Technically they’re paid by the importer, who may or may not be American. Some portion of the increase is passed to the consumer, some is passed to the importer, some is borne by the importer, some is offset by newly stimulated activity locally which occurs in various ways. In this case total amount paid is approaching the entire cost of the wall on a yearly basis, so yes, is safe to say Trump has paid for the wall with Mexico tariffs.
That is before you account for the fact that illegals cost the US taxpayer far more than Mexico tariffs, so it pays for itself in that way quite quickly also. Obviously, you dishonest rtrd.
🚨Trump’s Border Wall Nears Completion
By the end of Trump’s second term, the Trump administration is on pace to complete 1,418 miles of primary steel bollard wall, 708 miles of secondary steel bollard wall in high-traffic areas, 536 miles of waterborne barriers, and 536 miles of Smart Wall technology coverage in areas with otherwise impassable terrain.
Most importantly, Trump’s new border wall is set to become a permanent feature along the United States’ southern border.
In California, Arizona and New Mexico, the wall sits on the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot-wide strip of land owned by the federal government along the border. In Texas, the federal government has been acquiring private land through eminent domain. Once the government takes the title, the land stays federal.
And even if Democrats regain control of the federal government in the future, Trump’s border wall is set to remain in place. When construction was paused in 2021 under Joe Biden’s directive, the existing wall stayed up despite the Biden administration’s best legal efforts to take it down.
In essence, President Trump has not only illegal-alien-proofed the southern border, he’s Democrat-proofed it as well.

@Logan18908709@thechudda That’s my point. He was one of the most effective men of the last 20 years in politics and if you want to be useful you’d learn from him. Although it requires being well spoken…
He’s right insofar as a portion of the costs can in the long run make its way to consumers. But it still remains that the portion paid by Mexico is exceeding the cost of the wall now or very soon. Also, a tariff is meant to partially replace the taxes that would be collected if the activity was being done domestically, and to stimulate local activity, so it’s all moot. You can’t pick and choose which abstract costs to include in your model, while excluding the abstract benefits
Scion is back... and will sell kei trucks in America.
The brand has released the KEI-01, a 660-cc mini truck that will be built and sold in the US.
Yes, you read all of that correctly.
@Logan18908709@thechudda If you’re going to act as a foil and create free PR for the left, you might as well get paid for it. Doing it for free is even dumber
The end of the Trump era is also the end of the long 20th Century. Trump is the quintessential Midcentury American. Real estate tycoon, mobbed up construction contractor, gameshow host, casino magnate, serial philanderer, golf course owner, actor, President, Felon, he did it all.
