Much of politics is an exercise in diversion and theater while the real agenda plays out just below the surface. The challenge, then, for the person who is trying to figure out what really is going on is to distinguish between what is said and done for appearance, and what the real goals and plans are. This is often a difficult task as those who have made it to the top typically have honed their skills very well.
Donald Trump is a master negotiator, having literally written the book on making deals. As such, he is quite capable of offering a proposal that he knows will not be accepted simply as one step in moving the negotiation process forward. So it is wise never to make judgements on the progress of negotiations just based on what is said or proposed while the matter is in play.
The construction of the border wall is a major component in President Trump’s plan to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration. What makes it even more controversial is that he has claimed that Mexico will pay for it.
Will they?

Michael Lawson yet we still do.
David Breyer no you will be paying . I don’t buy their products . Buy locally ! Grow your own produce .
These are top imports from Mexico. There is nothing here with a “Made in Mexico” label you can see. Not to mention things like computer components and car parts. Prices will go up. Sure people can look at clothing labels and buy American. But who is going to start a business making cars, growing food, producing oil, manufacturing electrical equipment, just so they know no part of it is made in Mexico. Who knows where parts are made in any of the hundreds of things we use in our daily lives? It’s a lot more complicated than just a label you can see and avoid.
He’s already negotiating with Mexico, like it or not?
Sock it too them.
Brandy Copeland Yours is a better answer, go to the head of the Econ 101 class
