Trump the Clown THREATENED to tariff Mexico if they don't stop illegals. The threatened tariff won't start until June 10. It will face the same fate as his last threat, to close the border with Mexico because they haven't stopped illegals. That threat vanished into hot air just like this will.

This guy is a windbag that no one takes seriously.

Evidently many here do not, and continue getting excited over his latest blast of hot air...again and again.

“Look, here’s the thing,” he said. “If the people who are moving up with scripts to claim asylum from their narco-trafficker, human-trafficker handlers simply understood that that script ain’t gonna work anymore getting into America,” then the stream of migrants coming up to the southern border to claim asylum “will go to a trickle.”

What's the problem? Isn't this the whole fucking point of the threat? To get them to act? If they make good on these concessions, great. If not, tariffs.

Remember how he threatened to close the border with Mexico until they controlled illegal immigration? Well, it was hot air like everything he says, and he ultimately postponed the threat for 1 year because he claimed he was satisfied that Mexico was taking meaningful action.

So, if Mexico isn’t doing enough, why not put some teeth behind your hot air and shut down the border? If that’s too extreme, why make the threat to begin with, like a fucking buffoon? Why completely start over with this tariff threat? Because I have news for you, we will have deja vu, Trump will back off the tariffs because he will claim to be satisfied that Mexico was taking meaningful action, and they still won’t do shit.

1. Trump using tariffs to solve an issue unrelated to trade is retarded.

2. The tariffs undermine the USMCA trade agreement, which would replace NAFTA and need passage by Congress.

3. The tariffs are an additional tax on American consumers.

LJL@low IQ Trump flailing around, hoping something sticks.

In other words, Trump's "threat" to impose tariffs was 100% hot air, with zero chance of being implemented, but his dick-suckers here went crazy for it. Then, when people realized I was right and the tariffs would never materialize, they cheered for his "deal" which supposedly only resulted from his tariff threat. Oops! Trump the Clown continues clowning around, an atrocious failure at doing a thing about illegal immigration:

New York Times: Mexico, US agreed on border policies months before Trump tariff threat

Mexico had already promised to take many of the actions agreed to in Friday's immigration deal with the US -- months before President Donald Trump's tariff threat, officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations told the New York Times in a story published Saturday.

Trump moved to accept the existing agreements in a deal Friday after negotiations prompted by his threat to impose growing tariffs on Mexico in response to the border situation dragged on over several days. Talks between Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and State Department officials lasted for more than 11 hours Friday.

The Mexican government had pledged to deploy the National Guard nationwide with a focus on its southern border -- a key part of Friday's agreement -- during secret meetings in March between former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Mexican interior secretary Olga Sanchez in Miami, the officials told the Times.

The deal's key expansion of a program that would keep asylum seekers in Mexico while their claims are processed was established in two heavily brokered two diplomatic notes exchanged between the two countries, the Times reported. Nielsen announced the Migrant Protection Protocols during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in late December.

One senior government official insisted to the Times that the Mexican government agreed to move to deter migrants faster and more aggressively than they ever had before this week's talks.

Trump disputed the Times' story in a series of tweets Sunday morning, writing that his administration, like others before it, had been working toward some aspects of the deal "for a long time," but said they "were not able to get them, or get them in full, until our signed agreement with Mexico."

The President also said in his tweets that additional parts of the deal -- and "one in particular" -- were not announced Friday but will be rolled out "at the appropriate time." It was not immediately clear what Trump was referring to in his tweet.

Later Sunday, acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan told Fox News' Bret Baier that "all of (Friday's deal) is new," and added that although Mexico has deployed several hundred troops to its border before, the new deal is "more than a tenfold commitment to increase their security."

McAleenan also told Baier that Trump's tariff threat against Mexico helped get the country "to the table" to negotiate, saying that Ebrard "arrived within hours" to negotiate with the US after the threats were made -- leading to Friday's deal.

As Ebrard noted in a news conference after the agreement's announcement Friday, the Mexican government did not accept the US's push for a safe third country agreement, which would require asylum seekers traveling through Mexico to make their case for American asylum in Mexico.

