To me anyway, Trump's comments were ill advised, all too typical, pointless, and another example of how negative he is at heart. His actual "proposals" are to drill drill drill and close the border, which I guess plays well with his base. Maybe he'll "ban Muslims from entering while he's at it.
Meanwhile, the US today has record high oil production, and it's up to the drilling companies to drill, or not, usually depending on pricing. As for closing the border, I can't even imagine what is meant by that. Mexico today is our largest trading partner.
