Trump doubles down and claims that Mexico will pay for the border wall after begging Democrats for the money
@realDonaldTrump Mexico has already stated point blank that they will not pay for the border wall: https://t.co/OAFVurLqim pic.twitter.com/SqpKxNReZ6

El Presidente Trumpo took to Twitter to reassure his followers that Mexico will indeed pay for the border wall.
Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall.

I would have my doubts – the Trump admin. admitted trying to sell the border wall to the Democrats by saying they would give $1 to Obamacare subsidies for every $1 for the wall. Doesn’t that sound like he’s given up on making Mexico pay for it?
Anyway, the Dems laughed in his face, which was part of his incredible negotiation strategy, the trumpers assure me.
Trump also touted a new WSJ/NBC poll because it had some good numbers about him:

What he doesn’t mention is that his favorability is one of the worst in U.S. presidential history for this point of their term.
And that’s not a small problem:

So, the first hundred days have good and bad. What’s clear is that his temperament has not improved since being elected. And now the question is whether he succeed despite that shortcoming, or overcome it.
