    The latest news is that China will retaliate on the companies who joined Trump's effort of banning Huawei.

    More business will be back to US. MAGA wins :p

    Maybe POTUS is on to something. It’s not about the economy stupid. It’s only about brown people.

    GOP lawmakers--even Iowa's Grassley--- agree.

    They warned that making the move next month as announced would jeopardize ratification of the trade deal with Mexico and Canada. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...ps-slam-trump-s-mexico-tariff-threat-n1012441

    Iowa senator Chuck Grassley blasted Trump’s decision and even suggested that he was abusing his presidential authority.​

    As does that liberal organization... U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who calls it exactly the wrong move.

    US business groups slam Trump's new tariff threat against Mexico

    Every avocado I saw at my grocery store had a "ripe" sticker on it and, when you gave them the squeeze test, it was clear they were beyond ripe and on to rotting. F*ck avocados. It's clear people are not buying them so they are sitting out longer. And, no more Mexican fajita plates for this hombre cause it contains a portion of guacamole and those bastards are sure to raise the price on the plates yet again! I'd rather eat dirt. ;)

    I'm under the belief that a) He's doing this in an attempt to bring back more auto manufacturing to the US and/or b) he's hoping Mexico will 'kick-in' some funding for the wall (so he can say 'Mexico paid for it'). I would say I doubt he thinks Mexico has a real ability to make an impact on immigration in such a short time... that said, he still doesn't understand who actually pays for tariffs, so who knows.

    The irony is, the wrench isn't going to help with water spewing out of a drain like that.
