FWIW, I could have gauged the responses before they were typed.

Oh, he's no ultra-isolationist and I don't know who ever made that claim. It's hard to gauge all his holdings, but just off what's transparent he makes several hundred million dollars per year in dealings with foreign investors. Much of that from Russian and Chinese investors. He's not a communist, but his business relies heavily on communism. Weird.

Which is what makes this a little absurd. Automakers will pass the increased expense on to consumers (mostly in the US), but this does nothing to bring jobs back to the US. So it's just costing US consumers more for boosting Mexico's economy.
