>And Mexico will pay for those tariffs, just as they paid for that Great Big Beautiful Wall, right?<<

The bottom line is,
‘Mexico’s economy utterly depends on its US exports’. = LM

---------------

Also lost on the liberal doomsayers is the tariff ideally will not be necessary at all or beyond the first tranche. The idea is that Mexico WILL change behavior making further escalation unnecessary. The important thing that Mexico will understand is that Trump has no problem doing it so they will avoid taking the hit. Another element could be USA providing a few billion in aid AFTER Mexico closes their southern border. That is a lot of money but for the USA far cheaper than providing millions of illegals with food, shelter, education, and medical care.
