On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..
...at which time the Tariffs will be removed. Details from the White House to follow.
That is MY title......sorry if that is a point of confusion (tweets don’t have titles).
It’s about time. I hope he doesn’t walk this statement back before June 10th or after. Let the pieces fall where they may.
Should be 50% right off the bat.
The Fox News guest who was on as the announcement came out, apparently an economics out of U of Chicago, said it’s illegal to impose a tariff on a single country ... so I don’t know ... but I can’t imagine POTUS did this w/o a team of lawyers saying it’s ok... then the left will get its one judge to gum up the works.
I guess Mexico is going to be paying for the wall after all :-) wish President Trump had done this two years ago its perfect and the Dems cant do a damn thing about it
I agree..5 is too little, make it half make Mexico squirm
Mexico is paying for the wall...
BEST President in my lifetime, 52 years!

Easy there, you’re shooting at the wrong guy. What on Earth do you think he could do that he isn’t already trying? The fault for inaction lies with the dems who block every effort, the establishment GOP who quietly do the same, and the leftist judges who have now taken it upon themselves to dictate U.S. policy.
They are building it as fast as they can.
5%???? Tell Mexico is shaking in its boots! Shut the freaking border down and stop all currency transfers into the country, and immediately tax the hell out of all employers hiring illegals.

The Mexican government will pay zip...(Trump will have to pick some specific Mexican imports for it to be implemented)...then importers will pay the tariff $$...passing it along to U.S. consumers.

LOL. They’ll be “paying” when those Mexican factories start furloughing workers. Big League.
Yeah, “Mr. Econ Professor” is apparently confused, the tariffs won’t be imposed on a country, but on the products imported from said country. The president can pick some individual high dollar imports or “all imports” I guess (no precident for an “all imports” tariff?)...would have to research that one.
He has failed on lowering prices of prescription drugs, of helping middle class whose small business people have lost deductions. He has squeaked about rising interest rates which help middle class.
He keeps making same mistakes with personnel over and over. He listens to the twits Kushner way too much.
We keep hoping. But it is waning and he will see that in 2020.
