MAGA!

Trump has pulled the Mexican tariff threat. I believe Mexico has agreed to pay for “the wall”, too. More at 10 o’clock!
You realize that was the plan, right? To threaten the tariffs in order to pressure Mexico into doing something to stem the tide of migrants?

Or are you under the impression Mexico isn't going to do anything and Trump is just pulling the threat?

Inquiring minds want to know. I do, too.
 
As part of the deal, Mexico demanded we give Salma Hayek back. To which Trump said, "fine, she is 53 now, I have no use for her. I can find younger"

Edit: "I can pay younger"

He tried to date Salma Hayek. She responded that she could find richer. She did.

Problem solved. Hail to the Chief, for the Chief is all for hailing....
 
Create a crisis.
Demand success based upon your undefined criteria.
Declare victory.
What happens when humans keep showing up at our border? Blame someone else? Deny they are really there?
Mitch McConnell explained to Mike Pence, yeah, no. We aren't getting in a trade war with Mexico and Canada. Republicans will block that. So tell the President whatever you want just be sure to tell him he won and move on.

Yes. Mexico is going to do nothing and Trump will continue to claim a victory. And the real pain will come with the new NAFTA because no one is signing it when the US can elect a white nationalist populist that bends the law in his favor to asses tariffs

Even many on the left (not far left) are coming out and admitting there is a crisis at our southern border. I see your head is still buried firmly in your ass.

Lol, trade war with Canada and Mexico.

Putin is also ripping Trump on trade.

I, of course, understand that the Russian moves are all fake, in order to make people think Trump really is not a Russian agent. Clever bastards.

What Thump says and what actually happens, many times are quite different. Just wait a month.

You realize that any "deal" with Mexico, is formally referred to as at "Treaty", which must be ratified by the Senate to take effect. Currently, the NAFTA 2.0 isn't even in force yet.

So, yes, we'd like to know about this "treaty" we've allegedly made with Mexico. Because it sure sounds like Trump just backed down after 50 Republicans in the Senate told him this path was a no-go.

Winning hurts for the losers.
Just sayin.

Exactly how is this a "win" for Trump? That he got Mexico to do jack squat? Trump flung this out there without consulting anyone again. Congressional Republicans finally stood up to him on something and told him to go f**k himself. I'm betting there was an under the table threat that if he wants their support during the inevitable impeachment hearings he will drop the tariff idea as well. Trump concedes and makes a desperate grab to claim victory when he just got emasculated. Again. Lucky for him, he doesn't have to try real hard to save face with his base.

You want to know the first sign that this is Trump getting his ass kicked? He waited until the middle of the night on a Friday to do it.

Sooo worst case we're back where were a week ago, best case Mexico continues to take action to stem at least some of the mass illegal entries, as they stated to recently.
Why is any of this a bad thing?
