However, I don't think it will get that far. Mexico will fume and bluster, but ultimately back down.
Back down from what, leaving NAFTA? That I'll agree with, they have no reason to. Back down from
not paying for the wall? I doubt it.
we will either buy from China or *gasp* make it domestically.
Neither of which pay for the wall.
Securing the border is a reasonable pursuit, and condensing that down to "build the wall" makes for a great slogan and easy chants for rallies. But the whole "Mexico is gonna pay for it" thing was absurd from the start and he should have dropped it long ago.
I'm just telling you, there will be a payment, it will be in a form. Perhaps a complicated form..
I think he even knows he should back away from it now, but just can't do it.
