Mexico has been working with the U.S. on the border for some time now. All trump did was put on a strong man dog and pony show that wasn't needed to make himself look tough.
Not wrong ... and as for strong man tactics? It's funny isn't it. It's softly softly with N Korea and Putin - and a big stick and threats with our allies and neighbors. I know the talk all over EU with politicians and commentators - "can you even trust any agreement with Trump" - a large part of the conversation is a need to move away from relying on business with the US and Trump can't be trusted. Say whatever needs to be said to pacify him as abully but work to find better partners.
I guess any Trump supporter would understand this mentality - if you have a so called ally that is only interested in screwing YOU over for their benefit (Trump's twisted opinion of free trade as we have now) ... well fk that country and work to making things better for your own country whatever the means.
Gosh we are a far far from Reagan's America - heard this today:
