    That’s what they don’t get, and on top of that they complained about prices being high, but now say it’s not a problem!
    The idiot award goes to…

    Average salary for a factory worker in Mexico is less than $3, far far less than what a factory worker would need in the states, that’s not factoring in the cost to expand infrastructure to accommodate a growing work force in that market, on top of that unemployment is extremely low right now.

    There’s literally no reason for American companies to bring back shit into America when the cost to actually do so is significantly higher than just keeping it overseas and just making the consumers pay the tariffs.

    These tariffs are going to hurt the American consumer.

    People complain about higher prices, yet now they have no problem paying even more? lol?
    Why weren't you complaining when Biden left Trump's tariffs in place from his first term?

    When someone agrees with anything ClydeRetard says, they've already lost.

    You are missing the forest for the trees.

    The most likely outcome is there will be no 25% tariff on Mexico because they are going to agree to help us stop the influx of migrants into our southern border. Thats exactly what happened 4.5 years ago. Mexico’s economy cannot afford this tariff. We can. They’ll do what we tell them to do to prevent economic collapse.

    The unlikely outcome is Claudia Sheinbaum wants to play chicken and Trump goes through on this tariff, which is admittedly a real possibility. If that happens it will be temporary at best. I say no more than a year. The same end result will happen. Mexico will be on its knees begging the U.S. to lift the tariff, and they will end up being our best border patrol agents.

    In either situation, America wins. It’s time for America to start flexing our muscles again. Trump knows how to play that game.

    No, we do get it. I'm willing to pay 20 cents more for an avocado if it means stopping illegals aliens and fentanyl from flooding our country.

    You on the other hand are not. You're willing to watch your country turn into a 3rd world shithole so you can save 20 cents on an avocado.

    All your Democrat "for the working people" is virtue signaling bullshit.

    200 billion of other peoples money for war:



    20 cents of your own money for your avocado toast:

    Biden not only kept those tariffs in place; he expanded them. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...ade-practices/

    If she wants to play her games and protect the cartels, because that's what is really going on with Mexico, a few surgical strikes on some cartel members will change her mind real quick.

    Word. The legal cartels like Grupo Bimbo will put her in check. They don’t want her messing with their money train.

    Trudeau already called Trump to apologize for his bad behavior.

    If it were me... Mexico would be American land, Canada and the EU would be paying tribute for American protection. Our military is the ONLY reason these countries can give themselves "free healthcare"

    It's time America take it's rightful place on the throne and make these want to be communists bend the knee.
