You guys in this thread that bash anyone that evenly remotely agrees with Trump on anything, really need to pick up an economics textbook. Your economic illiteracy is astounding. I guess you don't wnat to get economics advice on a large dick forum, who would have thought. You may also want to pick up The Art of the Deal so you can understand how Trump negotiates and pushes the Overton window.
There won't be a 20 percent tariff. This idea is an opening bid to negotiations. If Mexico digs in and won't negotiate and a 20 percent tariff is enacted, it would be a complete economic disaster for Mexico, and no most manufacturers simply won't be able to pass the cost onto the consumer, that is not how economics works. Mexico would shortly bend their knee and give into Trump's demands after suffering severe consequences.
