I'm not sure if you're joking it's that ridiculous. That's not the way real-life works. Unless the Mexicans get something spectacular in return, they won't pay a cent. It's a pipe dream. Getting the media to back and pay for a political campaign isn't comparable to international politics. |
NAFTA is an executive agreement. Congressional action on NAFTA has permitted the President to enter into these agreements. This means that the President has the authority to renegotiate these agreements under the trade acts passed by Congress in the 70's and 80's.
NAFTA has no expiration date but it must be periodically renegotiated. NAFTA benefits Mexico and big business in the USA and Donald Trump would be in a huge position to put Mexico in a vice over it. Mexico would gladly build a wall with their NAFTA trade surplus.
And bear in mind that he would have the backing of the AFL-CIO on this issue which may effect a massive Republican landslide in the general election. Trump is on the verge of becoming an unstoppable juggernaut.
When he says there will be a big, beautiful wall you'd better believe him.
