IMMIGRATION/POLITICS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “President Trump will honor his pledge to build a border wall, and he has answered Mexico’s refusal to pay for it with threats of a 20% tax on Mexican imports. He says he’ll renegotiate NAFTA, and Mexicans fear he’ll try to limit investment in their country’s manufacturing and automotive sectors to revive those industries in the U.S. So how will Mexico respond? It could answer Trump by electing a populist firebrand of its own–a President of the left who vows to punch back.”
