Will's Last act of Collusion in 2019

Our final Inforos column of the year:
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.

Trump's Great Week

Trump unleashes a ferocious, wheremacht style counterattack upon the Dems and the media, breaks their brains, and forces them to talk about Joe and Hunter Biden, and makes them look like morons doing it.

Trump gets US troops out of the way in Syria, forces the Kurds to talk to Assad and turns the Syrians against the Turks. The Levant is Erdogan's problem now.

Trump makes a campaign stop in the Louisiana governor race and forces a runoff.

Trump announces a partial deal in which the Chicoms agree to buy billions in American farm goods, open up their market to American financial services companies, and take steps to protect American intellectual property. All Trump has to do is not race tariffs again. That's it.

By the end of the week Fox's bogus poll showing 51% favoring impeachment was shown to be bogus. The nation is not, repeat not 48% Democrat. And by the way, when a  poll shows that, say 19% of Republicans support impeachment, all that means is 19% of Republicans enjoy fucking with pollsters.*

On Friday Trump was at 49% in the Rasmussen.

Now that's what I call winning.

*Official Stroock policy.
