It's pretty obvious trump hasn't won anything
He's been played by china and Mexico, but it's not what his headlines show.
Some like the headlines, the thinking deeper is harder
Even on Friday, she said she was confident of a last-minute reprieve from the 25% tariffs on Mexican goods. And so it proved, following an early morning telephone call with President Trump.
Announcing the agreement soon after, she could barely wipe the smile from her face and her supporters have heralded what they see as a masterclass in how to negotiate with Donald Trump.
Yes, she agreed to send National Guard troops to the border to focus on fentanyl-smuggling, but crucially she secured what she wanted from Trump, too.
As well as the obvious – a pause on tariffs – she also got Trump to "promise" the US would do more to tackle the traffic of high-powered weapons from the US into Mexico, to prevent them from ending up in the arms of cartel gunmen.

That's a nice bit of writing. You should take it up professionally.
I wonder whether Trump has made his mind up about Ukraine yet. I read two brief snippets yesterday. One was that Trump halted arms shipments for a few days whilst he thought about what to do. The other was that he has expressed interest in Zelensky's plan to offer rare earths to America in return for their full support against Putin.

He hasn't made his mind up whether he wants a McDonald's or a Wendy's for lunch yet.
It turns out this is complete bulls hit.
Mexico already had 15,000 troops on the border agreed with Biden in 2022
Canada had already agreed a deal with Biden to invest $1.3b to protect Northern border
Trump saw the retaliatory tariffs and wet himself .....that's what actually happened
Except by the majority of those who voted in America
Move over wishy washy tree-hugging trans pushing Democrats, time for you to see how a country SHOULD be governed.

They voted him in. I don't think they think they are winning yet. If they voted him in on prices it's more likely the oppositeExcept by the majority of those who voted in America
If you think trump is s how anywhere should be governed I despair
I agree, if the USA was governed properly it would:
have the worlds fastest recovery from post covid inflation
have 24 million people enroll for affordable care
take on pharmas to make prescription drugs affordable
negotiate a deal with Canada to increase spending on border protection by $1.3b
negotiate a deal with Mexico to increase troops on border by 15000 and dramatically reduce border crossings
oh wait a minute that was done under the "wishy washy tree hugging pushing Democrats"
Trump 2016 to 2020 showed how us how America SHOULD be governed...........he had a trade war with China resulting in Trump having to spend $billions giving grants to farmers who were forked by Chinas retaliatory trade policies
Fake news ...
Mexicans were always going to back down
“Remember the Alamo”
Canada as well
yes exactly a heavy French presence in Canada
I see Macron is attempting to rally fellow members of his EU club
Mean while Starmer is in an awkward position as he attempts to balance on the tight rope
He needs a new mission ? A sort of run with the fox and hunt with the hounds policy / task force / also needs turbo charging
