You're presenting an unsupported hypothetical while also assuming to speak for what others think.

He said Mexico would pay for the wall.  Did you forget that?

No, but your assertion was that Trump said Mexico owed us money. Do you deny their (in)actions have cost the U.S. large amounts of expenditure? For the record, I was never onboard with Mexico paying for the wall, but it would have been achievable. Instead, because of democrats, we continue to pour billions into increasingly futile attempts at controlling the southern border and secretly relocating hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of illegal immigrants throughout the country.
