Trump's Wall

[sheltiedave]

Here are the government figure for trade to/from Mexico since 1985. Trump has said that we are hemorrhaging money to Mexico in an exceedingly one sided NAFTA agreement that only benefits Mexico.

in 2016, just over 40% of our export net was incorporated into goods that were then imported back into the US. Adjusting the trade figures using this margin corrector, we end up with the following trade balance...

Initial figures in millions
211,848.7 Exports
270,647.2 Imports
-58,798.6 Balance

Corrected Figures
211,848.7 Exports
(270,647.2 x 60%) = 162,388.32 Imports
+ 49,460.4 Balance

WOW, we have a +49.5 MILLION DOLLAR TRADE SURPLUS with Mexico! Trump lies.
