BREAKING: Mexico Finally Pays for Trump’s Border Wall—Through Tacos, Wire Transfers, and Passive-Aggressive Tourism Ads

March 28, 2025 — Somewhere Along a Mostly Imaginary Wall

After nearly a decade of promises, chants, and repeated threats to declare “reverse bankruptcy,” former President Donald J. Trump triumphantly announced that Mexico has in fact paid for the border wall—just not in the way anyone expected, or with any measurable form of consent.

Standing in front of a 3-foot-tall chain-link fence spray-painted gold, Trump declared victory:

“I said they’d pay for the wall. The fake news said it was impossible. But guess what? We got ‘em. They’re paying in so many ways—indirectly, spiritually, emotionally. Maybe even metaphysically. You’re welcome, America.”

Here’s a breakdown of how Mexico is paying, according to Trump’s new book, "The Art of the Wall (Vol. 2: Mission Accomplished-ish)":

1. Taco Tax™

Trump claimed that every taco sold in America now includes a “Freedom Salsa Surcharge” of 50 cents, which is deposited into a fund called the Wall Infrastructure Trust & Burrito Enforcement Reserve (W.I.T.B.E.R.).

“It’s brilliant,” Trump said. “People love tacos. They eat the wall one bite at a time. It’s delicious, patriotic, and mildly spicy.”

Unfortunately, the surcharge only applies at Trump-branded taco stands, which currently exist only in Tulsa and one failed casino.

2. Wire Transfers from Cousins Named Juan

Trump unveiled a bold new economic theory: Remittances = Wall Money.

“Millions of dollars are sent from hardworking Mexicans in America to their families in Mexico,” Trump explained. “That money could have gone to Fortnite skins or MAGA hats, but instead it crosses the border. So that’s payment. It's like a reverse Venmo for nationalism.”

When asked if that meant Mexicans in the U.S. are actually paying Americans by sending money out, Trump blinked twice and yelled “Fake math!”

3. Passive-Aggressive Tourism Campaigns

According to Trump, the real wall funding came from Mexico’s national tourism board running ads that subtly insult American cities:

  • “Visit Mexico: Fewer Guns Than Texas!”

  • “No Floridians, We Promise!”

  • “Mexico: Now With 100% Less Ted Cruz!”

“They spent millions on these ads,” Trump beamed. “That’s basically a wall payment. Because if they make themselves look better, it’s like they’re saying, ‘Please don’t come over here and mess it up.’ See? Genius.”

Mexico’s tourism office responded with a single-word statement: “¿Qué?”


4. Emotional Toll Payments

According to Trump, even if Mexico hasn’t technically paid cash, they’ve “paid in dignity” by having to listen to him claim victory 400 times.

“They laughed at me,” Trump said, wiping a single tear of self-admiration. “They said, ‘No way.’ But now, Mexico is exhausted. They're paying in stress. They're paying in global eye-rolls. And frankly, that’s better than pesos.”

Experts: “This Is… Not a Thing”

Economists, international relations scholars, and people with functioning calculators were quick to point out that none of these mechanisms amount to Mexico actually paying for the wall. One professor simply held up a graph, pointed to zero, and whispered, “This is where the money is.”

Mexico’s president declined to comment but reportedly laughed for 13 minutes straight in a press conference before walking offstage to the sound of mariachi music and a muted “Gringo, por favor…”

Conclusion: Technically Paid, Spiritually Confused

In summary, Trump insists that the wall was paid for "in spirit, in theory, and in several Taco Bell receipts." Whether or not anything was built is beside the point.

“The wall is real,” Trump concluded. “It’s in our hearts. It’s in our minds. It’s in the imaginary invoice we sent to Mexico—and folks, they signed it. I can’t show you. It’s classified. But they signed it. Bigly.”

Coming next week: Trump demands Canada pay for our mental health crisis.

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Trump Unveils Bold New Healthcare Vision: Trumpcare, Which Is Totally Different From Obamacare Except for the Parts That Are the Same

In a dazzling Rose Garden announcement complete with golden bunting, a fog machine, and a choir humming “Hail to the Chief” in a minor key, President Donald J. Trump unveiled what he called “the most spectacular, most terrific, most everybody-is-saying-so healthcare plan in American history.” He dubbed it Trumpcare™ —a revolutionary system in which the federal government will give money directly to people so that they can better afford their own healthcare. “Folks, it’s simple,” Trump proclaimed, flanked by several cardboard cutouts of himself in a lab coat. “Under Trumpcare, instead of the government being involved—terrible idea, horrible—we’re going to give people money so they can pay for their healthcare. Total freedom. The best freedom.” The audience applauded, though several appeared to be staffers who had been instructed to clap every time Trump paused to breathe. A Reporter Dares to Ask During the Q&A portion—limited to 30 seconds and only reporters who had pre-approved ...
