Avocados are ready to be smashed for Super Bowl parties, as President Donald Trump said Mexico agreed to his terms to help secure the border.
Here’s what Trump wrote on TruthSocial at 10:41 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday:
“I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a ‘deal’ between our two Countries.”
The agreement delays the announced 25% tariffs that were to take effect on Tuesday.
Vice President JD Vance stated the obvious with this comment on X: “For three days a lot of the far left has actively rooted against America and argued we’d get nothing out of President Trump’s demands that Mexico secure its country. Well, how do you like them apples?”
During the Biden Administration, more than 8 million illegals were “encountered” coming over the border from Mexico, and many millions went un-encountered as Biden sought to flood the United States with illegals and change the national electoral map by adding more illegal population to border states of Arizona and Texas. Trump’s mandate from voters is to secure the U.S. borders.
The 25% tariff on Canadian goods is still set to go into effect on Tuesday. Last week, Canada Foreign Minister Melanie Joly met with three Senate liberal Democrats and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski when she was in Washington, D.C. Murkowski, a Republican, is seen as a leader in the anti-Trump movement among Democrats, and Joly was shoring up support for Canada’s resistance to President Trump’s demands that fentanyl and illegal aliens stop pouring across the northern border. Murkowski did not advertise the visit with Joly, who posted a photo of the meeting on her own official X page.
On Sunday, Panama said it will not renew its “Belt and Road” contract with China, and this weekend Venezuela released Americans it had held in captivity.
Do ya think Donald Trump just pulled this plan out of his hat on a wing and a Prayer? This President is a Patriot first and a very savvy businessman second. WELL DONE MR. PRESIDENT, WELL DONE♥️??♥️??
Recap: Trump announces tariffs. Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts and boo us at events. Markets nosedive and Donald caves to both Mexico and Canada. Those countries can’t be bullied like Venezuela. Finally, right wing media thinks he’s Churchill.
Yeah. Plus, Mexico already had more than 10000 troops along their border
Nothing is going to change. Just the liar trump trying save face, be a wannabe bully. I can’t even say he’s a bully anymore because for that to happen, others have to fear him. He scares nobody. Lol
Send all 80,000 new IRS agents to the border, with guns. Take the illegal’s money at the border and turn them around. No further questions asked. Pancho Vias and Montezuma would concur.
That’s cool Greg.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to immediately send 10,000 soldiers to her country’s border, she didn’t say they were there or they were already on the way, she said she’d send them there immediately. That’s quite the change, about 10,000 Mexican soldiers worth of change.
Must have been their southern border, because they sure as s*** were not doing anything on their northern border.
If anyone asks What is wrong with Alaska Just tell them “Murkowski” And they will understand
Now what does Canada have to pretend to do so Trump can declare victory? Trump blinked on Mexico. BTW, Mexico sent 15,000 troops to the border in 2019. Fox News June 24, 2019.
Canada will remain.He has to save a little face after all. I think with canada, it’s something personal because trudeau turned him down into becoming the fifty first state. Trump views canadians as something that is weak and easily manipulatable.
boy do you pivot fast, Greg. It sure is a good thing you are retired, not teaching kids anymore, and are not in charge of our economy, border or foreign relations.
What pivot? Wall Street tanked
Trump caved. End of story.
I WAS A SHOP TEACHER FOR 18 MONTHS. Lol. Biden got Mexico to deploy 10000 troops once. REMEMBER??? it didn’t take tanking the stock market to do it.
Shop teacher, 18 months. wow. I would not be bragging on that. Tanking the stock market? Let’s see, Forkner, it was 42,600 on Jan. 6 and it was 44,000 on Feb. 3. So how did he tank the stock market exactly? I’ll wait.
Look at yesterday.
Best 18 months ever.
Lot of shop teachers out in the village huh Greg?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
Interesting how just the other day, tariffs were going to accomplish nothing except higher prices. Now, other countries are capitulating. And, you think it is pretending.
.
Interesting how you notice Mexico used their troops to secure their side of the border under the first Trump administration. When did they pull their troops back and let the border go to hell? Feel free to ignore that question (like I realistically expected an answer) because it will destroy your narrative.
It was Biden who asked them.
Yeah. Greenland is lining up military support from France and Denmark is asking the EU for help., sounds passive to me.
You fell for it. Trump did nothing. He signed a paper, people laughed at him, then he tore it up claiming mission accomplished. Sleep easy people, a madman has the launch codes.
Just ripped up a $68000000 contract with Musk. Made it illegal to do business with American companies. I guess trump is going to pay the increase in electricity bills in the NE.
Greg, you’re all forked-up.
In foreign relations, passivity is no virtue.
BTW, who is the real president of Mexico?
Good. Guacamole back on for Sunday. Go Chiefs.
Thank you Donald Trump. There, I said it for you.
No problem. I was making a chili rellonoe casserole already. I’m good.
The art of the deal, well played sir.
