President Trump: I 'Never Said' Mexico Would Actually Pay For The Wall
Amidst a government shutdown over funding for a border wall, President Trump is pivoting hard away from his campaign rhetoric on the matter, asserting (untruthfully) that while he said that, he didn't actually say that:
Sure, okay.
The president's statement comes soon after White House strategic communications director Mercedes Schlapp told CNN that taxpayers will, in fact, pay for the wall.
