  1. Submission Statement: The President’s law of the jungle instincts have clearly not changed. Instead, the only reason I see this happening was the harsh market reaction to an illogical, irrational policy. With Congress and the Supreme Court looking the other way, Wall Street may be the only real check on a rogue executive.

  2. Least surprising update ever. Trump will claim victory in this even though it accomplished absolutely nothing.

  5. > President Donald Trump said that he will pause for one month a new 25% tariff on goods entering the United States from Mexico after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to immediately send 10,000 soldiers to her country’s border to prevent drug trafficking.

    Tariff doomers are absolutely gutted right now.

  6. And what’s going to happen next? Mexico will begin to realise that America is an unreliable trade partner and start trading with China more. Much of South America is already trading with China more than the US, this absurd manoeuvre by Trump will force Mexico to follow suite. It’s a great win for China and a resounding defeat for America.

  7. Trump doesn’t care about reason, logic, Democracy,  or anyone but himself except for the stock market.

  9. Wait so you put people with guns on one side to keep people out and people with guns on the other side to keep people in?

    Which side is keeping its people in?

  10. I loved mixed and ambiguous messaging from my government, I love being in the dark about policy

  13. Boy who cried wolf. He is getting nothing in return and has caused chaos in international markets and government. All a farce (never about the drugs). What is he distracting from?

  14. During remarks Saturday night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said smuggling from Canada contributes less than 1% of the fentanyl street supply in the [U.S. Data from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/drug-seizure-statistics) supports Trudeau’s claim.

    In 2024, only about 43 pounds of fentanyl was seized at America’s northern border. That compares with roughly 21,100 pounds seized at the southern border.

  15. the troops were already there under Biden. Clown show trump caved to stop the market from crashing further

  19. Oh look the little orange shit stain is starting to cave

  20. Optics wise, this looks good for the Trump administration. Basically play hardball and chalk this up as a win. I assume Canada will do something similar… like establish some drug/immigration task force, and then Trump will claim that as a win too. Even though all this is unnecessary and could be accomplished via diplomacy.

  21. Caved like he always does. Trump and his supporters represent an America who pumps their chests, attempt to excuse machismo but when push comes to shove they retreat like the cowards that they are. They have failed at everything in life and try to overcome their failures by trying to bully to get what they want. But the minute there is push back, you see the caving in yet trying to spin it as a victory. And it works for those that support him. Their ignorance and own failures in life blind them.