More completely, Trump bit off more than he could chew, and pleaded with Mexico to give me something, ANYTHING, I can use that removes egg. He misrepresented Panamas China threat, and Canada has less of an impact on American economy with their tariffs. Baby steps Mr president, baby steps.
Stop with your infant mentality. Trump has given Mexico president 1 month to deploy 10,000 troops to the border to help stop illegals and fentynal.
As another commenter stated, thank God you are not allowed near children to poison there minds with your incoherent drivel.
So you didn’t listen the the president of Mexico. Your attention span is lacking.
It is AMAZING how you, and you alone can get this inside information. Absolutely mind boggling.
Yeah. I could tell you but….well, you know.
You are correct. I do know.
You make BS up out of whole cloth. And, you do it on a regular basis.
Is there a way to recall the turncoat, Murkowski?
No.
She got re-elected four times. Even if its due to cheating, she is nevertheless quite invincible. Why would a recall be different?
Senators can’t be recalled, voting them out or impeachment are the only ways to remove them.
WELL look at that greg & frank!
TRUMP was right AGAIN!
Happy Monday boys!
Being blocked again. Ugggg!
How can you say you are blocked when keep seeing you. Are you delusional? Your delusion about how bad Trump is must have destroyed your brain.
I’m on an approved post list
It is slow at times. Suzanne has a day job you know. I said something one time against the commander and thief. The rest is history
You should be. MRAK can you please put a muzzle on this?
Debate is why we are here and is encouraged. It grows the channel.
You have stretched the workload too much, Greg. You are in time out for a while. Sorry – sd
I agree Suzanne he’s got Trump derangement syndrome real bad !!
I’m not really sure what you’re crowing about. This has all been pretty predictable. Trump doesn’t have any stones. He’s just a bully. Bullies aren’t a real threat as long as you don’t let them scare you. Trump learned along with the help from Wall Street that we can’t live without Mexico because they feed us.
It’s puzling that he’s just now finding this out, but his thinking is about 30 or 40 years behind The Times
I think he needs to take a brush up course on American economics. Nothing has really changed other than the border remains open, and we have two armies staring each other down like a couple of roosters in a cockfight.
File this Greg gem under comments that didn’t age well. Like so many of his.
Nope. That’s my story…..
.
“This has all been pretty predictable.”
Yet, you did not predict it.
With all the Fentanyl related deaths in Alaska and in the villages, I’m perplexed why Murkowski is voting against these actions. When one sells their soul I guess this is what happens.
Because President Trump wants them.
People like Murkowski do not need any other reason.
Is that trump’s plan to kill off all the opposition votes?
Kill off opposition by stopping the flood of deadly drugs?
Explain how that is supposed to work.
Do you have any statics on this or is it repeating speculation? The WH said “Ten’s of millions of deaths from fentanyl when the number of all drug deaths is closer to 1.5 million. Not good of course but we should at least know what the scope of the problem is. Also highly doubt the Canadian border is the place where it is coming through.
Don is such a card.
Murkowski is a pox on the US and, especially, in Alaska. Trump said he would use tariffs to get Mexico an Canada to help stop illegal drug smuggling and illegal aliens running into our country and that is what he is doing. Schumer hasn’t had any success doing anything positive for the country, ever, and he is proving what an idiot he is with his grand standing on the senate floor.
America is back
Oh look.
Tariffs are an effective negotiation tool. They do more than just raise prices. They can actually benefit the USA.
.
All those that bought into the MSM narrative were just served a healthy helping of sit down.
You are exactly right, son, trump learned He can’t afford a tariff with mexico.
You really are special. You don’t seem to understand economics. Combined Canada and Mexico equate to 5% of US imports. The exporting country absorbs the tariffs not the importing country.
Make ir real easy for you. 3.00 item, then 3.00 item with 10% tariff makes the item 3.03, iguess an old substitute teacher can’t handle a .3 cent increase.
We import half of our food from Mexico. Stay with me….our companies buy that food and pay the tax to our government. Still here? OK. Companies jack the price to cover the higher cost. Other companies not effected raise their prices too because they are greedy. Companies buy less because everyone went broke. Can’t afford the high food. Selling country stops selling because nobody has money to buy. Inflation is runaway.so it never works. Country gets tariffs for a while, grower gets money for a while and consumer gets the shaft.
It is the importer who pays the tariffs in out country. Honestly son, just stop. Sheeeesh.
This is really embarrassing for you and all the other readers.
I know.
They way he dropped the tariffs after the Mexican Government capitulated to his demands. It was an obvious admission of gross incompetence. I am sure President Trump will never take any action like that again.
He won’t for sure. Musk has been told to put on him if he tries.
He did nothing
You are so gullable.
Before tariff threat, no Mexican effort at border. After threat, Mexico agreed to assist at border. Seems like it was Mexico that did the learning…. that the USA is no longer led by idiotic puppet masters.
