Jimbo1337 said:He has stated that we are losing about 45 billion dollars in trade deficit to Mexico every year.  So for Mexico to pay about 5 billion of those dollars for a wall should not be a problem for them.  I don't think that he is hating on them in the slightest, but rather fixing the issues that are currently riddled throughout our nation.

As for the interview: I thought it was a rather informative interview that showed where Trump stands with certain issues while incorporating funny visuals.  Great job to both Trump and Colbert.


That.... doesn't add up? That is the logical equivalent of me saying:

My employees spend $10,000 at a bar every week. I'm going to make that bar owner pay $2,000 to repair my fence.

There's a bit of a jump. The trade deficit is not with the Governments, it's between the people of the countries. American citizens CHOOSE to buy products made by Mexicans. That's it. That's all a trade deficit is. That money doesn't belong to either Government.
