White House exploring ways for Mexico to pay for border wall

How to pay for "a beautiful wall"?

Let me count the ways...

• A tax on goods coming across the border - If the U.S. puts a 20% tax on imports, guess who pays that tax? You, the consumer! Retailers will just raise the price of imported articles by 20% (and probably others too! Hey, you don't know which articles were actually hit with Trump's tariff and the store owners will brush off any complaints/questions with "Well, you know that we've taxed imports to pay for the wall.")

• A tax on drug cartels - Ha! Good luck with that!! Pity the tax collectors!!!

• Fines to people who come to the U.S. illegally - Ha, again! First of all, you would have to find them/catch them. Hmmm...if the illegals pay the fine, does that mean that they get to stay? If so, then why not just announce to the world the price of U.S. residency and maybe a lot of people will forget about trying to sneak in and just pay the price of admission at the border checkpoint! Oh...what if the illegals refuse to pay the fine, does that mean they get to stay in the U.S., albeit in jail or prison, at U.S. taxpayer expense?!

Look, suck it up taxpayers, it's on us.

We, the People, elected Donald Trump as President of the United States. His rabid core chanted "Build the Wall" at his campaign rallies, a fervor that got him elected despite his obvious lack of qualifications. He/we will build the wall. Period.

Ronald Reagan, Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall, is spinning in his grave.

Another short little article...

...alleging that President Trump is trying to turn the page, to change the topic of conversation from his immigration ban to his supreme court choice:

President Trump's Supreme Court pick could be announced Monday

Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I mean, if we have learned anything, it's that Donald Trump is a creature of habit, including his Twitter addiction. Since he used tail-wagging-the-dog tactics successfully during his campaign...

...they do address him as President Trump...

...why wouldn't he do so now?!
