“On Saturday Trump told his 61 million Twitter followers in an all-caps message that Mexico had agreed to “immediately begin buying large quantities of agricultural product from our great patriot farmers” following the border security deal. He retweeted the message overnight.”
But Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard on Monday said there were no undisclosed parts of the U.S.- Mexico deal. “Outside of what I have just explained, there is no agreement,” Ebrard said at a morning press conference. “It is an immigration agreement, not a commercial one.”
It is possible that both men are accurate. Trump may be referring to something completely different which was not part of this deal, but was agreed upon six months ago, but not yet finalized and/or announced.
Maybe.
Not sure if this is part of the unannounced agreement?
Our presidents have talked about stopping the illegals on the Beast Train for years, but Trump is the first to actually do so.
At least we’ve got the Mexicans to keep us straight on the facts. In Trump’s alleged mind, I bet the “one in particular” is a Big Mac.
So, is Trump lying or befuddled? Or have we stopped caring? I mean, sure, the Republicans in Washington never cared, but what about the rest of us?
