“The auto industry would basically be grinded to a halt in about two weeks. $1.7 billion of services flow back and forth daily, and for the most part a shutdown could lead — a prolonged shutdown between the two countries could lead to a recession in Mexico and the U.S. What the president’s saying is, I will do whatever it takes to secure the country even if it hurts us economically because my first job is security. That’s called leadership. And if Republicans don’t go with it I get that too, but the president’s got a different responsibility.”
Brian Kilmeade on Trump's threats to shut down the southern border: "That's called leadership"
Since we all know Trump watches the show expect a Tweet to drop.
This is the same tactic they used when they went after him to persuade him to shut down the government.
Do you agree that despite the negative effects on the economy, Trump should shut down the border "for the good of the country?"
Here's more clips of the rightwing going spewing that type of claptrap...
Fox White House correspondent defends Trump's threat to shut down the southern border as "his solemn duty" to defend America
Fox's Mollie Hemingway on closing the southern border: "Sometimes you want to have a little bit of hurt so that people are incentivized to do something"
Fox regular argues closing the border is worth the economic cost
This sounds exactly like the government shutdown. Republicans lost bigly on this and want to repeat it. Is Trump the fool that these extreme rightwingers want him to be? The economy is Trump's last card and if he muffs it then he is finished.
This will not affect trade unless Mexico doesn't want to do business. Close it down to all but Commercial traffic and American citizens! what's wrong with that. Don't feed stray cats! and they go away.
