"President Trump tweeted Friday night that a deal had been signed with Mexico to avoid tariffs that were set to start Monday. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo more formally announced the agreement shortly thereafter.

The announcement avoids what economists and Republicans feared would be damaging to the U.S. economy. According to Mexico's foreign minister, the agreement calls for Mexico to deploy its national guard throughout the country, as well as allow migrants to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are adjudicated. The agreement also calls for Mexico to offer jobs, health care and education."

What a historic day. Trump sure is a shrewd businessman. 2.5/8 years in so far and getting historical results at a historical rate. Obama also had historical results in 8 years...he was the President with the least amount of accomplishments.

As an aside, there are many moderates who only vote republican because of their perceived improved understanding of business and directing a great economy. Your side's crazy adoration of tariffs, anti trade, and other such issues is destroying this meme. Good for you...
 
Awesome. So we won’t be hearing any more about the border “crisis” then.

I know that you're being sarcastic here. Yea, Trump will be crying about the wall and the border crisis until election day, every day! I think that republicans have a higher turnout because it's so easy to motivate their voters: the wall, supreme court, prayer in the schools, stop the Mexicans, save us from the Jihadists, drill baby drill, and etc.
 
Yes!!! Mexico caved!!! But there's so much more to the man. Don't sell him short. He deserves the Nobel for his historic rapprochement with the North Koreans. He pulled us out of the Paris Accords, because many people are saying that the climate might well get colder and colder. He has made coal the king of fuels. He has brought huge amounts of outsourced factory jobs back to the U.S. He pushed through a tax plan that made all the other billionaires mad at him. He has educated the American public that the ranks of brown-skinned immigrants are rife with terrorists, rapists, and murderers (the other Presidents didn't tell you that!) He cleared Kim of complicity in the torture of Otto Warmbier, because what's a young Beloved Leader 'spose to do when the underlings run amok; he cleared the Saudi crown prince of complicity in the whack 'n' chop of Jamal Khashoggi, 'cause what's a self-respecting satrap 'spose to do when the sub-sheiks get into mischief with their scimitars; he cleared Putin of messing with our elections because, well, because of the Pee Tape. He has brought the FBI and the Justice Department to a status of unparalleled esteem. On Thursday he gave us proof positive that a great man can multitask anywhere, any time, by calling the recipient of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart a fool just minutes before taking the microphone to honor the D Day warriors. On a purely stylistic note, he has massively expanded the official public vocabulary of the Chief Executive, by creating such phrases as sleepy-eyed son of a bitch, nasty horrible person, dumb as a rock, horseface, low IQ, washed-up psycho, dumbass hillbilly...time-worthy additions to the lexicon which will be commemorated by future generations as Classic Trump. This man is truly one of a kind. Please make him one of a kind.
 
He didn't win anything. He did his usual nonsense. He created a crisis by threatening to put tariffs on Mexican imports. These tariffs would mostly hurt American consumers as the costs would be passed along to the rest of us. His advisers and many Republicans kept telling him that tariffs are a tax on Americans, and they even told him they would block the tariffs with legislation. Mexico made some small promises, like putting more of their own National Guard on their southern borders. So, as usually Trump screams that he's gotten what he wants. In other words, he creates a potential crisis, then backs down and claims that he won. The crisis is over and some people think he's accomplished something great. Most of us are smarter than that.
 
Trump Signs Anemic New Immigration Deal With Mexico


Unless I’m missing something, there’s not much here. The first point is something that Mexico says it’s already been doing for months...

As for the Migrant Protection Protocols, which allow border authorities to return asylum seekers to Mexico while they await a court hearing, they were implemented last December in San Diego, with plans to roll them out across the border over time. So is there anything new here, aside from the fact that Mexico is accepting the program formally, rather than pretending to oppose it while quietly cooperating?

In brief, then: Mexico has agreed to (a) maintain some vaguely defined law enforcement actions and (b) formally accept an American program that they were already cooperating with quietly. That’s it. But it was enough to buy off Trump. He’s a cheap date, I guess.

But Trump doesn’t really care about results anyway. He’ll take to Twitter and describe this agreement as the strongest immigration program ever implemented in history, and the Fox News megaphone will eagerly spread that message to his fans.

The point was that he BLUFFED Mexico and it worked brilliantly. They are cracking down on illegal immigration and helping us now instead of not giving 2 craps.

If Obama did this, you guys would be dancing in the streets saying how Obama is so tough and stood up to Mexico bullying us.

They out-bluffed you and Trump. You and President Twitler fell for it.

You just sound bitter and suffering from TDS. Please don't go crazy like this woman:

https://www.newsweek.com/florida-wo...y-stabs-herself-multiple-times-police-1442687


"At the time, the officers found the woman outside her home with her face, head and legs with blood on them. When an officer asked the woman what happened, she lifted up her shirt to reveal three stab wounds on her abdomen that were still bleeding.

The woman, who has not been named, admitted to the officers that she had stabbed herself because she was "tired of living in Trump country" and was tired of President Donald Trump being in office."

I fear that more and more people with TDS will lose contact with reality over the next 6 years by the time 2024 comes when Trump leaves. How much stress do these anti-Trumpers have inside of them? Can the left even survive until January 2025? Only time will tell.

If Obama can get the peace prize even though his administration dropped 26,000 bombs on other countries in 2016 and bombed a total of 7 countries in 6 years, maybe there's hope for Trump to also be seen as a beacon of peace.
 
Now that the problem has been solved, I'm sure we won't be hearing about it anymore.

Typical lefty. No one said that "it is now over and solved." Only that this is a big step in getting Mexico to finally step up and do something for God's sake. Trump had a 5 of clubs, 3 of diamonds, 7 of spades, and 9 of hearts and Mexico had 4 aces and still lost to Trump.

...
President Donald Trump declared victory in his trade war with Mexico on Friday night, a position that fell apart under New York Times scrutiny on Saturday.
“The deal to avert tariffs that President Trump announced with great fanfare on Friday night consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take in prior discussions with the United States over the past several months, according to officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations,” The Times reported.
...

Propaganda over substance. Trump's MO as usual.

So Mexico agreed to do certain things and then they actually went and did the things they agreed to? And this is some kind of shock to the New York Times? This kind of "shock" must be equivalent to the shock liberals feel when they find out black people owned other blacks as slaves, too.

You can expect a lot more of this as we move towards a Handmaiden's Tale.

The Draft Dodger made a deal, and is selling it as a major victory.

What did we actually get, though?
Seriously, how will we be able to measure their compliance? Head counts of border crossings? Tons of narcotics in the US? How will we know Mexico did not just sweet-talk the Orange Buffoon?
If Obama did this, you guys would be dancing in the streets saying how Obama is so tough and stood up to Mexico bullying us.
Um, what Mexico bullying?

You wouldn't be trying to fear monger, would you? Man, everything is a big conspiracy according to the left! In a Handmaid's tale, women are forced to be raped and are banned from reading and working. Nowhere in America is a woman forced to be raped by the government, banned from reading, or working. Do you guys ever step foot outside?
