You are witnessing The Art of the Deal in real time! Mexico has already blinked!

Chris, it sounds like you are hoping things go badly (left flapping a bit).

Remember, to make an omelette you gotta crack a few eggs.

Sit back, relax, it’s all gonna be alright!

No. Trump blinked after Mexico told him about what was going to happen with their retaliatory tariffs. Nice try to recast Trump’s latest screw-up.

10,000 troops to our border for no cost to the USA. 💥

JB did nothing for 4 years, in one day President Trump has got Mexico to support his efforts on the border!

That’s called WINNING !!!!!

Mexico and Canada each agreed to do exactly what they had agreed to under Biden, nothing more. Trump's "artful deal" was to maintain the status quo and take all the credit for himself.

The one thing that Trump does much, much better than Biden, or anyone since P.T. Barnum, is self-promotion. He loudly takes credit for everything he views as positive and loudly blames others for everything negative, regardless of whether he was even involved.

Mexico did a lot to support our efforts at our mutual border, after the Biden administration negotiated with them to do more to stop migrants crossing their southern border. That administration accomplished that without threats and bullying, without losing the trust of our allies, without causing a crisis. And, the result was a plumneting of the numbers of migrants coming to our southern border. While these thoughtless tarrifs will cause displacement of people in Mexico by causing loss of jobs which will then result in MORE migrants coming to our border. Not to mention Mexico may decide to stop trying to help us by restricting their southern border, result, MORE migrants coming to our border!

So it’s your belief the JB administration did good work on the southern border?

Hey, I’ve got a great deal on a slightly used bridge in NYC. Let me know if your interested

That is not at all what I said. But, when President Biden left office, border crossingss were at a level lower than when djt left office in 2021 during a pandemic when migrants were not traveling....

And, I bet you bought that bridge at a great price, eh?

A mutual agreement between nations is not a screw-up.

Expand full comment

Yeah, “mutual”. Haha!!

Trump was gonna get slammed for all the price increases on Mexican goods so he “agreed” to a halt. He backed down pure and simple.

You were right! Trump totally lost with Canada and Mexico today!

83% of Mexico’s exports are to the USA. Their top export is oil…a commodity which we can produce here once the Bidenomics crazy was repealed. It was not the USA who blinked.

"In 2022, Mexico exported $421B to United States. The main products that Mexico exported to United States were Computers ($36.8B), Cars ($34.1B), and Motor vehicles; parts and accessories (8701 to 8705) ($31.8B)."

With fruits and vegetables the next highest.

Mutual agreements between nations are done every day, with negotiations, and diplomacy. Listening and talking.

djt just likes the quick attention and can not stand diplomacy much less the time it takes to negotiate, so he bullies his way to an "agreement." An agreement with a bully is not worth spit.

Not to mention the bad faith of our former allies who now will distrust any agreement we make.

Not to mention his proposed tarrifs broke the trade agreement he made with Mexico and Canada during his first crack as prez.

NOT to mention the Biden administration negotiated with Mexico to get them to do more to halt migrants crossing their southern border and as a result the numbers of migrants coming to our southern border plummeted.

NOT to mention when tarrifs cause displacement around the world due to rising costs of living and lack of food and jobs it will create MORE migrants coming to our borders!

For sure! Biden and his border Czar were all over that border emergency which wasn’t an emergency. Same team who tried to have a fire sale on the wall before leaving office. Your rant is almost as if you hate America?

I know how facts upset you. Just breathe deeply, and later go look up whatever you think I got wrong when you are feeling better.

Fact: Deals made with both Mexico & Canada! Art of the Deal! Winning

Fact, djt's threatened tariffs violated the trade agreement he negotiated and signed with Canada and Mexico. Which means our closest allies and two of our biggest trading partners will no longer trust the word, or anything this administration "agrees" to.

The art of bullying to destroy all further relations you mean. But I am glad that you are happy with the US now being a bully instead of a trusted friend or partner. Let's see how far that gets us. It is a dangerous world and we may need friends in the future, but cheap red hats made in China will protect us huh?

You stated no facts and asserted falsehoods. Gaslighting me that Biden was tough on that border is just ridiculous.

I see you are too lazy to look up actual facts. Relying on "truth" social or toutube for ypyr news just leaves you not knowing what is actually happening.

Facts: "Mutual agreements between nations are done every day, with negotiations, and diplomacy. Listening and talking.

An agreement with a bully is not worth spit.

Not to mention the bad faith of our former allies who now will distrust any agreement we make.

Sorry if you can't read "long" posts, or deal with facts containedcwithin them.

When did Biden negotiate with Mexico? Are you referring to the June 2024??<- Yes June 2024 Biden Executive Order?

By the way, the word 'tariff' is not spelled "tarrif"...you should pump the breaks with the assumption you are the smart guy.

🥱 Trolls complain about innocent mispelling, especially when it is only mispelled once and correctly spelled another time. Look in the mirror....

If you can’t spell tariff correctly, you may not be an expert.

Let me act like you in my reply:

Stop getting your FACTS from CNN because the mispellung shows youdont know what you are talking about. Jbiden used tarrifs too. Hunter sucks.

What negotiation are you referring to that Biden made with Mexico where the illegal immigration plummeted?

"Sit back and relax"?.........

A spectacularly insensitive comment to those who are worried about how to pay the rent and afford the inevitable rising cost of food. At some point it's going to be difficult to untie that knot you have put yourself justifying the actions of this ridiculous man-child.
