I'm not confused. And these kinds of stories count on people with the attention-span of a teaspoon.Well, dumbass, NPR intentionally omitted the word IMPORTS from the story. Why.....one can only assume. I was waiting for them to say what the White House actually said, but to no avail.Mexican exports are exactly what Mexico IMPORTS into the United States.
What a fucking dumbass.
BTW, it's intentional omissions like this that leads to misunderstandings. This is just one example and there are many.
I doubt there was an intentional anything. I am quite confident that NPR listeners understand that it is Mexican exports that are imported into the United States. I am pretty sure they understand that the United States has no ability to tax Mexican imports, that would be within the purview of Mexico.
Your confusion is quite understandable. NPR is not like FOX news. NPR expects their audience to have at least the intelligence of a sixth grader and the ability to think critically. You should probably just go back to FOX news where they expect the audience to be dumber than a box of rocks and know full well that their listeners are too damn lazy to think for themselves.
