Campaigning is done. Time for the bad news.

Biden got Mexico to send the same # of troops without the threats and posturing.

As it turns out, you can work WITH people and not be an a$$hole about everything.

What did he give them?

I'm sure these hard left leaders were going to just volunteer their assistance.

I don't know.... respect?  General civility?

Yes, I'm sure they agreed just because he was a nice guy. Even you aren't that stupid.

Apparently Canada was all set to do all that prior and had briefed Homan weeks before. So all that and Trump got basically nothing extra. We'll get some higher oil prices and maybe less in our portfolios. Mexico sent as many troops to the border when Biden just asked. Not that any of it will have the slightest impact on fentanyl availability. What a deal maker.

Yeah I’d imagine Canada was going to do that had Kamala gotten in to office.

If she asked they probably would. Now does she care enough to ask? Probably not. I didn't vote for the idiot. Is it going to make any real difference in America's opiate problem? Nah. That being said you don't make it easy so I support the process planned. In the end though if there's demand it will be satisfied. Demand is dropping and if there are policies that can continue that trend that is where the main focus needs to be. It works for illegals too. Sure you control your borders. But they will come if it pays. No jobs and no benefits then they won't come or stay.

Oh, do we? I know your stupidity, your irrational hatred of Trump, and your pathological need to kneel and suck the democrat party.

20k Federal employees have already accepted trump's buyout, 1k EPA Climate Change employees fired, deport flights to Gitmo have started, but the best news today is Bill Cassidy M.D. is going to vote yes for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

What a great job President Donald J. Trump has been doing.

So you think someone stupid, a pathological liar, insane, and a drug abusing drug pusher should be in charge of public health? What do you think will be the result of decreased access to and use of vaccinations? I think it will lead to outbreaks and ultimately to disability and deaths that haven't occurred in the US in decades. I'm not looking forward to seeing diseases I've never seen in decades of medicine. What do you think the moronic loon will bring to the table to make up for some dead and permanently disabled babies?

We could take Trump's IQ points, subtract your IQ points, and still be left with a genius.  

A stable genius, at that.

Irrational hatred of Trump?  I don't hate him.  I just acknowledge what he is - a narcissistic, low-IQ d-bag with a 3rd grade vocabulary.

[3rdgensooner]

Now c'mon. He has at least a 6th grade vocabulary. Possibly even junior high level. NOT GOOD!

As compared to you? The treasonous democrats? Ok. You've been acknowledging it over and over for years. When the f*ck do you come to terms with it?

[Soupcity Kid]

So far, wins over:

Denmark
Panama
Mexico
Canada
Hamas

Soon the EU then Ukraine/Russia. What a refreshing feeling it is to have authentic leadership with the US and the World's best interest in hand.

It is great to have "wins" over allies friendly to us. Hope it works out in the long run. And I don't think the Hamas thing was a win. Israel wasn't done effing them up.
In case anyone is getting the wrong impression I'm supportive of most of what's going on. Some is too ham fisted and some is insane.
Deportations and remain in Mexico? Applying for asylum outside the US? Closure of USAID? All for them. Reducing bureaucracy and regulation? Go.  Stopping the leftist culture appropriations and mandates? Fun stuff.
But why not see if our allies will cooperate without beating them into line because we're the biggest kid on the block? Especially given what we're trying to force them to do will likely fail to have a meaningful effect.
Cabinet positions for departments we do need should be staffed with competent people who will be able to improve the functioning of those aspects of government. Not bomb throwers and people not qualified except they kissed the ring. The Democrats nominated are insane choices.

First I would guess this is as close you would ever get to giving Trump a compliment.

Second you use the term friends allies?  Let's see friends who allow anyone to cross over their border to come to the US?  Friends who allow illicit drugs to flow through the border killing about 100 k US citizens per year.  Friends who would have trade deficits in the billions equivalent to someone saying to you I will trade you this shiny new Josh Naylor card for the Babe Ruth rookie card.

I would imagine the missiles he lobbed into Somalia yesterday morning was a message sent to our non allies letting them know what  awaits them.  Last time our actions against Iran by killing Gen Solomani and tanking the price of oil had them broke.  So he does have a recordagainst our adversaries.

As far as our ability to enforce the border I remember just a few months back the federal govt sued Texas for trying to enforce it's border lol.  FOrusto control our border with physical resources it would be quite more costly.

Just so you’re aware, trade deficits don’t mean anything. 

I think being demanding is a valid strategy in some cases, but I don’t understand why Trump would impose tariffs on Canada, saying there was nothing they could do to stop them, just to negotiate with them two days after the fact. Why not give them the demands to front and let them respond before making allies angry for no reason.

Who said he did not give them the demands during the transition phase?
