If this February's numbers are true, why is it that Trump is imposing the tariffs on Mexico and Canada to make them do more to help secure our borders? If the borders are already becoming secure under Trump (which appears to be the message that your meme is sending), why the tariffs?
The reason is that Trump knows that Americans will be unhappy with the impact of the tariffs on their family budgets. Nor will the financial markets react favorably to the tariffs, as we saw in yesterday's substantial market losses.
So he is using the border as an excuse for the tariffs. He thinks people will be willing to put up with the negative results of the tariffs, if it is for "a good cause." So much for transparency. The Con Man continues his show.
