President-elect Donald Trump kicked off Friday morning with the following tweet:

The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!

鈥� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

The reason for the wall tweet was because — it turns out — the wall won’t be built with Mexico’s money, but with U.S. taxpayer money. Mexico will just be billed later.

There has been no proposed legislation for making Mexico pay for the wall, other than what’s been on Trump’s website, which involves intercepting payments to Mexico made by immigrants.

That, of course, delighted CNN commentator Van Jones.

“Maybe it’s not a flip, but it’s certainly a flop…” Van Jones said.

But the pro-Trump side had a defense: Building the wall is 90 percent of the statement. The “icing on the cake” is making Mexico pay for it.

Ross: Thanks to Twitter, there are about 18 million White House correspondents

And, in fact, that’s what we told everybody a year ago after our trip to New Hampshire where we immersed ourselves in crowds of Trump supporters — all of you saying “ha ha, he broke his promise” — dedicated Trump supporters don’t care about the literal promise. They care about stirring the pot and making the liberals like Van Jones squirm.

In Bristol County Massachusetts, Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, who was just sworn into his fourth, six-year term, made an offer to Trump to have inmates build the wall.

鈥淚 can think of no other project that would have such a positive impact on our inmates and our country than building this wall,鈥� Hodgson said.

Inmates would build that wall! Teaching construction skills, and giving them a sense of contributing to America’s security.
