Donald Trump's promise to build a massive, $8 Billion wall along the southern border of the United States - and force Mexico to pay for it - has been a staple of his stump speeches since before he even announced his candidacy. It's drawn both applause and ridicule, as well as the standard left-wing charges of racism, from day one. Now, we know what at least one former President of Mexico thinks about it.
Felipe Calderon thinks it's "stupid" and says his country will "never pay" for such a thing.Donald Trump may want to build a wall across the U.S. southern border to keep Mexican migrants out but don't expect Mexico to pay for it, former President Felipe Calderon told CNBC, calling the billionaire a "not very well-informed man." The GOP presidential hopeful insisted in October that if elected, he would build a wall along the Mexican border and get Mexico to pay for it. But Calderon, Mexico's president from 2006 to 2012, told CNBC on Saturday that there was no way that Mexico would pay for it. "Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall! And it's going to be completely useless," Calderon said.Apparently, Calderon's words have reached the Donald's ears. He offered his response earlier today on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." It was, in usual Trump fashion, short, blunt, and to the point.
"Now the wall just got taller."...And that's why people love Trump. The video appears below, via The Blaze.
