Most of the concessions that President Donald Trump extracted from Mexico in exchange for withholding his threatened tariffs were offered months before the most recent showdown, according to the New York Times.
Though Trump is celebrating the deal as a major win for him, Mexico had already pledged to up its national guard presence in March and to rework the asylum policy in December. In fact, Trump’s negotiators failed to get Mexican officials to agree to a “safe third country” policy that would allow the United States to oust asylum seekers who had not first sought refuge in Mexico.
Trump was facing overwhelming disapproval from both parties over his threatened tariffs, with his usually loyal Republican contingent threatening a veto-proof vote to nullify his national emergency declaration out of retribution.
Performance art for the rubes.
Welp…The things the House has in store for Trump next week will fuck with him…whether this particular grift lasted 24 days…
Or 24 hours.
Turns out trump is a phoney.
If only he would resign and call ot a win-win. We will even throw him a parade, before he is indicted.
I can imagine the constant huddles in the White House. “Say this, then say this, no not that” as staff tries to save the WH from being made to look so crooked and stupid.
It’s not working WH.
