Rude? You betcha. And good for him.
We'll build a wall if we want. Mexico will have nothing to say about it.
They won't pay for it either. We will.

They will if forced to do so involuntarily. Why do libs and lefties want to continue to pay the over $100 billion a year that illegals cost us vs a $25 billion one time cost of a wall? Did they all fail at math?

I’m betting there will be some new members added to a certain poster’s Ignore list soon. I’ve already earned that honor.

Respect is earned. Many of Trump’s words and actions do not engender it.

Mexico isn't an ally of ours anyway they are an enemy. I never cared whether Mexico paid for the wall or not anyway and many other conservatives feel the same way. We didn't fail economics as we know that even if the taxpayer has to pay for the wall it's well worth it compared to the over $100 billion a year that illegals cost us.
Please list those ways. Because for the life of me, I can't imagine how you MAKE another country pay money if they don't want to pay it.

Edited to add: OK, I read the link. Each of the measures listed is based on the assumption that Mexico has no other alternatives than to participate in trade with the US, and has no way to retaliate for trade measures it deems unfair. Those are bad assumptions.

As an aside, I note that this policy paper lays out a plan of unilateral action beginning with "Day 1". OK, why hasn't Day 1 occurred yet? I don't know, but I suspect that reality has been encountered.

And as always, I wonder why this administration and Congress, just like all previous administrations and Congresses, has not made EVerify mandatory. Actually, I don't wonder, but it sure speaks volumes that the Trump administration hasn't acted on it, and Congress hasn't taken the initiative to do it.

Again... sigh.


That is not Trumps plan, that is some guy off the internet. You cannot forbid transfer of money out of the US, and the issues of tariffs has been addressed.

I didn't read past that because it is idiotic and written by someone who has no knowledge of issues.

How dare they.

Our country is the life-blood of the Mexican economy, without us they'd be nothing.

Now this cartel-puppet in MC thinks he can gain moral victories by insulting our president? damn him I say.

Mexico needs to be disciplined.


If you are serious you are out of your mind.
