Trump: "Pay for the wall."If Mexico in any way is seen as paying for or supporting Trump's wall then Nieto will be overthrown and probably killed if he doesn't escape the country quickly enough.
That is not hyperbole. That is the current state on the ground in Mexico.
They are still simmering from the Trump visit that most Mexicans are still pissed about. One more misstep and they will be in pitchfork and torches mode. Nobody anywhere including State knows Mexico better than me.
El Presidente: "No."
Trump: "Okay, we will divert the vast majority of financial aid Mexico receives each year from the USA to go to building the wall, and we will impose harsh tariffs for not cooperating with us on this."
El Presidente: "H-How about we pay for 70% of it and you give us some hefty tax cuts?"
Trump: "How about those tax cuts only apply to Mexican national corporations so we can fu** the American businesses shipping jobs out-of-country?"
El Presidente: "Deal. And please buy some more tomatoes from us..."
And that is how this will happen. Both sides appeased, globalist scum gets the middle-finger, and our nation gets to protect our established border.
Strange, it's almost as if a businessman is running the show.
