Where did Spicer get $50B? We import $270.6B annually, and a lot of that are components for shit we end up exporting to other countries (car parts, electronics, etc). So not only to Americans pay the tariff, we'll see our exports drop as their prices increase.RaceBannon said:White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer mentioned the possibility to reporters on Air Force One Thursday, as relations between Trump and his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto spiraled.
"When you look at the plan that's taking shape now, using comprehensive tax reform as a means to tax imports from countries that we have a trade deficit from, like Mexico," Spicer said.
"If you tax that $50 billion at 20 percent of imports – which is by the way a practice that 160 other countries do – right now our country's policy is to tax exports and let imports flow freely in, which is ridiculous," he said. "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."
Might be a little early to panic. dhdawg is partially right you know. But meaningless conversation is what we do
Higher prices, less exports = recession. Make sense? TRUMP sense!
Not to mention the fact that adding a tax on a single country is a violation of WTO agreements. Or does Trump want to join North Korea and Palestine as the only countries to not take part in the WTO?
And drop out of the UN when the US is one of 5 countries with absolute veto power? -
Dude....Trump is playing the media and a bunch of fools (like the ones freaking out in this thread) like a fiddle. We import something like $300 billion a year from Mexico...20% is $60 billion/year. The wall will probably cost, what $20 billion or so over several years?
Float a trial balloon like this, morons freak out, and then he'll propose some alternative actual policy which is something much less and with this initial anchor out there to compare against will seem very reasonable and most people will support.
The first week has been comedy in just seeing how people react to him... -

He has no plan. -

You are giving Trump way too much credit. Trump means what he says, except when he doesn't. Even he doesn't know when he's going to walk back on his own words. He's done nothing but escalate the popular vote loss.HoustonHusky said:Dude....Trump is playing the media and a bunch of fools (like the ones freaking out in this thread) like a fiddle.

In case you have noticed, when challenged, Trump gets more outrageous rather than make a reasonable compromise. -
good. so when is he gonna walk back this stupid idea of a border wallHoustonHusky said:Dude....Trump is playing the media and a bunch of fools (like the ones freaking out in this thread) like a fiddle.

You are a perfect example of my point. He's has done a ton that should outrage the Left, and all morons like you keep talking about is the popular vote. The media and left keep looking at the shiny object to the left while he keeps punching in the face with his right.2001400ex said:

Heck, look at the immigration executive orders he signed today which didn't even go all the way into enforcing current law. Much less than all the rhetoric on the campaign trail but still enough to piss folks like you off, and yet morons like you are still talking about the popular vote.
But do continue on pontificating with your speed limit IQ...

Um no. The media can chase all the shiny lights at once. The reality is, the executive orders are largely symbolic and don't accomplish much. Then the conservative media overstates it to try to troll liberals. Like the "no more fed funds paying for abortions". It was awesome watching conservatives sites gloating while liberals went "meh".HoustonHusky said:

He hasn't really done anything noteworthy yet.
