What would happen if...

Mexico simply refused to export anything to the USA next Monday? NO car parts for MANY models. NO cars from many major manufacturers. NO Avocados (which I wouldn't miss much). NO major airplane assemblies from Cessna's plant in Guadalajara. We eat a LOT of food from Mexico, especially in the winter.

For one thing, assembly lines all over the country would be affected, and might shut down in a week or so.

Check what cars are hecho en Mexico:

I think if I were in charge down there, I'd tell President Drumpf where he could stuff his tax on the American people

Yes: especially because manufacturers spend billions on working out their supply chains. They suspect that these tariffs will be temporary - either they wait them out and share the cost of the tariff with suppliers, importer, shareholders and customers; or they spent $$$ on establishing and certifying alternate sources. That establishing of alternates will, of course, be a further cost borne eventually by the consumer.

Why would you threaten me like that WTF is wrong with you

Oh, and the fake tariffs are off again, they were never going to happen anyway. This is just more of Trump's dumbass M.O.

So now we're getting a new wall around the White House for $64 million. I've looked at the maps; the WH grounds are 7.3 hectares and without measuring it's probably a little over one km around. Call it a mile for the sake of argument. $64 mill for a mile of fence is about $12,000 per foot of fence. I don't suppose they stock it at Home Depot, but I'd love to see who gets that contract.

I bet it's made of titanium and will have a poured concrete base, and loaded with detection/deterrent devices.

Probably still not worth $12K per foot, however, but some PAC sponsored contractors have to make a few bucks.

I heard it's also going to include a moat, complete with moat monsters.

Is the fence to keep intruders outside, or president Drumpf inside?

Never thought of of it that way. A win-win for sure!
