Trump Logic !
Not sure where to put this.
Trump has mooted this idea about financing this ruddy wall. He wants Mexico to pay....they say they won't.
So his next thoughts are that he may impose a 20% import duty on stuff coming from Mexico, like TVs for instance.
But if is to be successful, then its the American people that will be paying that extra 20%, not Mexico itself ! If people refuse to buy any more Mexican goods, then no moneys will be raised to pay for the wall.
Either way. Mexico won't be paying !

He has said the wall will be built paid by American Dollars and then Mexico will reimburse America. If he now introduces the import duty, America will actually pay twice.

YMB - When you say 'you lot' - I assume you are addressing people that you perceive to be 'of the left' - or general critics of The President.
I think it is far too early to talk of PT 'delivering' on his promises. The trade restrictions have yet to show any results at all, and not one brick of the famous wall has appeared on the border.
He may 'deliver' - but we have to wait and see.

Yes Andy we will obviously have to wait and see. To be honest I'm getting bored with the constant knocking of Mr Trump (and Brexit) especially since the same tired old rubbish is wheeled out time and time again and no one is actually willing to look further than their own blinkered left wing media fueled ideologies. Even when it is spelt out to then they ignore and carry on.
And no, I dont include you in that. We may disagree but you do read the post and put forward a point of view.

MB....Trump hasn't delivered on anything yet. He has made a lot of wild statements but that's about it. He hasn't even got all his Team approved and in place yet.
But I am not sure why you continue to call all of us that dislike this horrible man "lefties"
There must be many on here that wouldn't class themselves as left-leaning at all, and yet deplore Trump for his racism, and misogyny. You are in a minority methinks.

You constantly accuse Trump of racism, yet you provide no definite proof, have the Afro/American or the Italian/Americans or any other of the vast number of Americans of Foreign heritage been discriminated against?
NO! the only criticism in that direction that one can make against President Trump is the fact that is is prepared to take action against those that intend harm upon the American people.
For that he should be praised rather than labelled a racist.
