Beto and Bernie blast Trump for deal with Mexico and threatening tariffs
Fox News ^ | June 9, 2019 | Andrew O'Reilly

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke mocked President Trump’s claims of victory in the recent deal reached with Mexico to avert his threatened tariffs – calling the president’s claims “overblown” and arguing that he has hurt the economic ties between Washington and its closest neighbor.

“I think the president has completely overblown what he purports to have achieved. These are agreements that Mexico had already made and, in some case, months ago,” the former congressman from Texas said on ABC’s “This Week.” “They might have accelerated the timetable, but by and large the president achieved nothing except to jeopardize the most important trading relationship that the United States of America has.”

In a series of tweets sent before departing for his golf club in Virginia, Trump defended the deal heading off the 5 percent tax on all Mexican goods that he had threatened to impose Monday, but warned Mexico that, "if for some unknown reason" cooperation fails, "we can always go back to our previous, very profitable, position of Tariffs."

President Trump should be congratulated, not criticized.

Keep it up, dems. I can see that the campaign is going to be all about trashing Trump. Keep thinking that you will win that way, dems.

They’re more upset they weren’t told about the agreement back in October.

Trump should address these Nitwits. The tweet should begin with “Dumb and Dumber think.....”

I’m from Texas, where we had to spend months hearing that “Beto” was a combination of JFK, Elvis and Jesus. Hope the rest of the country now sees what a goober he really is. The one thing he’s an expert at is overblowing achievements. He thinks he was born to be President when his sole achievement in Congress was a bill renaming a post office.

Flailing at its best. Putting a Democrat back in the White House would be suicidal for this country!
