Except that Americans do not have to buy Mexican goods, especially if they are 20% more expensive. It's called supply and demand.

Mexico decides if the loss of US market share is worth refusing to pay for the wall, too. Duh, McCon-job. Trade war? What an ass. But I guess somebody has to take over the job of being stupid, now that Lurch is gone.

What this idiot ignores is the cost to US taxpayers for the invaders health care and public education. And it is by ‘law’ US taxpayers are forced to fund health care and public education. Time has come for Mexico to stop using and abusing their people and ‘we the people’... In case they have not paid attention ‘slavery’ was abolished in this nation years ago.

Wikipedia says he has a degree in Economics so he must know how economic competition and the law of supply and demand works. Guess he's just lying.

Turns out O’Donnell is going to pay for the wall, because he’s the only person stupid enough to buy Mexico’s overpriced avocados, etc. And those have been peed on. Hahaha, he really is an imbecile.

I tried to watch the whole thing, but it was just a bunch of whining by a Trump hater. Technically he might have a point about negotiating tactics via Twitter, but sheesh, this jerk just goes on a childish rant. Now Trump can impose other ways of making Mexico pay anyway. “Negotiations” are not over. They may never need to be started.

Where is the media or even Mexico’s opposition to Mexico’s own wall on their southern border?

Reconquista is treason.

Wikipedia: “O’Donnell called himself a ‘practical European socialist’ in a Newsmaker Interview dated November 11, 2005.”—figures.

The author has never observed a brilliant strategist at work.

Trump grasps the bigger picture and just got the Mexican government to show its hand relating to drug and cartel involvement. (See “Mexican Official Threatens To Combat President Trump By “Unleashing Drug Cartels””)

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-30/mexican-official-threatens-combat-president-trump-unleashing-drug-cartels

Trump is smoking the Mexican rats that have ruined the Mexican country and economy out of the holes where they have been hiding and has exposed them. Soon the Mexican people will want to exterminate their own vermin.

Pics of Mexico’s southern border have been posted here. No Wall, just a linear clearing of a few meters wide.

O’Donnell is probably the most vile, viscious rabid liberal in media, frankly. He’s a nasty little piece of work.
