I don’t know about you, but I’m getting darned sick and tired, of people sending American manufacturing to China, without getting markets back in return.
Go Trump.
Time for the illegal immigrant welfare clock.
Every illegal costs somewhere more than $100,000 per year per person in welfare, healthcare, education, subsidized housing, law enforcement, etc.
Trump needs a clock like the debt clock, racking up the costs as each illegal crosses the border. Estimates of course.

You and The Donald are fighting the last economic war.
The next economic war will be our robots and our AI against the world’s robots and AI.
In the long run, robots and AI will produce undreamed of wealth, probably for a populace where 50% or more of adults will never work in their entire lives.
In the short run, it will be economically chaotic, and militarily dangerous.
