Guess who's going to be paying for this?

I wonder what that tariff will do to US exports to Mexico, since 40% of our Mexican exports to them are incorporated into finished goods then imported to the US.
When you factor this into the equation, we have a net positive trade balance with Mexico. For a businessman, trump is an idiot.

Of course, a tariff means Americans pay for the wall--importer pays the tax, not the vendor. Not that it matters--will be passed on to American consumer in any case.

Let's been honest here. Trump could dive into an icy river and save a pregnant lady from drowning and you fuckers would find a way to complain about it.

Trump might jump into an icy river to impregnate a drowning lady....

He might throw Melania in the river to save her, but he'd never get his feet wet.

He would never jump in the water in the first place....
