How is 10,000 Mexican men at the border stopping illegals and Fentanyl a failure? Canada is doing the same thing. Another failure? Explain to me how less killer drugs and Venezuela terrorists in our home is a failure, you loon.
Not stopping Fentanyl. Native born Americans are the smugglers and it's at regular border points on entry.
China, Mexico it's about the chemicals needed to make the stuff. We will all pay later for his antics and chaos. He'll be gone and in a grave when Americans get to suffer.
Trump is just showboating again. Settling for deals he could've gotten (maybe even better with real diplomacy), but he'll settle. It's a "deal" he seeks.

Trump Is Failing the Marshmallow Test. Again.
Appelbaum: There’s a very famous test in psychology called the marshmallow test. Basically, you put a kid in a room, you put one marshmallow in front of them, and you tell them that you’re going to come back in several minutes and if they have not eaten the marshmallow, you will give them a second marshmallow and they can eat both of them.
Much of Donald Trump’s approach to life is to systematically fail the marshmallow test at every opportunity. He always eats the first marshmallow as soon as it’s on the plate in front of him.
Healy: He can’t resist.

Appelbaum: The first time I ever interviewed Donald Trump was for the first big piece that I wrote about his views on trade. This is back in 2016. And the point I made in that piece was that he really is reincarnating a perspective on the world known as mercantilism, which was the view that nations are losers when they spend money to import goods. And the measure of a nation’s wealth and well-being economically is to be a net exporter of goods.
This is a view of the world that was prevalent in a much earlier period, really before modern capitalism took hold. It basically is a worldview in which nations are competing with each other, and the international economy is a zero-sum game, so if China is winning then the United States is losing, and vice versa.
