Oh, hi
Trump wants 20% tax on imports from Mexico to pay for wall

President Donald Trump has decided he will seek to pay for the wall on the US's southern border by imposing a 20% tax on imports from Mexico and as part of a larger comprehensive tax reform plan, the White House said Thursday.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the comprehensive tax reform package Trump and Republicans are looking to put together will include taxing imports from other countries, like Mexico.

"By doing it that we can do $10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone. That's really going to provide the funding," Spicer said, referring to a 20% tax. According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, Mexico's exports to the US in 2015 was valued at $316.4 billion. The trade deficit is estimated to be $50 billion.

Despite the controversial nature of the proposal, which is likely to be met by stiff opposition from business leaders in the US, Spicer said the proposal is one "we've been in close contact with both houses (of Congress) in moving forward and creating a plan."

Maybe Grind is right, Trump is just pulling this stunt to have other pubs say no and then he can say, I tried to keep my promise. Maybe there is a method to his madness.
 
"It clearly provides the funding and does so in a way that the American taxpayer is wholly respected," Spicer said Thursday.

screw that. was Obama's infrastructure stimulus even paid for?
Build the damn wall,and then siphon it out of Mexico -but get it built without import taxes.
Import taxes result in less commerce, and are really a good way to detsroy really important things like NAFTA negotiations.

Trump is going to get his 20 percent import tax. Now if imports do lessen, the need for products will not, thus they will be made in the USA, by Americans. Isn't that great for poor families? Trumps 2020 win is now assured

A large portion of American automobile parts are currently made in Mexico and millions of Americans rely on the auto industry for their livelihood...The profit margins will readily evaperate
Are Trumptards, like YaYurt, ready to see the American auto industry go belly up so Trump can pretend to build a useless wall?

The wall will never happen, King Trumptard must troll for his base.

He could, however, get funding for extending the fence that Bush started and Obama finished.

Whether the wall gets built or not, the die is cast. chalk up another failed and ignorant Trump idea.

Whether the wall gets built or not, we want him to keep talking about it. Keep threatening to destroy the American economy with his ignorance. Keep threatening our trading partners with schoolboy bluster.

I want him to pull out every dumb ass republican proposal ever.

He belongs to the so-called 'white working class' ALONE .. who thought that voting for a loud-mouth celebrity with no experience in government was a good idea.
