This isn’t even the first time he’s been fact-checked on trying to walk back this very claim, as per [this 2019 article:](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-claims-mexico-pay-wall-check/story?id=60290146) > [@](#): > > President [Donald Trump](https://abcnews.go.com/alerts/donald-trump) claimed Thursday that while he repeatedly said during his campaign and after gaining the White House that [Mexico](https://abcnews.go.com/alerts/mexico) [would pay](https://abcnews.go.com/beta-story-container/Politics/trump-claims-evidence-mexico-pay-border-wall-trade/story?id=59797292) for his proposed border wall, he “never meant they’re going to write out a check.” > > But in 2016, his campaign’s plan for financing the wall called for a one-time payment from Mexico … basically, a check. > > In a two-page [memo posted on its website](https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/Pay_for_the_Wall.pdf), the Trump campaign outlined how he and his administration would compel Mexico to pay for the wall: rewrite financial laws so that “no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States,” preventing Mexico from collecting approximately $24 billion in remittances, or ask Mexico to make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion for the wall. ---

Not sure why that’s in this thread. Trump has nothing to do with the suit. And ISTM the same arguments could be made about trademarking anything with any public figure’s name on it. No one’s saying the guy can’t sell the shirts – he just can’t prevent anyone else from using the phrase on their own shirts. Also, IMHO, it’s not even that clever. ---

Because we’re all 12 year olds at heart and reading the Supreme Court having a serious stuffy conversation about it was pretty funny. And if I have to suffer trumps existence (which pisses me off every moment of every day) reading funny, belittling things about him makes my life just a little better. ---