"They proposed in the first meeting to have (a) third safe state, which is not the case here, which is very important. And on the other hand, we accepted to have a more extended version of (migrants remaining in Mexico during asylum claim processing) and to accelerate the deployment of the national guard," Ebrard said, calling the deal "a fair play."

Trump presented the deal as a win in a pair of tweets early Saturday.

"Mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the United States and Mexico!" the President wrote in a tweet. He continued later: "MEXICO HAS AGREED TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN BUYING LARGE QUANTITIES OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT FROM OUR GREAT PATRIOT FARMERS!"

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Saturday that he had a phone call with Trump after negotiators reached a deal Friday.

"I spoke on the telephone with President Trump," Lopez Obrador tweeted in Spanish on Saturday. "I told him that in Tijuana I would say that I do not lift a clenched fist but an open and frank hand to the president of the United States. We reiterated our disposition to friendship, dialogue and collaboration for the good of our countries."

Democratic congressional leaders slammed Trump for his attempts to negotiate a deal.

Senate Majority Chuck Schumer jabbed Trump's repeated return to the issue, tweeting Friday night: "This is an historic night! @realDonaldTrump has announced that he has cut a deal to 'greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States.' Now that that problem is solved, I'm sure we won't be hearing any more about it in the future."

On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Trump in a statement of having "undermined America's preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs on our close friend and neighbor to the south."

Congress, she said, will hold the White House "accountable for its failures to address the humanitarian situation at our southern border."

Let's go through some indisputable facts, shall we?

1. When I first heard Trump announce tariffs, my IMMEDIATE reaction was to discount it as more hot air from the windbag. I knew there was a 0% chance he'd ever go through with it, and it's why he "threatened" them weeks in the future instead of simply implementing them. I knew from his prior hot air, like this threat to close the border with Mexico, that he's an impotent clown who wouldn't do shit. But many on XO got excited, see this thread.

I was irrefutably right. No tariffs were ever implemented, and you'd have to be pretty naive to believe they were ever a serious threat. No shortage of naive people here though.

2. The actual "deal" that was announced is basically useless, just as the "deal" Mexico gave us to divert Trump's "threat" of closing the border. Of course, XO quickly forgot about that one too.

There's one key component that we need: force asylum seekers who travel through Mexico to apply in Mexico for asylum, not the US. In fact, I believe this is already established international law that Mexico refuses to follow. Trump wouldn't be such a windbag full of hot air if his antics could at least get Mexico to go along with what they should have been doing anyway. But alas, the Clown could do no such thing:

As Ebrard noted in a news conference after the agreement's announcement Friday, the Mexican government did not accept the US's push for a safe third country agreement, which would require asylum seekers traveling through Mexico to make their case for American asylum in Mexico.

"They proposed in the first meeting to have (a) third safe state, which is not the case here, which is very important. And on the other hand, we accepted to have a more extended version of (migrants remaining in Mexico during asylum claim processing) and to accelerate the deployment of the national guard," Ebrard said, calling the deal "a fair play."

3. Bottom line, I was 100% right yet again. Trump the Clown is such a pathetic disgrace that I can't take anything he has to say on illegal immigration seriously. XO, desperate to love Trump, seems to eat these shit sandwiches and act like they are reason to praise Trump. Sure, he's better than Hillary would have been, but that's not the metric. The metric is that whenever this guy opens his mouth, shit is coming out, but XO eats it up. Baffling...

Whether or not he actually accomplished anything with the threat isn't clear yet, but it was definitely obvious to everybody that this was just a threat and nothing more

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4273064&forum_id=2#38362443)

We already had multiple threads on XO where everyone was in agreement that this was obviously just a play for concessions. I'm sure there are plenty of normie NPC retards who thought this was a real thing, but who cares about those people?

You are far more black pilled than the average XO Trump supporter. I have no doubt that you agreed with me all along (though it wasn’t expressed ITT), but your feeling was not common, IRL or here.
