But Mexico was going to pay for it , or NAFTA2.0 is , so why are you asking for $5 billion dollars from taxpayers and playing with 800k ( and many more ) people’s lives
OWS TradeJustice retweeted
The differences are that tariffs are passed on to U.S. consumers, not Mexico and that your NAFTA2.0 has not been authorized by Congress yet so it's not doing anything.
Why do you lie when the internet is full of proof you're lying?
Do you just think your supporters are dumb?

Also in the real world: when someone pays for something, the other side gets...money. In hand. To use.
And thus doesn't need to ask taxpayers for...money. To use. For that same thing.
If NAFTA2.0 had already "paid" for the Vanity Wall "many times over" we'd be DONE here, right?

You're right, December did set records: record stock market losses!
Also, veterans choice is more expensive/less effective
Small towns and old manufacturing centers are crumbling
NAFTA2.0 has not been approved!

1.That "deal" has MICRO CHANGES from the NAFTA deal. So its REALLY #NAFTA2.0
2. To use mikeys words: That IS NOT what YOU #IMPLIED & YOU KNOW it!
You THOUGHT Mex would hand over a 1 time payment, or YOU KNOWINGLY #LIED & wanted to use "trade deal" EXCUSE ALL ALONG.

NAFTA2.0 is not even in place yet. So there is no savings. The US Treasury receives nothing from a trade deals — unless companies trading with Mexico and/or Canada have higher taxable incomes and pay more in federal taxes. Which would still be Americans funding the silly wall.

As usual all your super rich buddies will get more money from NAFTA2.0 and put it in their pockets (not even in super company). Gov not getting money to reimburse for stupid wall. Making money at others expense your trump trademark! GRIFTER/CONMAN!

You've said it repeatedly, and you've been wrong each time. While your #NAFTA proposal DOES add new rules to help pharmaceutical lock-in outrageously high prescription drug prices for consumers & taxpayers, it DOESN'T raise money for your ridiculous border wall.

"From Mexico’s national perspective, however, any positive effects on economic growth will likely be at the margins and will benefit the relatively well-off northern border rather than those areas in dire need in Mexico’s south." #USMCA / #NAFTA

This is nuts! The House will be out of session from the 17th to 28th. I say let's keep ALL Members of Congress in DC to negotiate w each other and @realDonaldTrump until there is deal. Lock us all in a room here...no phones...no pay...and this will end very quickly.

The EU subsidises #palmoil in biodiesel fuel, causing #deforestation & killing #orangutans. The good news? The @EU_Commission can stop this on Feb 1. Tell @TimmermansEU @MAC_europa @MalmstromEU #NotInMyTank ✍️petition: sumofus.org/not-in-my-tank

NAFTA 2.0 must include strong labor and environmental standards that are subject to swift and certain enforcement. On this most critical measure, the NAFTA 2.0 text falls short. More from @WallachLori in @thehill: bit.ly/2rkTiZL
A White House occupant overstepping already-too-liberal powers. Time for Congress to rein him in; founders would be appalled at how much power has been ceded to the executive. #NoImperialPresidency #NoMonarchsButButterflies!
To recap, in the past 48 hours, Trump has pushed us to the brink of a government shutdown, had his Secretary of Defense resign, and abruptly changed the direction of our Syria policy via Twitter, without consulting his aides or cabinet.
This is a White House in chaos.
