"... just tossed a fake grenade into a roomful..."

IMHO, DJT doesn't deal in "fake" negotiations. Those taxes will be imposed if Mexico doesn't do something.

That's what makes him so effective.

As for me, I'm ready to hold my retirement investments still til this storm blows over- and it will.

The $18 billion is payed by American consumers, not Mexico.

The Mexican Tax will be no differet than reallocated appropriated funds payed by American taxpayers

China can’t do Sh!t to us, we owe them too much money.

If you owe the bank $1,000 and you don’t pay, you’re in trouble,.

If you owe the bank $1 million, and you don’t pay, the bank is in trouble.

We owe china $trillions. If we nationalize the debt and all the property they own here it’s bye bye to china’s economy. They can’t invade, we would sing the ships coming here.

They can’t EMP us for reason #1 and 2 above.

They can’t do anything except continue to steal money and technology from us, and hope we continue to let them.

“And then President Trump will use the tariff money collected, estimated at $18 Billion, to build his wall to control immigration....thus fulfilling his prophecy that Mexico will pay for the Trump Wall...so perfect a plan that it makes you weep.”

Tariffs are paid by Americans not countries exporting goods to us. Anything you buy produced in Mexico will cost You 5% more. Whether or not you agree with Trump on this, at least get the economics straight!

Tariffs go both ways. We do import
more than we export to Mexico.

The left has bet everything on the demographic replacement of the majority population. The CEOs & Wall St are addicted to cheap labor & cheap money hence the talk of interest rate cuts coming up.

I believe that Trump is using tariffs to realign the global supply chain for the United States. It will take a little time for things to sort out and settle down.

Well old FRiend there is zero need for me and most of us to respond to this so called threat!

“Even if Mexico simply closes its own borders, north and south, this will leave a sour taste in the mouth for years on all sides”.

You summarized the feelings of probably 60+ million of us:

“Tough $hit!”

Shhh! Don't let the evil ones south of our borders know about this!

I don’t think he’s lying, but I don’t think that grenade will explode. It’s a negotiation tactic, they’ll do what he says.

Mr President,

Have AG Barr issue an Opinion on the merits of USC 18, 241,242
that A State Officer, employee,public servant,,... can be held Personally Liable for Any Injury or Loss to a citizen if they preside in a “sanctuary State” and have taken part in any activity to promote or enforce said laws.

Watch the Chit hit the fan!
