He can lecture all he wants since half his country is illegally living in the US and their reparations from gov. freebies are second GNP to oil.

POTUS Trump is putting American interests ahead of foreign interests within our own borders. NOT America First on the world stage. Did I express that correctly?

yes and PDJT often says at his rallies and in speeches at international forums that he expects the leaders of other countries to put their own countries first.

‘America First’ is a fallacy because until the end of times, even beyond national borders, justice and universal fraternity will prevail.”

WTF does that even mean???

The mexo prez is a commie, globalist, narco-loving, corrupt fool. Nothing new. Every time this pathetic nitwit mouths off, up the tariff a few percent. Also, put a 50% tax on monies sent by the illegals to that sh**hole country. Stop pussy-footing with these disgusting criminals and the criminal invaders.

The tariff just got 5% higher.

Notice how tariffs are the only thing the world's dictators, depots and scam artists pay attention to. Everything else is BS.

By what mechanism does a tariff hurt any US workers or the economy in general?

“America First” is not a fallacy for Americans and Trump.

Hopefully our President takes this opportunity to clarify exactly what "America First" means.

AMLO seems to imply that it means that Americans must be given greater advantages and rights than anyone else. That's moronic. America First simply means that America's government and politicians and resources should benefit Americans first, and we Americans, as some of the most generous and helpful people in world history are then free help others across the globe as we wish, as we have done for literally centuries. The idea that non-Americans should be given preferential treatment by American laws is just laughable, and has never been a feature of any nation's laws in world history.
