We posted this in another thread about the wall (there are alot of them) but he did indeed suggest they should pay directly:

Trump claimed today that he never said Mexico would pay us for the wall by "writing a check" and instead it would be paid for by savings on trade deals. His campaign literally called for Mexico to pay the US a one time $5-10b payment for the wall.

From the article:

Quote:In a two-page memo posted on its website , the Trump campaign outlined how he and his administration would compel Mexico to pay for the wall: rewrite financial laws so that "no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States," preventing Mexico from collecting approximately $24 billion in remittances, or ask Mexico to make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion for the wall.

So he did suggest it. Whether his supporters and those who feel that have to defend him all understood the other two options remains a question.

His denial of ever suggesting it is a lie.
