Absolutely fantastic. :usa:

Thus far in his Executive Orders he has also -

• Ended funding for abortions overseas
• Began process of rolling back Obamacare
• Withdrawn US from signing the TPP
• Ordered a freeze on federal government hiring
• Approved the Dakota and Keystone oil pipelines

Being a businessman he actually seems to be capable of getting the job done and for the moment seems to be actually doing what he has promised. Like anyone in public office, keep an eye on him but he's really impressing me so far.

It's gonna be a bigly and beautiful wall!

Thoughts?

Dow Jones at it's highest as trader bet Trump policies will boost economy.

He is like Prime Minister Modi. He keeps to his promises and does well which scares his opponents.

Better and cheaper to build a wall around the White House while he's in it

Anyway...
There are ways around a wall such as tunnels and boats that people can use to enter the US. If you really want to solve illegal immigration issues you have to punish the people who use illegal labor and punish so severely that the risks of getting caught outweigh the benefits, then if illegal immigrants can't find job opportunities in the US they will either try to become citizens or return to their country of origin. Though that comes with its drawbacks as most people won't do the jobs that migrant farm workers do for minimum wage. Not to mention the animals that migrate between the borders.

How is he gonna make Mexico pay for it

Indirect taxation.

- Import duties
- Tariffs
- Border crossing charge
- Tourist levy

[FlyingJesus]

Well that isn't making them pay for the wall that's charging people more for things that already exist and then buying a wall himself unless he literally sets up a separate fund for it that only gets to use money from Mexico, which is more ridiculous than his hair

@FlyingJesus;

Looks like he's already announced.

I don't understand the whole war thing trump is basically wanting a wall but expecting mexico to pay for his idea. This will cause issues between both countries.

lol raising the prices for Americans on Mexican imports isn't getting Mexico to pay
