He said he was going to build a wall, yes, but he also promised that it wasn't going to cost the American tax-payer a penny and (somewhat inconceivably) that he would force MEXICO to pay for it themselves.

It's looking like it's going to cost the US tax-payer up to $25 Billion.

Well yes. Quite how he thought he could do something ridiculous and pricey then get someone else to pay for it is beyond me. I want a 5* holiday to Florida and a villa in Spain, unfortunately I cannot force my rich neighbour to pay for this :(

He's going to use all the money he saved from removing funding for abortions to build it probably

But Niamh...the tax payers don't want to fund anything to do with abortions. They prefer their taxes to rise twofold when there are suddenly thousands of unwanted children in care and such...

And they are happy with paying billions for a useless wall. Unless they build it 200 feet high and also stop all flights and such from Mexico also...just whats the point. Well...whats the point anyway, but you know :laugh:

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he names it "Trump Wall" and has his face carved onto it somewhere.

I see into the future, the wall being ceremoniously torn down like the Berlin wall

I have never seen any comment of substance from you ever. If there was one once, I must have missed it.

Trump was supposed to meet Enrique Peña Nieto later this month to discuss NAFTA and other issues. Today, he added a new precondition to talking; he tweeted: " If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."

Oh and... a convoy of produce trucks loaded with 15 tons of avocados was refused entry to the U.S. at a Texas port of entry. Evidently, Trump has already ordered that Border Patrol agents should not honor the NAFTA agreement. After being turned back at the U.S. border, those trucks drove to an airport in Mexico, and the avocados were flown to Canada.

It is very obvious that Trump is now starting a trade war with Mexico. President Pena Nieto had previously extended an invitation to American oil companies to sell gasoline in Mexico, in competition with the government-owned monopoly oil company Pemex. We can probably now expect that invitation to be cancelled.

They certainly were!

The thing is, Mexico's market for U.S. farm products is immense (thanks mainly to NAFTA) and cutting that off would severely damage some states economies and truly damage the big farm corporations.

Donald Trump’s proposed border wall could face a major obstacle in Arizona, where an indigenous tribe has vowed to oppose construction on its land, paving the way for potential mass resistance following the model of Standing Rock.

The Tohono O’odham Nation, a federally recognized tribe with a reservation that spans 75 miles of the US-Mexico border, announced on Thursday that it does not support the wall and criticized the White House for signing an executive order without consulting the tribe.

That makes interesting reading and is likely to have a significant affect on his plans. Can't imagine how he will negotiate his way round this one. He should have done his homework first and, at the very least, had some discussion with them first. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Kizzy 28-01-2017 11:27 AM

My guess is he'll still build the wall but leave them on the Mexican side.

Then he would either have to gift that land to Mexico (which again I think would be practically impossible without the tribe agreeing to it) OR it would open up a potential loophole, where if a Mexican family was to set up home within that land an have children, that baby will have birthright citizenship in the US. To stop THAT from happening he would need to alter the US Constitution (never going to happen).

I hope he's planning on a Norway ban too. They don't want a bunch of Anders Breivik gaining access to a land where there has been more white terrorism than terrorism by other races.


Oh and surprise. He failed to ban the Muslim countries where he has business, like Turkey. Ew he makes me sick

DemolitionRed 28-01-2017 07:28 PM

The traditional hunting and gathering grounds of the Tohono O'odham Nation stretch on both sides of the international border. Their treaties with the U.S. Government (1874 and 1882) guarantee unrestricted access to their hunting grounds forever.
