In reply to the discussion: Mexico just folded [View all]snowybirdie
(6,729 posts)10. Love Mexico
and its people. But having been stopped by the Federal troops several times for their drug interaction program. (Along major,roadways, at random) I can report they are not the best of trained troops. Sometimes wearing half a uniform or having a weapon with no bullets, seems to be the norm. They will take a cold drink if offered and can be distracted with a joke and a smile. Once they offered to trade for our dog for a pass of no car search. Not impressed with this offer, we made a joke and all was well. Good luck with border help Donnie dumbfuck!

Trump only cares about optics. The optics he can play was that he got concessions.

I don't know the back story. But when it comes to international stuff, other countries really have their own