You see it your way
Trump screwing you 401K over ego is something else
It will rebound in the quarter 2 like it did in his first term when he imposed tariffs.
Maybe since he backed away from tariffs.
They are paused for 30 days, still in full effect unless either country defers on said agreement with Trump. Then 25% to start.
Omg MRAK, you will drive traffic away letting this person control your comments.
Wall street, just about slapped him silly when he did it.
This is an Amazing Presidency, I have never seen so much progress being. Made in such a short period of time, and he doesn’t even have his cabinet in place.
Loose cannon.
What has he done except jack his jaw? Nothing…….
Wake me up when they shut down the h1b program. 2 million Americans graduate with a stem degree every year and cannot find work because of scab labor
Simply, trump over stepped. He lacks tact. His rage filled rants is reminiscing some of Musilinis. America has gotten too big for its britches. Other country has us (trump) figured out. Listen to Canada and mexico leadership
That how real people govern.
Lacks tact ? He just uses a sledge hammer on them until it’s exposed and then all the folks can see what the issue was . Did you know that most of the Canadian pipelines dip down into the US ? I bet not . People know now . Where you offended when a sheet of plywood went from ten dollars at Home Depot to sixty , I bet not . I bet you did not even know what a sheet of plywood cost ? I like his hammer attack’s on the corrupt governments . We’re you aware that US ships were provided free passage through the Panama Canal with the original agreement? My bet is not . Panama and the Chinese that have running the canal , just got there butts kicked yesterday by an immigrant kid from Florida who speaks the language . Maybe in the liberal mindset , that would be worth noting that we have the first Spanish speaking Secretary of State , media does report this .
Ha!!!! Now Trump just caved on the Candian tariffs. Once again, he is too big for his britches. It took or neighbors to give him a spanking before realizing through wall street, he at risk of screwing up a 2.8 inflation rate. He is so out of touch. He needs to stfu, and let the most qualified run the country. It ain’t him?
TDS has ruined so many people…
You’ve changed
She must have read The Art of the Deal, over the weekend.
At least she sounded presidential unlike the imbecile barker we have.
Very interesting tactic by DJT . He clobbered Canada and we find out their pipelines dip down into the US . Probably because they could not get an agreement with indigenous native tribes . Interesting to note , 90% of the population of Canada is living within 20 miles of the US Border .
When the cost of Plywood went from ten dollars a sheet to sixty dollars , didn’t hear to much complaining from Media . We were really getting really screwed by Canada . Now a possiblevfourteen percent increase from proposed tariff , every one in media is crowing about it like the world is coming to an end . 14% of a twenty dollar sheet of plywood is less than three dollars . That’s about what the sales tax is in most states , but Ak . I’ll gladly pay that to expose how corrupt the Canadian Govt is and get them on the TrumpTrain .
Interesting that the new administration is throwing so much at the old liberal agenda , they can’t keep up . The democrats are now witnessing subterfuge on steroids . The democrats used this successfully the last sixteen years to distract everyone . That’s why Obama changed the name of MtMckinley , just to divide and distract . I don’t care what it’s called and the Denali Highway will always be the “ Denali Highway “ . No one bitching the most would never even know what or where that road is?
Call me a conspiracy theorist, how does a lady with a clearly Jewish name become president of Mexico . My guess is we ( the CIA) installed her for the cartels ? Maybe that’s why she’s clearly getting the bull by the horns ! Laughable when Trevor world politics with the light gets to the shade ! Love it and it’s getting brighter by the day . 75 miles from the arctic circle , we’re getting 1 hour of sun above the horizon every nine days in the next 36 days , pretty soon the light will hurt your eyes l
She’s a Mexican Jew. They exist, and nothing is wrong with that.
Trump is looking for a big hole to crawl into. Caught in embellishments on the fake tariffs, and his empty threats of taking over Panama and Greenland, he has become the laughing stock of the planet. Even the aliens are laughing at him. Now he has given President Musk the keys to the safe. He is also picking a fight with South Africa doing Musks bidding. Why isn’t he bad mouthing Lil Kim, Putin, China and Iran? Now, those players are onto us. The emperor has no teeth. We are weakened and vulnerable because of this madman. Border crossings were lower under Biden than anytime under Trump 1.0 excluding the Covid era. Trump has done nothing, nothing to make America Great Again. We already were great. All he did was weaken a great leader among the world’s country’s. Congratulations maga. You suck!
It was hard to read the comments here without tripping over all the piles of Forkner.
Jeezus, Greg, give your maniacal Trump Derangement Syndrome a rest already!
It is interesting how hard he is trying to convince himself that President Trump did not get one in the W column here.
What is it therapists say? “Who are you trying to convince, Greg? Me or your?”
37 out of 79 comments here were from Greg Forkner.
Now that is trolling by any definition.
Suzzanne should investigate the serious connection he has with Hillary. She’s gotta be bankrolling that troll.
