Trump

[Keiran]

I also like the idea of removing illegal immigrants out of the country by building a wall funded by Mexico; give me a reason why they should stay. .

Unfortunately illegal immigrants have already taken over. The wall would have had to been built along the east coast and the gulf about 600 years ago to have prevented that because they actually came by ship across the Atlantic Ocean.

(I'm racist, aren't I?).

Every Trump supporter automatically is. (You asked.) His entire strategy is to gain supporters by feeding off their fear of other races, religions, sexualities, the lower class, and women. Every reason you gave on why you support him is because he vows to "protect" you from something you fear (not having guns, immigrants, the poor receiving benefits, and black people standing up to oppression).

The United States is 77% European and only 23% minority races. Most of the South was the leftovers of segregation along with the mid-west where there is no other jobs but policing. The cities are really small in comparison and many people from these small towns comes to big cities to take jobs, and play pretend.

However what people fail to acknowledge is the alienation of people in general or the building grounds for racism andoother plot holes.

Trump basically just showed off the reality with the United States. We need to boycott and pray everybody will be okay.

I gotta ask though is Trump actually serious about building that wall across the mexican border and having them fund it? Like how can anyone think that'll go well I can imagine the conversation already like:

trump: oh hey mexico i wanted to build a wall along our border to keep ur ppl out mind paying 4 it?

mexican president: lol fuck no

On his website he plans to blackmail Mexico by preventing remittances. Mexico's not going to be happy about that. I think he'll forget about it if he gets elected but he'll be hounded on it if he goes into the general.

I doubt he'll try that since Mexico has a strong relationship with Russia via their mutual trade agreement, and America would be fools to make enemies of Russia right now. That's one country you don't wanna piss off.

I-I...

Trade between Mexico and the US amounts to half of all Mexican imports AND exports. Total bilateral trade with Russia amounts to less than 1% of both Russian and Mexican GDP (and you have to divide that 1% between both sides). Russia currently is a world pariah, suffering sanctions from both the EU and the US, and with a collapsing economy. Mexico simply doesn't have the possibility of shunning the US away from its relations (neighbours and all that, plus an even stronger trade agreement than they'll ever have with Russia). So the US would indeed have the upper hand to extort them into obedience, lest the US wreck their economy.

Plus, Russia is unofficial enemies with everybody right now, and if they are calmer it's thanks to Kerry and (German Chancellor) Merkel having good personal rapport with Putin and foreign minister Lavrov. I'm completely sure that if they wanted to start a war (coughSyriacoughUkraine) they wouldn't need Mexico as an excuse, and if they wanted to play "good cop" for a while, nothing that happened to a far away country they barely have any trade with would make them move a finger.
