Donald Trump is in the process of destroying America

Donald Trump has made quite the splash in the political community these last couple of days. He's made some smart moves, however, it's hard to ignore the signs of both environmental destruction and economic turmoil. Let's start with the economic portion. Donald Trump wanting to build a wall at the US/Mexican border has been well known for quite a while. He wants one that rivals the Great Wall of China. His initial plan during his campaign is that Mexico would pay for this wall; mind you, estimated costs range from 15-20 billion dollars. It has been decided that the US taxpayers will foot the bill for this wall. This goes against his promise to make Mexico pay for the wall AND his promise to lower taxes for all. On top of this, the Mexican president is has publicly stated that Mexico will not pay for this wall that they don't even want. BUT DON'T FRET. Donald Trump, in a recent interview with ABC, said that Mr. Pena (Mexican president) has to say that and assures us that Mexico will still pay for the wall in some kind of transaction, however, he was extremely vague about it. What happens when they don't pay for the wall? Will Mr. Trump threaten them with War? Does he believe that Mexico is indebted to the US? Environmentally: Another major point of Trumps campaign was to bring production based jobs back home. 2 initiatives to do this is [b]1. To lower corporate taxes assuming that the extra money will be redirected towards the American job market and 2. Reduce environmental regulations because they are "out of control."[/b] and yes, he did say they are out of control in his meeting with the major car manufacturers. This may actually bring production jobs back homw, however, there are major environmental consequences of bringing factories here. There are major air pollutants as well as possible toxic waste generated as a by product of factories, especially without environmental regulations in place to prevent it. As an added bonus, Trump froze the EPA, whom mainly conduct environmental research which would most likely fight the disregard of environmental regulations with scientific proof. And if that's not bad enough, the poor air quality will like to more illness. These employees, most likely working minimum wage, will not have any affordable health care in place to make up for the rise in health risks. TL;DR: Mexico wont pay for the wall, the taxpayers will, and there will be minimal environmental regulations on the stateside factories which will lead to environmental and health harm with now affordable health care system in place. These 2 things will destroy America, and those who voted for him should be ashamed by this display of idiocy and dishonesty.

  • Mexico WILL "pay" for the wall. If you ever looked anything up you would know that the planned method for funding to for the US to reduce federal funding TO Mexico by a set amount so that the wall will be paid for. America is basically taking money that they would have just given to Mexico and are spending it on a wall to separate Mexico.
