How?
How do you threaten to shut the border for three or four days then switch to something new?
I wouldn’t fear his threats if I was mexico either.
I LOVE 98 percent of what Trump does.
Not this.

Unfortunately, that missing 2 percent just might destroy the Republic.
Why? Because the effects of mass illegal immigration are simply not reversible. It’s not like a tax increase that can be corrected a year later with the stroke of a pen.
The threat of tariffs is not credible...in fact it transmits that the U.S. is afraid (for it’s economy) to close the border. If closing the border is too damaging to the economy to be considered, how are tariffs then a credible threat? They harm the economy too. In fact, it is essentially the same harm one way or the other.
Trump is being duplicitous here...or trying to extricate himself from a situation of his own making. The damage here amongst his base is significant.
But the worst of it is that our policy on the border and on immigration/migration is being established by Mexico City. We are more fearful of economic impact than they are. Our fear renders us impotent in the face of their stronger will. Are we really just a colony of Mexico? They set the policy and we are not strong enough to challenge it. Who is the strong one and who is the weak one here.
This is by far the most destructive action taken during the Trump presidency. The ramifications may reverberate around the world...and certainly the Deep State and George Soros are energized by this.
Yeah, starting to see a pattern of threatening to do things, then not following through. If it doesn’t stop, it will damage his base. Starting with me.
