I'm still worried about how he's even going to accomplish that, seeing as he's also planning to deport the cheapest sources of agricultural labor.

Simple. Prices will go up, Trump will hold a press conference announcing prices are lower, and 50% of the country will believe prices are lower instead of the lying mainstream media.

This the the answer. The two major tenets of his platform are "raise tarrifs" (inflationary!) and "deport immigrants" (raising costs on production). Shit is going to get more expensive, but it won't matter if facts continue not to matter and you have a boogieman to shake your stick at.
