Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

The pretzels people will twist themselves into rather than face factsbis amazing.
Why wouldn’t he do that then?
Trump got rolled.
DON'T TELL HIM!
Canada can avoid this by not dealing at all. Will they?
Pathetic.

It's like they went in with a really stupid BATNA.

“Asked for additional commnet on Trump’s call with Trudeau, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “Canada is bending the knee, just like Mexico.””

I'm not disputing that Trump got rolled and that this is all stupid, but it's not clear if it's truly fake (the troops already being there) or if it's just the futile addition of some new bodies.
Yup Trudeau played him for the fool he is this is from December
What a deal
Outcome is obvious: he'll threaten tariffs or other bluster and when you don't budge he'll invent a reason post hoc to back down. Only loss is to American credibility.
Just a shot in the dark here... maybe if they had some kinda of health care and you know a liveable wage there wouldn't be so many people needing to "find" away to you know break the law.
I maybe wrong OR not
Trump's a schmuck.
Of course on Newsmax and at the WH press conferences, it will be ballyhoo'd as a great success, an example of Trump's "get tough" policies working. 🙄
(Canadian, here.)
CO: Turns away Military planes of people in chains.
Trump: TARIFFS!
CO: OK, WE WILL DO TARIFFS TOO!
Trump: Okay, We will not chain the people.
CO: That is all we asked.
Trump: Columbia folded!
Will work for maple syrup & poutine.
Or avocados. I'm easy.
Starting a tariff war with China could lead to even more dead people once the Chinese react with holding back chemicals.
Wait...
Trump communicated or hinted to Mexico that this could be pushed off with a fake concession. Mexico knows Trump is producing a reality show and they’re playing along
trump has no clue, his advisors have no clue....bullies in the sandbox ate some sand today.
the idea that "Trump was rolled" will not make it into the MAGA cult
Like “sending the army” into California to release/waste water
Where is the tariff revenue to offset the tax breaks for the rich.
Then we have the richest man on the planet dropping the hammer on the poorest people on the planet.
Two bullies were made for each other.
Do they have 15,000+10,000+10,000 troops there? If it's "ADDITIONAL", what are 35,000 troops doing? (This is double the entire CBP southern border patrol agent)

Rest of world sick and tired of your country's manufactured dramas by freaks and voted for by sub educated. Real and important issues to deal with.
Trump: 25% tariffs, Mexico.
Sheinbaum: Okay. How about we reduce the number of troops defending US border by 5000?
Trump: Deal!
This is how casinos go bankrupt, and how Trump makes America look like it's run by a dumbass.
"Wanna be a czar?
"Grandma was Russian... What kind of czar?"
"Fentanyl, google it..."
"Oh, alright, sure..." 🤣
You can choose not to believe their journalists' reporting based on your feelings about their ownership if you like, but it won't change the facts on the ground.
Exceptions to the Rule
Despite the rule, less used of things that are countable is standard in many contexts, and in fact is more likely than fewer in a few common constructions, especially ones involving distances (as in "less than three miles") . . .
BTW I'm going full grammar pedant here because the alternative is to engage with the actual disaster that is happening!
HELP CANADA 🇨🇦!

for... less money.
George: I was wrong, you were right.
Jerry: You know, the basic idea of negotiation, as I understand it, is
to get your price to go... up.
George: You're smart, I'm dumb.
Jerry: You know, this is how they negotiate in the bizarro world.
The art of another dumb deal
Art of the deal.
All the MAGAs are chirping ... "WINNING"!
They're so easily conned.
Nobody wants a trade war, but others may finish what he started. New trade partnerships coupled with a tarnished human rights reputation is quickly changing the US/China algorithm.
Good on you Mexico.
Clearly a better negotiator than the Felon.
Those who consume FOX News believe it as truth. They get fooled by the word “News.”
Dumb MF*er!!
Ah hahahahahahahahahahahaha
He can't reason properly.
He will sell this country and not know what he did.
The orange one has been lying for last 40 years.
No evidence he's metamorphosed into a truth teller.
HOW ??

Which would include all of the guns smuggled out of the US as well as basically all of the legal sales.
which means they are rotating troops in and out lol

Donny backed down by accepting what was already in place.
They called him “a big stwong boy! Awent you a big, big stwong boy!! Wook at how stwong you awe, you big boy!!”
It’s pitiful how stupid the USA is. And how useless popular news is at their alleged job.
Instead, they turned you round and said 'ok, well fuck you too then' and Trump is caving.
He's a school yard bully.
They’re still kissing the ring.
magical way to make it appear on the propaganda channels maga watches.
