On the morning of 30 May, Mexican authorities awoke to a Trump tweet declaring he would impose a 5% tariff on Mexican exports to the United States and gradually increase those tariffs to 25% unless the Mexican government took steps to stop the flood of illegal immigrants passing through Mexico to the United States. By the end of the next week Mexico capitulated. President Manuel Obrador deployed thousands of troops to its southern border, agreed to hold migrants in Mexico while they sought asylum in the US and promised to breakup human trafficking networks. Trump wielded the tariff weapon against China...You know the drill.
With bonus cheapshots at Bobby Francis and virtue extolling of Tulsi Gabbard.
