Whatever he builds, I'm enjoying watching him swallow his words, because Mexico isn't building shit.
Considering Trump's plan is to levy a 20% tax on all Mexican goods entering the US, three things could happen:
1. Whatever happens, Mexico never pays the US back, so US citizens will foot the whole goddamn bill for a wall Trump swore Mexico would pay for.
2. Mexican imports become 20% more expensive, which the US citizens will pay for at stores and supermarkets, which means the US citizens will still foot the bill.
3. In a more radical position from Trump, Mexico stops exporting to the US almost entirely. Mexico is the USA's 3rd largest trading partner, so the USA's economy would be largely -- negatively -- affected, and US citizens still foot the bill.
I mean, I guess Trump doesn't give a shit considering he's never paid taxes. 🙂
Way to go, President of the USA.

That'd be a pretty stupid-ass decision on your part, considering the US makes up some 80% of the market on Mexican goods. It may be an effective way to spit in America's face, but it'd shoot Mexico into the dark ages.

Yeah, it would.
Then again, it was also a pretty stupid-ass decision to promise the American people that Mexico would pay for the wall. 🙂
