I have been wondering what concessions Trump actually wants from Mexico, given that Mexico is already doing much of what Trump has publicly demanded (i.e., intercepting more migrants before they reach the US-Mex border). This helps provide an answer. - ThreadSky

NEW find from @crew.bsky.social: Donald Trump recently applied for a trademark for a potential Trump Tower in Mexico, which means upcoming policy negotiations with Mexico must be considered in light of how they could give his business leverage.

It's *ALWAYS* about the money

The rest of all his yapping is just bullshit

Just call John Barron, or David Dennison, they'll tell you what's what with the orange felon

Quid pro quo, all over again.

There’s always a grift, isn’t there?

In most countries, trademark applications are a fairly automatic process that don’t require involvement by the higher ups in government.

Mexico’s president is female, Jewish, and brown.

He wants to acknowledge that they are sending crime, rapists and some good people, and also pay for the big beautiful wall, and also become the 51st state

He doesn't need any concessions. He needs to be able to claim they made concessions and, therefore, he was successful in forcing them to do so.

He’s a blow hard bullshitter, analyzing what he says is like trying to decipher the rantings of a schizophrenic.

Why? I don’t understand these lads that just keeping “working” until they drop. How much is enough?

holliwinters57.bsky.social•172 days ago

Well, I guess bombing Mexico is out of the question now for Trump. lol

Now, after lessons learned in his first go round (no one will enforce any of the ethical or legal constraints surrounding the presidency), they aren't even going to try to hide the grifting. It's going to be proud and in the open. And, given the SCOTUS immunity decision, maybe openly criminal.
