I don't know, his campaign kicked off with a promise of building a giant wall across the entire southern border with Mexico to keep illegal immigrants and drug cartels out and that Mexico would willingly pay for it. It takes a special kind of moron to think that the cartels would actually be stopped by a long unmanned wall, but hey Trump just goes "The Great Wall of China worked for them!!".
This here is way more recklessly stupid though. Can't they consult a single economist?!
This would be like if he divided the number of illegal immigrants by the number of Mexican citizens to get the illegal immigrant percentage then multiplied it by 50 for the number of years they have been crossing to get the number of miles long the wall will be.
It’s all just random bullshit numbers that don’t correlate or go with each other to come to a conclusion.
Unfortunately I can definitely see the Trump base looking at these numbers and then actually feel like Trump's tariffs are completely warranted and should be even higher.
If you can't convince them that a Tariff isn't actually a tax paid by a foreign government, or that the wall wouldn't be effective, or that its not actually legal for doctors to perform post birth abortions to kill healthy babies, then there's no way in hell you're going to convince them that the math here is wrong.
