Trump Threatens to Close Border with Mexico Entirely
Estimates vary, but something like $2 billion+ in commerce crosses that border daily.

If tRump actually does carry through with his mindless threat, it won't be long before corporate America (supposedly his ally) will be gathering outside the WH with pitchforks.

I won't mention the economic impact on an already shaky economy that's displaying symptoms from his tax cuts/trickle-down and trade wars.

What a negotiator.

This is Trump we're talking about. I don't put anything past him no matter how stupid and irrational it is.

1. It's not going to happen.

2. It's not Trump's trade war. It belongs to about 50 years worth of politicians from both sides

Yeah, good luck with that, Trump.

But then, you and I are most likely rational and this decision doesn't rest with a rational actor.

Then what's needed is negotiation for better trade arrangements.

tRump brags incessantly about his ability to make a good deal.

The world has called his bluff.
