Why all the Orange Man Bad Botten? I mean we all know he is, it just makes you look one dimensional.
Just sit back and watch.
Maybe, just maybe he will come good with a promise and Make 'merica Grate (on your nerves) Again.
All ya politicians are corrupt. They all voted to allow top lvl pollies to be allowed to trade stocks cuz "free trade" none of them wanna give up the free ride.
Trump hasnt emptied the swamp as yet but he does say it. For votes.
Nothing will change really except who can make advantage now.
No one who works a job will make bank.
Same as before.
Relax and quietly laugh. Like me.

I dunno, I’m a repub but this tariff on Mexico confuddles me
His explanation is that it’s due to Mexico’s hands off attitude towards cartels and drugs. I can’t agree that all or even the majority of Mexico officials are secretly shaking hands with cartel bosses. There have been enough high profile cartel killings of local politicians and police. I used to follow a few different cartel news YouTube channels…
Let’s agree with the hypothesis that Mexico hadn’t done enough, what is it to do now? The only thing that would truly curtail cartels is to try the El Salvadoran way, a massive scale crackdown with a temporary halt on due process. And a lot of risks with that:
- Cartels have infinitely more funding, guns, and tech than shithole gangs, will they go so quietly into the night?
- Does Mexico have a prison system large enough to handle that kind of influx assuming they all casually surrendered?
- No due process is pretty corruptible, and technically wrong on its own, but I had little issue with this when El Salvador did it due to the dire straits they were in to justify it
But if not the Lock Em All Up El Salvador approach, what exactly does he want Mexico to do? Unfortunately the Mexican pres is right, collaboration will work better than antagonization. Does Trump want Mexico bussing more Central American migrants to the US border out of spite? Because they will
