If it is true that our nation’s economic health now depends entirely on acquiescence to the will and ways of Mexico, if that is so, then are a lost and doomed nation anyway. If this is so, we will simply have no other future than to become them.
Could you please point out exactly where I said that the US’ ‘economic health now depends entirely’ on Mexico?
US manufacturing, especially autos, depends very much upon ‘just in time’ production, meaning VERY limited parts inventories. Since so much has moved to Mexico (not just auto parts but many other parts manufacturers), shutting the border for any length of time means a reduction in US manufacturing numbers (potential recession) and at least temporary manufacturing layoffs. Does that mean the US economy ‘depends entirely’ on Mexico? Of course not! It does mean that the two economies are closely tied. If the border were closed over a longer term, US manufacturers could eventually ramp up parts production at home, but it would not occur immediately. The shorter term result would be recession. At the minimum, the press would LOVE such news and attack like sharks to chum!
Right or wrong, such action by PDJT now, could backfire and cause a recession that could lead to the Commiecrats taking the Presidency. PDJT is a PRAGMATIST. If, in one year the Mexicans do not act, and it turns out to be a long time border closure, US companies have one year to prepare, which should ease transitioning problems. In the worst case scenario, a long term closure of the border, the results on economic growth should be minimized, leaving little of substance for the prestitutes to huff and puff about. In addition, assuming manufacturers made no effort to allow for such contingencies, there would be little time by election day, for recessionary numbers to be public, again, limiting damage by the press.
Not having run a multi-billion dollar enterprise recently, I must defer to the knowledge and experience of one who has done so very successfully. I think he made the correct decision. (BTW, ‘recently’ means ‘in my entire life’, LOL!)
