Don the con omitted what he promised
“One noteworthy difference in Sheinbaum's readout versus Trump's is that she said the U.S. agreed to prevent guns from getting trafficked into Mexico whereas Trump doesn't mention that part of their deal.”

Don the con said yesterday that nothing could stop these tariffs. Nothing.
Dumb or lying?
Why not both?

Mexico did this exact same thing to Trump in 2019. Trump put tariffs on for 6 days then pulled them when Mexico told them they would “work harder” at whatever Trump was belly aching about.
This time, Trump folded within hours to a woman President.
What is a woman?

Hey genius. She agreed to move 10,000 Mexican soldiers. Mexican soldiers notoriously work for the cartels. Donald just made their smuggling operations more efficient.
You guys really are as dumb as advertised.
We need to realize that this is part of the smoke screen that obscures all the criminal activity. The "anti-corruption" prezidente is allowing unelected, non security clearanced people access to the most sensitive financial data of the country. Couple that with Musk having huge financial dealings in China and other US adversaries.
Trump & associates have fired nearly everyone high up in government who do oversight to make sure the law is being followed.
They have cut off US foreign aid and and the funding of several government departments and asked 2M people to quit on the promise of a liar. He does not have authority to do any of this because Congress controls the budget. So far, not much protest from the republican Congress/Senate so they are quietly giving the country away. If they continue silence too long, all the ability to stop this illegal corruption will be gone.
Tarrifs may be a negotiating tactic, a real plan, or just a smoke screen. Trump's messaging is very obscure and intentionally so. The underlying message to US allies is that he is a loose cannon that cannot be trusted. His message to Americans is that their livelihoods are subject to his whim of the day.

Elon is saving the country a $1 billion per day. Joe Biden was sleeping on the beach for much of his presidency.

"Please be respectful of the opinions of other posters."
Why the downvotes - you do want a modicum of decorum here, yes?
People are utilizing downvotes because the majority of the antagonistic, denigrating posts found within this long-term discussion have been authored by MAGA zealots.

I guess libs here are just used to their President doing nothing and not doing positive things for Americans like Trump.
Buckle up, boys. It’s going to be a glorious next four (or more years) under Trump.

You are right. What the press is covering and causing us to talk about is always much less harmful compared to what Trumps team is doing to our country behind the scenes.
The big difference between Trump 1.0 and 2.0 is the capability of the people Trump has doing his demolition and the lack of guardrails to check his power this time.

I have been rather busy lately, so please enlighten me: how many of the January 6th "protestors" that he pardoned have subsequently been arrested for something else?
I think that the count is currently up to four (and rising). but it has only been two weeks.

“So I plead [with] President Trump to exempt potash from the tariff because family farmers get most of our potash from Canada,” Mr. Grassley wrote.
Promises made. Promises kept. Poor cow-f*ckers in Iowa keep on losing.

A lot of liberals (the intelligent ones, at least) are supportive of most of Trump’s policies. Others will come around eventually.

Do have any idea how many New Englanders and Canadians are now going to be stopped cold from getting into Mexico (bound for Central and South America) ??

No. Liberals (especially the intelligent ones) are not supportive of Trump's policies. It's not even clear if Trump is supportive of his policies, based on issuing and rescinding an executive order within 24 hours. It's far more likely that Republicans realize how big of a mistake they made when inflation hits 8% and the S&P is under 4000. I'm sure some cultists will still try to blame it on Biden though.

.....although, 4 incomprehensibly LONG years might prove that to be less of a joke than it currently is.
Costa Rica or Trumplandia? Hmmm...... Might get full down there.
