 2016 to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.
