On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..

1. Another direct tax on American consumers.

[tanyev]

2. I guess he's concluded that no Trumpsters buy fresh produce.

[Kurt V.]

3. this isn't possible under NAFTA. so its bs

[Clash City Rocker]

4. Perhaps he thinks a recession will...help his re-election bid, somehow?

[Doodley]

5. He is out of control, out of his mind, out of ideas that aren't based on bigotry, and he needs

To be voted out of office.

[Chin music]

6. One note Charlie.

He's destroying our economy. My budget doesn't lie. Once consumer prices go up, they rarely, if ever, go back down. Gouging Americans to act like he has some plan.

[Submariner]

7. As if grocery costs weren't through the roof already

What an Assh*le!

[Harker]

8. Not with a bang...

but a whimper.

9. Psst, hey, Donnie,

it's never gonna stop.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. So who is going to pay for this?

Oh yeah, that's right...American consumers.


Trump, you are a complete fucking idiot.

Like poor Mexican farmers will hear of this and/or take it into mind. What a crock.

12. He's just trying to cut off the US from its traditional trading partners and weaken it. He's a

goddamned Russian agent.

[procon]

13. That's going to really hurt consumers at the

grocery store. Add 5% onto the cost of fresh produce... Think luscious avacadoes and big juicy tomatoes, even coffee.

14. Orange fool#45 loves taxing the poor American people. Mexicans don't

care about his suggested 5% tariff because they will not pay it. And, Americans will still have to buy the Mexican products because there are not enough competitors to step up. Informing him is obviously a fool's errand, as likely he has been told this a thousand times.

15. Another tariff war

and we all know just how "great" the first one is doing!

More pain for consumers, that seems to be the trump agenda.

[JCMach1]

16. Say goodbye to fresh produce

[area51]

17. Hmm, I thought Donnie said

he'd give Mexico a year before he started imposing tariffs.
