Your move Donald. This should be good.
To: Rennes Templar
He can impose a 50% tax on remittances. That’ll pay for it and, indirectly, Mexico will pay for it with the lost revenue.

There are ways of making Mexico do our bidding. It’s not like they can defend themselves very well, considering half their country is in the U.S.
To: Rennes Templar
Trump: Well America, I tried. lets move on to more important issues,
like Me, myself, and I.

It wouldn’t be an invoice for the wall but the new tariffs could be used to pay for it.

That’s the ones we know about.
I’m sure there are a LOT more that are unaccounted for.
To: Rennes Templar
And I don’t believe Trump makes idle threats, so this should be good

If Mexico doesn’t want to pay, we can always get it by taxing wire remittances and putting the illegals who come here to work on it for a few months prior to deportation. They claim they come to America to work; building the wall can provide them work.

Mexico has the greatest defense in the world: being completely undesirable and not worth invading.

What a shock. In other news, the Soviet Union announced it will never tear down the Berlin Wall.

Hold back the $500 million the US sends Messico each year until the wall is paid for.

Yeah they would either directly or indirectly Mexico would pay for it. It’s not all that hard to get Mexico to pay for it.

Heck, I’m sure that there must be some amount of “foreign aid” that is going to Mexico that has been budgeted by the Congress. Couldn’t they just withhold whatever the costs of a wall are from that, for however many years that it may take?

He can impose a 50% tax on remittances. No, he can't. CONGRESS can, but he has to persuade them to do so, including enough Senate Dems to overcome the expected filibuster.

“..new tariffs could be used to pay for it.”
That’s what I think. He’s not going to send them a bill for $2 billion or whatever, but he’d siphon it out of them.
