Trump threatens to close the southern border next week, saying he's 'not playing games'
President Trump said Friday that next week he would close the southern border, or at least large sections of it, if Mexico does not halt illegal immigration into the United States, repeating a threat he has made before but never with a specific timetable.
In a series of tweets and later during appearances before reporters, Trump did not spell out exactly what a border closing would entail but said it could involve halting “all trade” between the two countries — a prospect that would have profound ramifications for the U.S. economy.
Trump blamed Mexico for a growing flow of “illegals” entering the United States and cited two large migrant caravans making their way toward the U.S. border.
“If they don’t stop them, we’re closing the border,” Trump said at an event in Florida. “We’ll close it. And we’ll keep it closed for a long time. I’m not playing games. Mexico has to stop it.”

Someone commented earlier that several million jobs could be affected if he does this. The moron keeps trying to shoot himself in the foot.
