In light of my previous comment, I am not going to make a bad analogy here, today. I'm waiting for the 100 days to be over. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

He also knows how to operate people. Every rich man does. You have to be an always swimming shark to survive. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many say it's so corrupt it's not even a functioning democracy. http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/02/23/obama-pena-nieto-mexico-corruption/ If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Any country that has to keep offloading people to a neighboring country and the same offloads have to send money back so the place does not collapse can only be called a failed state. Trump knows Mexico has no leverage and is treating her as such. Maybe in the end he helps drain the swamp in Mexico City as well. The President is a fink. |

Better buy all the TVs, cars, clothes, etc. you'll need for the next four years RIGHT NOW. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Actually it is an awesome idea. Show that we mean business. Mexico needs to take things seriously, this should do that. The President is a fink. |

Ahhh... I was hoping some rightie would pretend it's a good idea. Shows you don't think before you blindly praise anything Donald does. Anyone with an Econ 101 level knowledge of economics knows that American consumers would be the ones who end up shouldering the 20% tariff, so Americans WOULD be paying for the dumb wall. But don't worry.... Sean Spicer already walked back this idea about an hour ago cause they realized how stupid it was. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Getting Mexico to pay is a horrible idea to begin with. What's the payment for? Reparations? Sovereign debt? Seized property? No. It's an effective campaign promise, nothing more. As such, it's awful but not terrible. As policy it's outright theft and an unprovoked act of aggression. In simple terms, it's bullying on an international scale. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
