Pink Floyd sang about it. The one that kept Berlin split. In this case, Trump's extension of a wall that keeps filthy Mexicans out. Errr...I mean...illegal border crossing.
This will cost Americans $60 billion dollars. Why don't they ever say "kajillion billion" At least make people laugh. At first it was making Mexico pay. Right...as if a tab could ever be picked up by a third world nation. So...Trump's solution...ding ding ding...tarriffs! That's right, 20% to imports from our buddies down south. This generates a massive surplus of dough to fund the wall and with change to start massive deportations. I had no idea the financial damage of illegal immigration. The loss is staggering. But look, that's only if Mexico doesn't go looking for alternative partners. We have a deficit of 60 billion due to NAFTA, which benefits them and not us. And it's been going on forever because previous Presidents never wanted to rock the life raft. Or our friendship with our borders. But like most generous deals, you give people an inch, they take a mile. Well...this is a massive shakeup that Trump cannot hide. Why? He has no relationship that is attempting to thrill everyone. See politicians constantly juggle one over another. Obama didn't do much because he had to skate his relationships. It was frustrating to watch. Who needs to fight that hard?
Is a wall the answer? Not sure. It drives a wedge between people, but it saves us money. That is pretty symbolic of what we're to see in Trump America.
