US President-elect Donald J Trump '@realDonaldTrump rages about the 'dishonest' media with this tweet: "The dishonest media is not reporting that any money spent, for the sake if speed, on building the Great Wall, will be paid back by Mexico."


Trump and House Republicans are exploring options to make good on the President-elect's promise to build a wall along the country's southern border -- but it would be American taxpayers, not Mexico, who'd cough up for the multi-billion dollar project, according to officials.


Trump representatives have told GOP lawmakers in private meetings that they hope to use a Bush-era law that would allow the Republican-led Congress to use tax dollars to foot a border wall, according to multiple reports.


Since Congress would have nowhere near enough money, Trump transition officials have reportedly told Republicans that they'd like to secure funding by folding the wall into a must-pass spending bill.
