I'm sure China will be happy to lower their tariffs for Mexico and take some of that off their hands.

Even with the tariff, Mexico cannot afford to exclusively trade with China. They need the US.

this doesn't make any sense. You think China is going to become a market for Mexican goods?

And American consumers will be happy to purchase products formerly purchased from Mexico from Singapore, Malaysia, etc instead. But we will still generate tax revenue from Mexico. And I guess the prices on some products will increase marginally. And we will probably never see any wage inflation in this country to offset this due to increased economic activity, because higher wages offsetting higher prices on a few products doesn't factor in to the equation.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the only things that really matters is when Americans ask themselves this question, am I better off now than I was 4 years ago?

Your bet, and I don't presume to put words in your mouth, but only base this off of your posts, is no. My bet is yes.

We can check back 2020 and see who was correct.
