It is a fig leaf but it will work, I suppose.
A little disappointing.
It would have been easy to tax fund wires. I don’t know why that angle wasn’t taken.
Yeah yeah...
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....
I didn’t read the tweet. Did it say... I got rolled by the democrats and now I will cave on the wall??????
Been saying the exact same thing for years. Would love to get an honest answer on why not.
It would have been easy to tax fund wires. I don’t know why that angle wasn’t taken.

I agree. WTH
If Calif. can tax Text Messaging, why not.
Sounds good President Trump
Announce on Jan 2nd that wall construction will begin.
Have your legal team ready to challenge any leftard judge
Make sure your team is ready for all judgements coming out of left field.
Move forward, ignore the courts (Obama says the courts don’t matter now because they ruled to destroy Obamacare)
Lets get these contracts going, lets get some wall up by Spring!
https://www.vox.com/2018/10/3/17930092/usmca-nafta-trump-trade-deal-explained
Here are the biggest changes:
Country of origin rules: Automobiles must have 75 percent of their components manufactured in Mexico, the US, or Canada to qualify for zero tariffs (up from 62.5 percent under NAFTA).
Labor provisions: 40 to 45 percent of automobile parts have to be made by workers who earn at least $16 an hour by 2023. Mexico has also agreed to pass laws giving workers the right to union representation, extending labor protections to migrant workers, and protecting women from discrimination. The countries can also sanction one another for labor violations.
US farmers get more access to the Canadian dairy market: The US got Canada to open up its dairy market to US farmers, which was a big issue for Trump.
Intellectual property and digital trade: The deal extends the terms of copyright to 70 years beyond the life of the author (up from 50). It also extends the period that a pharmaceutical drug can be protected from generic competition, and includes new provisions to deal with the digital economy, including prohibiting duties on things like music and e-books, and protections for internet companies so they’re not liable for content their users produce.
No section 232 tariff protections: Section 232 is a trade loophole that Trump used to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. Canada and Mexico wanted protections from these tariffs as part of the NAFTA negotiations, and the fact that tariffs are still in place remains a sore subject, particularly for Canada. Canada and Mexico did get the US to make a side agreement that shields them from possible auto tariffs under 232.
Sunset clause: The agreement adds a 16-year “sunset” clause — meaning the terms of the agreement expire, or “sunset,” after a set period of time. The deal is also subject to a review every six years, at which point the US, Mexico, and Canada can decide to extend the USMCA.
They will impeach him over this.
(But get in line, they’ll impeach him over drinking diet coke in the morning).
The D.C. permanent government class has him boxed in. They know it, he knows it.
He has to do something spectacular to get out of the box. Maybe this will be it.
Trump will still be President....for two years and no more.
If he caves on the one thing he ran on then he will not win another election.
Tax bills have to get through Congress.
No way would they tax Mexico’s largest source of income.
They have very effective representatives in the US House and Senate.
I suspect the “afraid of their own shadow” Republicans heard the word “tax” and immediately passed out from apoplexy.
Ways to pay for the wall
Tax wire transfers from illegals into Mexico.
Cease Drug money, Cartel vehicles, assets.
Import fees.
Kick illegals off public assistance programs.
Issue Bonds for the wall that pay 3% tax free, that the public and corporations can buy. Many people would buy them in their IRA since this is patriotic and pays more than most banks and stocks.
Lets add 5% tax to every dollar sent to mehico thru western union ..
cha ching!!
Maybe you’ll get lucky and you’ll be able return to the good ol’ days of voting for corrupt establishment posers who’ll do nothing but give you con-jobs and lip service for the next 30+ years.
What does this say about Trump’s opinion of his supporters’ intelligence?
Rofl!!!!
I think you are somewhat very confused. I was an early supporter of Trump, still am. I will vote for him again if the democrats don’t roll him out of office first.
But, he will turn off plenty of fence sitters when he caves on his signature issue.
