[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Green Cross Code Man]

So..... "Give me Greenland, and I'll stop the tariffs" ? Is that likely to be his line? Will the EU cave on that? I hope not. Somebody has to stand up to this blowhard and punch him on the nose.

Surely nothing to do with the EU. A matter for the Danish and the inhabitants of Greenland.

You sure. Mexico just surrendered to Trump. They won't be the last either Trump wins again

What has he actually 'won'? Pretending to send more troops to a border they don't patrol very well is hardly going to stop much.

Surrendered? Mexico are moving 10,000 troops to the border. Looks more like an invasion force than a surrender.

It will mean fewer illegal immigrants crossing the border into Mexico

saw a graph earlier, something like 30-35% of "American" cars - Ford, GM, etc, are actually made in Mexico.

It's about 22%, similarly 17% come from Canada.

All this could have a very negative knock on for the UK economy,

Or does that not concern you ?

he only has to gain something to wave in front of the Trumpian supports, who dont really pay attention to the details underneath. he'll proudly state he's forced Mexico to patrol to border, ignoring the actual outcome on fentanyl and immigrants. see the wall, who paid for it.

Not sure how you see this as a trump win, they moved 10k troops to the border and trump says he will hold off on the tariffs.

84% of convictions for Fentanyl smuggling in the US are US Citizens,

So are those 10,000 mexicans going to be working for the US on the US side of the border?

It's my understanding that the US are in charge of controlling what comes into the US? So is there much benefit to have a load more mexicans their side?

I guess the MAGA loons will not question this too closely and just declare a victory for Trump.

Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to deploy 10,000 national guard troops to block drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border.

I am interested to know if you are still on team Trump? As the most sensible of his supporters on here are you, as expected, finding the economic benefits enough to continue to look away from the rest of his buffoonery?

Yes.

Apparently, it’s almost impossible to legally buy a firearm in Mexico. But the drug gangs are armed to the teeth. Why?

Well, it turns out that there are around 500,000 guns smuggled into Mexico per year from the States. If that tap switches off, American arms manufacturers (who obviously turn a blind eye to this) will lose millions and millions. Fingers crossed.
