This ain’t looking too good. “Wait two days” turns into “wait one year.”
President Donald Trump on Thursday backed off his threat to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border, marking his second major climbdown this week.
Talking to reporters in the White House, Trump said he would instead give Mexico a “one-year warning” to stop the flow of drugs into the United States and that he would first impose auto tariffs before closing the border.
The reversal comes after fellow Republicans, business groups and even some of his own aides warned him of dire economic consequences if Trump moved forward with his threat.
“The only thing frankly better, but less drastic than closing the border, is to tariff the cars coming in,” Trump said. “We’re going to give them a one-year warning and if the drugs don’t stop or largely stop, we’ll put tariffs on Mexico and products, in particular cars.”
Cars. Drugs. What about the invaders?
The broken promises add up as the “America last” policy manifests. The swamp is deeper than ever. Sodomy is encouraged worldwide. 1.5 million invaders flow in (this year!). Bump stocks banned. Those tax cuts are starting to look kind of expensive. Maybe it’s time to delete the Twitter account, boot Javanka, and get to work.
America first … or whenever:
