It is not immediately clear to me how the president of country A is going to tax the shit out of the citizens of country B because the president of the United States has no authority to exact taxes from citizens of his own country much less from citizens of another country. I know of no powers vested in the president by article 2 of the Constitution which permit him to do any such thing.
Candidate Trump is long on soundbites and short on substance.
If we are suggesting that a president Trump will act in a manner repugnant to the Constitution, I as a conservative will no doubt be joined by many other conservatives to oppose him. Conservatives, if nothing else, stand for the proposition that our fidelity to the Constitution is not situational. If we are suggesting that Trump will convince Congress to impose sanctions on Mexico until they capitulate and fund the wall, I point out that is politically unrealistic.
The reason the wall has not been built is because it is not wanted by anyone except the people of America. The president flatly does not want it, the Democrats in Congress will not stand for it, the Republicans in Congress will conspire with the Democrats.The forces that oppose controlling immigration do so because it advantages them. Those forces are very strong or the wall would have been built long ago.
Now, exactly how is president Trump "gonn'a tax the shit out of them"?
