ORIGINAL: BoscoX That's just another of your ridiculous, unsupportable wild-eyed statements. No one is "ruining" trade with Mexico. WE have the upper hand, because they need us far more than we need them but because of weak leaders we have been getting a terrible deal. Now we have a better negotiator in charge who MAY set things right for us. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nearly-5-million-us-jobs-depend-on-mexico-2017-01-27 America DOESN'T have the upper hand because even if they do need America more than America needs them, AMERICA STILL NEEDS MEXICO-- A LOT. Trump is already extremely unpopular-- your 59% approval rating is bullshit... he is currently at 36%. https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2420 He has also angered the CIA, the FBI, most of the House and the Senate, the media, millions and millions of people in the US, more than that all around the world (I'm in Canada and everyone fucking HATES him, mocks him every single day... seriously, it doesn't take long for conversations to turn towards how much of a fuckup Trump is-- even the conservatives think so, with the right-wing former PM recently condemning him publicly). Even if Trump is stupid enough to keep pushing this inconceivably stupid wall bullshit, the people around him will start spiking his Pepsi with sleeping pills before they let him escalate this tension into a trade war. It's not a valid threat unless you can follow through, and following through will mean America loses its global influence and China picks up the slack. The president of Mexico telling Trump to go fuck himself is not a bluff-- it's a precedent, and other countries are already cautious, and likely to follow Mexico's lead. America is on its way to complete self-destruction and implosion... if Trump keeps pushing people around, America won't have any allies left... and that means China is the new top dog.
