A tariff on Mexican goods will result in lower and slower sales of their goods.
They will then be forced to accept they are paying, one way or the other....
Be faster to write a check and be done with it....
That’s a big “IF”. IF Mexico folds and writes a check. Maybe they will and maybe they won’t. They certainly don’t have to. Unless and until that happens, American consumers will be writing the checks if they want to buy goods from Mexico. Demand will go down, but SOMEBODY has figured out that there will still be enough demand and sales to American consumers to pigeonhole $21 billion from the tariffs to build the wall.
I like Trump but he’s not being forthright about this and that kind of pisses me off.
