Quote:"Just one swipe of the pen," he said. "We lose, with Mexico, $195 billion a year. If I don't trade with Mexico, they have nothing that we have to have. I mean, Hot Tamales, tomatoes, a couple of things. But basically they have nothing that we need."
Hot Tamales are produced by the company Just Born, which was founded in New York, Trump's home state, in 1923 and has since moved to Pennsylvania, according to its website. They boast that they produce "America’s #1 Cinnamon flavored candy."
Hot Tamales aside, Trump claimed he would not cut trade with Mexico because he respects their president, then quietly threatened that he could cut trade with Canada.
Trump, not understanding trade deficits.
