Will Mexico actually pay for Trump's wall?
Trump has long maintained that he will "build a wall" and Mexico will pay for it—which has become a rallying cry for millions of his supporters.

Skeptics of Trump's wall proposal include the current President of the United States.

Some folks aren't even sure if constructing a wall along the border is actually possible.
But Trump has dismissed any arguments about the feasibility of building 1,989 miles of border fencing.

And will Mexico even pay for the wall? Former Mexican president Vicente Fox responded by dropping the F-bomb.
When pushed, Trump responded to Fox's comments by saying "The wall just got 10 feet higher."
Trump says he would use trade tariffs and the Patriot Act to block wire transfers by citizens to Mexico unless the neighboring country agrees to pay for the wall.

But some experts think Trump's interpretation of the Patriot Act won't hold up in court and would be a gross overreach of executive powers.
Now, Trump is scheduled to meet with Mexico's current president—and it's likely the border wall will come up.

But it's unlikely Trump will find a buyer for his "fabulous" wall.
