Did He Even Have The Courage To Ask?

Talking about bulls is not the same as facing them in the ring.
—  Mexican Proverb
[As long as #45 is a liar and moral coward, no one should ever believe he even asked Mexico to pay for the wall, particularly since they already announced (before he was elected) that they would not.  If he publicly asked (or demanded) and they refused, #45 would have been publicly outed as the incompetent “deal-maker” he really is.  —  KMAB]
