one out of every seven dollars in the usa is produced by California....

Trump has lost before he starts.... and that assuming new york, washington , and a lot of other blue states dont join.

The Port of Los Angeles: America's Port® | Port of Los Angeles

Where San Diego Greets the World | Port of San Diego

thats jjust glossing over the idea that you seem tothink theres a guy with a cash register at the land ports waiting to collect?

or overlooking the fact that 14% of the entire us economy is produced by california... so they could jjust tell washington to shove it.
