BBC

Trump stated on Friday, the wall is getting built and he will impose a 20% tariff on Mexico imports. Mexico's foreign minister Videgeray then had the following to say, "Mexico believes in free trade" and they "would have to respond". The US imports and exports lots of goods with Mexico it would be costly to have Mexico impose there own tariffs on the US.

"Mexico is by far the top destination for Texan exports, with goods worth $92.4bn exported there in 2015, according to the US Department of Commerce."

You think Mexico will pay for the wall? Will Trump be able to cut a deal with Mexico where he gets his wall and Mexico is still US trading partner.

I hope to eat my own words but that wall won't be finished by the time he leaves office. Whenever that is.

Texas politicians have already stated this will hurt the state. Doesn't seem to matter to the orange ass hat.

I think we all know that Mexican cartels have access to serious hardware. That wall is going to get blasted down in enough spots or tunneled under to render it utterly pointless. Any assertion to the contrary is pure fantasy.

Does anyone else get the feeling Trump is just a senile old man who walks around the white house in his bathrobe just complaining about the same things all day?

"We're going to make Mexico build our wall! They said they don't want to do it but I've got some great people working on it"

"Did you see my crowd size at the inauguration? It was historic because it didn't rain"

"I don't need your briefing I'll speak with myself because I have a good brain.

"Did someone lock the door. What are all these lights doing on"

Trouble is he's the president. When my grandfather insults Mexicans there's no real world consequences....

Trump strikes me as a man spewing idealisms and his desires with not one thought given in consideration of their practicalities. It's why many simpletons follow him.
