>>Trade deal (which isn't even ratified yet) does not result in money going into the Treasury John -- it's pretty simple dude. Trump lied no matter how you look at it.
Show me where Trump said the trade deal (or Mexico) would cut a check in advance, which is the absurd straw man you have assigned to him.
FWIW, IMHO his latest version that Mexico will indirectly pay for the wall via the trade deal (with "indirectly" being a word fact checkers like to exclude) is a stretch compared to the impression given earlier, but IMHO it's no more a lie than Obama's "if you like your doctor" statement that was also true in context that Joe Average won't have expected. I never saw that as a lie by Obama either, as KG can attest. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
