Trump Pointed Out the Obvious: Mexico’s Been Ripping Off Americans for Decades

What are the four things that Mexico knows it has been doing to America, with impunity, for decades, that are not sustainable?

A: Open borders, remittances, massive trade surpluses, and cartel activity.

If you add the $20 billion cartels make from American drug sales, the $63 billion in remittances sent from the United States to Mexico, with the $175 billion trade surplus, you’re looking at over $260 billion.

Let me know if you'd like me post why on Canada and the others. Certainly not going to get accurate reporting from the beloved that loser democrat voters that post here listen to.

"An actual expert" :ROFLMAO:

I thought you righties hated expertise. Now all of a sudden, alleged expertise is a good thing?

Total nonsense. Any post that includes "open borders" is ridiculous. No need to go on.

I was going to add a comment but then read that last line.

If your opinion is THAT ****ing low of the rest of us why are you here?


A smart guy like you should be able to find better..

Please do
 
… the $63 billion in remittances sent from the United States to Mexico …

That is an interesting statistic. That means economic activity and capital creation in the United States by those making the remittances far exceeded that number. Those receiving the remittances are using it for food while those sending them are creating wealth in the United States.

A different story everyday for unhinged asinine behaviors from agent orange.

Funny, none of his actions come together as a cohesiveness plan isn't it ?

Hi Theow32 welcome to the political mosh pit.

The tariff gamble Trump is making could pay off or fail miserably. Trump is taking a chance but a reasonable gamble. Our tariffs will hurt them more than us and mostly were engaged in tit for tat tariffs. The tariffs will do the same thing it does when other countries impose tariffs on our goods, they buy home made goods more often. They put tariffs on American imports because no reciprocal tariffs were being slapped on by sleepy Joe.

You're a mark.

An easy one.
 
Calling Victor Davis Hanson an "expert" is precious cope.

He's a right wing hack masquerading as an academic, the man still thinks invading Iraq in 2003 was a brilliant idea. Anyone who still believes that shit should be immediately dismissed as someone with zero credibility.

And if Mexico IS ripping us off (which it isn't) then it should be the direct fault of the person who signed the USMCA, no?

Expert? Lol.

A historian is not an expert on economics.

We have a trade agreement with Mexico that predated Biden’s administration. What are you talking about?

Are you pretending those tariffs punish Mexico?

Not too many people take V D Hanson seriously these days. He has complained about Mexican and Central American immigrants degrading US society, and apparently sees Trump as some sort of tragic hero. You know, like Macbeth.

Listen to an actual expert

Sorry, it was not clear. Who is the bigger "expert" here? You or the guy in the video?

And expert on what? Economics? Tariffs? Making youtube videos?
