Mexican Tariff threat worked Bigly

The Mexicans have agreed to enforce their southern border, crack down on human traffickers, and allow the US to return Central Americans to Mexico for processing of refugee claims. This will not only slash the number of illegal immigrants, it will end Catch and Release. Rather than being forced to keep illegals in the US, we can quickly return them to Mexico.
If the Mexicans fail to do this, tariffs will kick back in in 90 days. That would crush the Mexican economy.

"Democrats were more skeptical that Trump had achieved anything. “Crawling back off the limb and, predictably, declaring victory,” tweeted David Axelrod, President Obama’s former political advisor."

WTF. Fucking Anti-American libtard pukes.
So jaded and blinded by jealousy and hate.
Duh
Why are the Democrat's representing Mexico?
Fucking libtards always want something for nothing.
And Iran, whose economy has collapsed, making it difficult for them to continue funding terrorist groups in Syria, Yemen, and Gaza.
And China, where there are signs of economic trouble, reducing their ability to impose their regional power.
George Bush and Barack Obama used the military, Donald Trump is using Tariffs and Sanctions. Far more effective and less costly in terms of American lives.
China will not back down, and will fall further into economic collapse. People will revolt, and our supply lines will increase through Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and other SE Asian countries. China needs the US more than we need them, so they will play with Russia but our technology will surpass theirs.
Anyway, by the time Trump serves out his second term China will be willing to negotiate out if necessity and a Democratic administration will try to take all of the credit, like they have always done.
These tarrifs are only showing the rest of the world they need us.
The results of the Mexico negotiations may be a with for Trump. Or Mexico may make some token efforts and things will basically stay the same, like the North Korea “win” where Kim is basically where he was before all the brouhaha but with a lower likelihood of sanctions. We’ll know in about six months in the case of Mexico, when everybody has stopped paying attention.
But the thing that interests me is why you (mark94) feel compelled to discuss Trump’s brilliance so much. Unlike flagooner, who is largely trying to rile people up, you seem sincere.
Here’s the reality: none of us know what’s really going on behind the scenes. Maybe you’re 100% right and Trump is solving previously intractable problems. Or maybe it is all smoke and mirrors. Who knows? But why spend so much time obsessively justifying his moves? It is just that you seem inordinately obsessed with explaining how brilliant those strategies are to a message board for deviants. Why?
I realize that posting about politics may not be what many on this board may want. If so, please click the ignore button for me. If there weren’t an ignore function, I probably wouldn’t post about politics. I’ve put others on ignore who use this forum for purposes that I don’t enjoy. The ignore button is a beautiful thing.
...good thing because fruitcups would have been significantly more expensive.
The thing that does interest me is motivations of individuals. For example, I think flagooner just likes to rile people up and doesn’t care exactly what he posts. For all we know he could be a (gasp!) progressive getting some laughs by posting pro-Trump material to stir the pot. Ok, I doubt that that the case, but I am amused by the idea that flagooner is actually a woke 21-year old with white-boy dreadlocks and three hobbies: playing hacky sack, smoking “loser leaf,” and getting conservatives on a strip club web site riled up! ;)
But I have always pictured your motivations differently. Like I said, you seem sincere. My suspicion has been that you embraced orthodox neocon positions but when Trump ran he spoke to you at a personal level. This made you want to like Trumpism despite being skeptical. So you are actually debating with yourself regarding Trump’s heterodox policy positions.
Ronald Reagan was such a leader. To my surprise, the orange salesman from Brooklyn is showing signs he may also be such a leader. For all his personal flaws, he is our best hope for reversing this nation’s decline.
If I were President Trump, I'd tell Mexico, the very second WE decide you are not doing what you said you would, the tariffs go into effect, but DOUBLED!
