little donnie lies again to make himself feel like a man
The orange nitwit's lies are so easily disprovable.
quote:
“President Donald Trump boasted of “large” agricultural sales to Mexico as part of a deal reached Friday on border security and illegal immigration that averted the threat of U.S. tariffs, but the deal as released had none, and three Mexican officials say they’re not aware of any side accord,” Bloomberg reported. “Increasing Mexico’s purchases from the U.S. wasn’t discussed during the three days of talks in Washington that led up to Friday’s agreement, said the three people with knowledge of the deliberations who weren’t authorized to speak publicly.”
There might not even be a mechanism for such discussions to ever occur.
“Mexico has no state-owned agricultural conglomerate to buy food products or handle distribution, or a government program that could buy farm equipment for delivery to producers,” Bloomberg noted.

He does not even understand that the lies he tells are not even possible.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: little donnie lies again to make himself feel like a man
I don't think he lies, he believes what he says, but I don't care at this point anyway. All I care about is that he made a deal that stopped the caravans.
Ya know what. He IS a man, he's a strong personality, flawed for sure but strong where it counts. He's withstood almost three years of personal attacks. That takes character where it counts. He knows his cause is a good one and that his supporters know it too.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
Looks to me llke he knew what he was doing and that Mexico would stop the flood of illegal immigrants because of the threat of the tariff.
but these agreements were made months ago, before the threat of the tariffs. Trump is claiming some great deal has been made to avoid his threat but it actually happened months ago, he's lying.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
again, the agreements happened before the threat, do you not understand how time works? The tariffs would be an empty threat anyways unless donny wants to blow up the new NAFTA deal and make himself look even more incompetent.

One would assume Faith did not know how time worked considering her posts here. But I think it just shows that all she is a troll.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
Look, I always have to take anything you guys say with a huge grain of salt. I'm waiting to hear other explanations than yours. It was the tariffs that did it apparently, whatever the earlier agreement was about, I think Trump gets credit for knowing that tariffs would work. That's enough for me at the moment.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
Too funny.
Why do you think that even if Mexico totally closed their southern border it was stop or even slow the immigration?
Are there immigration chains from Africa reaching southern Europe across the Mediterranean?
Are there water routes between Central America and South America and the US?
Sorry Faith but Trump is simply a fool, willfully ignorant and a conman whose only support is the willfully ignorant who wish to be conned and are totally divorced from reality.

Years ago - it might have been the 1972 federal election - we had a political ad that showed a man putting up a billboard, "Lib."
Then there was another shot of another man putting up, "tive."
Then another shot of the first man, "Liber."
Then another shot of the second man, "vative."
Then finally, a wide shot that showed both men working on the same billboard, "Libervative."
The joke, in case you don't get it, is that both Liberals and Conservatives are too conservative.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
Well, we know those huge caravans come up through Mexico's southern border so stopping those should accomplish a big reduction in the flood of illegals into the US. If there are other sources so what, they need to be dealt with too. But your implication that stopping the caravans accomplishes nothing is obviously wrong.

Tariffs and willful ignorance
I Looked up willful ignorance in an encyclopedia, it gave me a summary of this conversation:
JonF writes:
There are now reports that the deal "consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take in prior discussions with the United States over the past several months."
Faith writes:
I heard yesterday about Mexico stopping caravans at their southern border because of Trump's threat of a tariff
Theodoric writes:
This was all agreed to months ago
Faith writes:

By which you really mean “stop refugees trying to legally enter the country”. Of course the US has form in that area:
