All of this action by Mexico to aid us has its root in just one area,trade.

The reason Mexico folded so quickly when Trump threatened tariffs is because Mexico violated one of the cardinal rules of business and that is, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. We currently buy 80% of all items Mexico exports and any tariffs would have a huge and immediate impact on Mexico as American importers would quickly find other sources for the goods we import from Mexico which are mainly agricultural.

Thanks for explaining this in a short and succinct way:

Trump is the consummate businessman who knows how to make a deal and knows where and how to apply pressure to get what he wants. He's put tariffs on Chinese goods that has the Chinese howling and he's twisting their arms so far behind their backs they can pick their own noses. He doing the same to Mexico. Mexico is a corrupted society at every level with everyone out for themselves and money is the goal. Tighten the screws on the money flow and they fall into line. GO TRUMP!!
