Good one! Now if I were post that on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc., I’d probably get warned or banned.

That way Trump doesn’t get a win or respect. So clever.

Must be true if the news source is in the City of San Fransicko, land of the piles of feces on sidewalks and illegals’ contagious diseases spreading to derelicts and school children./s

“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”

Move along folks nothing to see here go back to your homes

“consists largely of actions that Mexico
had already promised to take in prior
discussions with the United States”

Yep, that’s why the Mexican envoy
arrived at the steps of the White

announced the tariffs ultimatum.

Mexico scoffed at Trumps’ requests
made previously.
Mexico was pinched between cartels
and potentually failing economy.

What are these two pixies talking about? WHEN was Mehico planning on holding these “discussions? Once every latino south of the border was safely in the U.S. and the border patrol had changed all their kids’ diapers?

‘Consists largely of’ ..... in other words, the deal included other things we wanted, that the Mexicans weren’t prepared to give originally and now have agreed to include.
