But then 40% of Mexican imports come from the US. They can do the same to us. That's a lot of jobs. Do you not see the problem here? Let's not even discuss what hurting the Mexican economy will do for our borders. The worse off Mexico is the more people you will have flooding the borders for a better life.
So what are we gonna do? Tariff every country that can produce **** cheaper than us? They can tariff us right back.
Over 100,000 dead and over 30,000 missing in Mexicos war on drugs. Let that sink in...
The WORST part about all of this is he had a chance to negotiate but instead shut down all negotiation with 1 idiotic tweet.
