He never said Mexico is going to write a direct check for the wall.

It was proposed to either do a remittance tax, trade deal, or other methods.

He accomplished the USMCA and got a better deal than NAFTA which frees up funds to pay for the wall.

Replacing NAFTA is a huge fucking thing that I feel is an underrated accomplishment.

Honestly I don't care if Mexico paid for it at all. The cost of illegal immigrants on social services far outweighs the cost of a wall. I'm just glad he actually built the damn thing, even Reagan couldn't do that, he would have finished if he wasn't cheated out of the rest of his term.
