During the campaign, he vowed to Tear Up NAFTA. He vowed to impose 20% tariffs on everything coming in from Mexico.

He huffs and he puffs, then he folds like a lawn chair.

Speaking under condition of anonymity, a senior Mexican official said the list of priorities was "not as bad as I was expecting" and welcomed that the United States was not pushing to impose punitive tariffs, as Trump has threatened.

If I had lost my job, I would have either gained more skills via education OR moved to an area where there were jobs. trump voters who lost jobs were happy to stay home and drink no-brand beer and watch reality TV while they drew ever-extended jobless benefits, rather than face reality and go out and DO something to change the course of their lives. They are overwhelmingly lazy and self-pitying.
