If you read posts before, Trumpeters were denying that NAFTA would ever be finished and that We Mexicans would have to pay the wall, It happens that Trump is making Trumpeters to eat their shoes, He is ending Nafta and making US citizens to pay for the Wall.
Love the phrase, "eat their shoes."
The budget proposed by the Republicans did not include building the wall, yet it is still in the hole. (Google Paul Rand's rant on their deficit budget proposal if you doubt this.)
So we are going to put the construction costs of some $25 billion (and when has a government construction project ever run under budget?) on the national credit card, raising the national debt.
Plans to pay off this debt include slapping a 20% tariff on imports from Mexico, meaning taxpayers will paying for the cost of construction plus the interest on the costs.
Meanwhile, our bridges are literally falling apart.

$25 billion is nothing -- less than 1% of the $3.5 trillion federal budget.
I was supportive of NAFTA but a look at its pros and cons years after its implementation is just smart business. It should be mutually beneficial, it seems like the current agreement is more favorable to Mexico than the USA so what's wrong with renegotiation?
Mexico will become a more advanced nation than the United States within a decade.
I don't think so, this 4 years of Trump's administration, Relations between USA and Mexico will be seriously damaged, and despite Mexico could sign a deal with China it wont make North America stronger
