He made a U-Turn, an incredibly big one. Last week he was explicit about closing the border this week if Mexico didn’t immediately stop all illegal traffic. His words, his tweets. It is gracious to say u-turn.
It is simply impossible to “immediately stop all illegal traffic”. Mexico started doing something finally, so Trump did act on his threat so far. To call this a U-turn is inane.
He was probably told about the Tariff option, which won’t do that much damage to our own economy and have the MSM showing it every night!
