WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump today says he will slap a big tariff on Mexican imports to pay for a wall along the southern border of the United States.
“The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico,” the President said. “It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost.”
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that $10 billion could be raised on the proposed 20% tax on Mexican imported goods.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto cancelled a planned visit with President Trump after a plan to build the controversial wall was announced Wednesday.
Mr. Trump was not deterred, saying “If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.”

He better start bringing his own production back to the U.S. along with his daughter’s. That is Donald’s problem-he makes rules for everyone but himself and his family. Oh wait, breaking news….Ivanka’s moving her shoe factory….to Ethiopia.
There are alot -5.000.000 + people in the US that pay not taxes because they are not a citizen -H1B violators also – Fact – I know a guy that works at a packing plant making same wages as a somolie next to him – take home pay for foreigner is 10 to 15% more because they do not deduct federal taxes from him – What the hell is going on. Answer – liberal/crooked democraps. Hey Bo ! Trump pulled the plug on the swamp and as you can see the rats are coming out of the woodwork.
No, he didn’t drain the swamp. He’s adding more fertilizer so the gators grow bigger and the swamp gets harder to wade through.
This is actually a brilliant move on Trumps part, the 20% tax on Mexico will be offset by the 20% decrease he is proposing for American businesses, by bringing our rate from 35% to 15%. No business would see a need to leave the US and it will not result in increased prices to the consumer. And I wouldn’t even care if it did, BUY AMERICAN MAID PRODUCTS! USA FIRST!

The leftist media is losing their war against Trump. They focus on minutia. There are big issues lurking, but they bludgeon their viewers to death to fill their “Breaking News” attention grabbing bullshit, which ends up deadening the public, so that when Trump actually does something dangerous to the interests of the people or the environment, we are too numb and conditioned to do anything about it. The media I believe are fake sons of bitches, who ultimately wanted Trump all along. Yes, Obama was not as strong as he should have been, but consider what ceiling he broke. He became the first Black man in history…so he would have been branded an Angry Black Radical had he ruled the same way as Trump is…which in itself is a form of Racist White Privilege. Republicans have the “home field” advantage because they are WHITE, and the Country has a deeply rooted visceral attachment and history with racism.
The tariff will raise the price of the goods once they reach the US, so we will be paying for the wall.
This from the local know it all who knows absolutely nothing.
It’s best to just ignore LVS, he spends his day trash talking and deleting comments. Sad situation.
The only positive thing to be said about LVS is that he is very close to moving to Elmwood.
All of North Iowa will be very happy then and the worms will be fed.
LVS just rides what ever bandwagon is around at the time. He can not think for himself and never has been able to. He is just a follower with very little education.
Pretty much any good or product can also be found with a “made in USA” tag. So there is no true good reason to Mexican goods.
No it won’t. The cost will be offset and will bring jobs back to the U.S. Mexico is going to turn into a revolution country run by Sandanista’s in the next election and all American business located there will be forfeit.
This is the first step at ruining our relations with the world.
He will make the USA an isolated country. That will be great.
You can always leave if you don’t like it. Try Russia and see if they shoot you. You lost, remember?
You like Russia so much…you MUST be a Trump supporter!
