Trump sometimes vaguely adds that Mexico will be paying for the wall through a “tax,” “charge” or “toll” he will impose “soon” on cars crossing the border. Nobody appears to know what he’s talking about.

A tax like a tariff that is levied on a foreign country but paid by US consumers?

He has not even sorted out the mechanism of how “Mexico will pay for the Wall”. Much less has he convened a planning commission, produced design and engineering studies, ordered environmental and legal impact statements for the regions involved, or given us any sort of budget or timetable.

It is clear to all but the blindest supporters that The Wall is just a talking point and a symbol.
