A couple of paragraphs from a good article summing this up nicely at Real Clear Politics: Disruptor-in-Chief Shows How to Win With Mexico But Trump did precisely what Trump was elected to do. He saw past the prevarications of the media, the self-serving platitudes of corporate plutocrats, and the pusillanimity of purported allies in the legislature. He took decisive executive action that forced the Mexican government to honor its obligations and respect the sovereignty of our land. After all, if Mexico or any other country wants access to the crown jewel of global commerce -- the American consumer market -- then it must act as a responsible partner. Our nation seeks prosperity and friendship with all nations, but will not be abused. Thankfully, President Trump channeled his predecessor Ronald Reagan, who advised, “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” In this case, the heat was intense enough to compel the Mexican government into swift and substantial action. The just-signed agreement between the Mexican foreign minister and the U.S. secretary of state pledges that “Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration,” including the deployment of its national guard to its southern border. Mexico further guarantees it will hold any migrants “while they await adjudication of their asylum claims.”
in effect, Trump couldn't get Mexico to pay for a border wall at the US southern border, so, he is asking US taxpayer to pay for for Mexico's southern wall if only Mojo would be more informed ignorance is bliss equating China w Mexico; for the education of Mojo China has had border walls for centuries; despite having them, it had been conquered by foreigners (Mongols/Manchus) at least twice
Yeah, maybe some posters have never heard of this thing called "The Great Wall of China," which is a bunch of ruins. Trump's penis/wall will be much smaller than China's penis/wall. . . .
Ok. I don't usually think of him as funny, but this is pretty hilarious. Kudos either to him or the smart person handling his twitter.
Tilman could lie 5 times a day for the next two seasons and not approach the number of lies that have come out of trump’s big mouth or have been produced on Twitter by his corpulent fingers the last two years. That’s not an “opinion,” either.
But was Trump also lying about successfully reducing the flow of . . . those people? We still don't need The Wall, at least! See how Trump secretly laid The Wall to rest there?
LOL... the conman gets called out on his lies and has a temper tweetrum... And when all else fails, whine about President Obama...
LOL... now that his last con job was exposed, trump spins out some new "goalpost location" that requires his attempt to influence some democratic process to happen in Mexico (via threat of tariffs). Mexico is likely to ignore this latest threat (since they saw through his previous ones). Curious whether his lemming like supporters will fall for these again? Or will continue to blame "illigal" immigration on Democrats so more?
We are borrowing money from China to pay farmers with a socialism payout. Instead of selling them our goods. It is staggering how stupid some people are. DD
