The Great Wall of Trump.

It looks like an done deal. Mr President Trump signed the order to build his wall along the Mexico border. Cost no problem Mexico going to pick up the tab on import taxes the estimated cost could be from 17 billion dollars to an eye watering 25 billion dollars.

The border will cover many different terrains is this idea even practical ?

The issues are varied like negotiating for private land deals , wild life , the actual construction of the wall getting materials to the various sites it will be an huge undertaking . This could end up been Trump's folly .

Its fascinating and at least it isnt dull. Its highly questionable whether it will be as effective as he thinks, except it appeals to his voters. Mexico is the US 3rd biggest trading partner, so its essentially going to turn into a trade war. The wall could be with us for decades if not longer. I have a feeling it will end up costing a lot more.

The drugs will still get through and there wil be more overstayers, intil they have built enough tunnels. He's had an eventful first week.

Mexico have said they won't pay for it. How will trump make them?

well it come become a wonder of the world if built properly, maybe the great wall of America?

6 Million American jobs depend on free trade with Mexico.

I have read that tyres imported from China are/were taxed at 40%; so perhaps there is support for tariffs?

Tariffs receive in 1800 = $10.8 million

Tariffs receive in 1900 = $567.2 million

Tariffs receive in 2000 = $2,025,200 million

Over 40% of illegal Mexican immigrants arrived legally by the air and over stayed on their Visa. How a wall is going to solve this problem is beyond me! Haha!

It's a totally stupid idea ideologically, practically and economically. Hopefully Trump will be defeated long before anything actually happens.

Well, at least he seems to get things done! Compared to the snails in this country who take forever on even the smallest issues.

Maybe we could learn from that.

He hasn't actually done anything yet apart from sign some orders. One of them is to abolish their version of the NHS. Maybe you prefer someone destroying heathcare quickly than building it slowly. Or maybe you'd like him to grab your pussy quickly.

...I take it that you disagree with the Supreme Court's judgement earlier this week, and that you have no problem whatsoever letting May elbow MPs and Lords out and turn the UK into a low wage tax heaven subservient to US interests (you know, life in the UK as it was post-2008 crisis, only orders of magnitude worse with proper cuts this time)?

You just don't ever learn, Anna, do you?

Still falling for the demagogy head over heels
