Mexico Relented on Border Long Before Trump's Deal
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 8, 2019 | Michael D. Shear and Maggie Haberman

Trump’s decision to use trade as a bludgeon against Mexico was driven in part by his obsession with stopping what he falsely calls an invasion of the country

I can’t tell fact from opinion any more........

It reminds me of the old joke - A little girl falls into the lion exhibit at the zoo. Trump jumps in and punches the lion in the face and saves the girl.

Media - Trump assaults African immigrant and steals his lunch.

Ah. Of course. And Hillary had already conceded the 2016 Presidential election before Donald Trump even announced his candidacy. Thank you, city-on-the-earthquake for the usual liberal spin.

Trump wanted to make sure they mean it and will abide by it, rather than rush an announcement and have them back out.

It was only prudent.

Sure. That’s why we had tens of thousands of border jumpers in the last month.

I believe that’s originally a NY Times article, probably reprinted by the SF rag. If what the article says is true, it seems like the measures identified in the agreement would already be in effect.

“consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take”

So.. if you’re gonna lie, you might as well make it a big one.

Mexico apparently missed the point about action speaking louder than words, or Pres. Trump would not have had to threaten them with punitive actions.

So why did Mexico continue to allow immigrants to arrive from the Congo, and then proceed to the US border?

And who was paying for all those transatlantic flights?

Why are postings for this screed even relevant?

The hill is carrying this BS as well. Problem is Trump would never have done the tariff thing if the Mexicons were doing the right thing at their Southern border.Obvously, they weren’t. We are being plagued with either half stories or total ignoring of news by the mockingbird drivebys over and over.

“actions that Mexico had already promised to take “
But hadn’t- that’s key.

It’s so surreal watching all the media report the same negative comments at the same time. It’s like some talking points are generated by some left wing group against Trump. The taking points are disseminated from somewhere and then get picked up in all the news outlets.

I really appreciate Rush showing me how the news media works a few years ago. I wish more sheeple would pick up on this but I guess that won’t happen.

From the leading newspaper in a city where people are permitted to openly crap on the sidewalk; its articles are about the same quality as what they leave behind.

If a NYT article has Maggie Haberman's name on it you can be assured it will not be news. Prolly Fake News.
