“Sorry President Trump but if the tariffs were not implemented and we still have to wait for Mexico’s legislature to approve any deal, then in my book you were bluffing “

So your genius idea would be to use the threat of tariffs to get the agreement....then impose them anyway? The point of the tariffs is to get this stuff in motion. Like what the hell happens with them in place while Mexico has to get the agreement through their congress? Economic disruption for no other reason other than to “entertain” you?

Is the point of this to get an agreement or to just get at Mexico for fun?

Tariffs are not toys. Some of you dont seem to get this.

Tariffs, like most other forms of taxation, don’t have an immediate visible impact on the salaried employee classes. Therefore, those people feel such taxes can be imposed with impunity to achieve desired social goals.

The rest of the world uses those tariffs against us daily. You display the typical American ignorance regarding tariffs. Foolishness. Tariffs great great!!!
