Donald Trump..Crazy...like a fox ..

[ironglow]

  Pres Trump says he will make deals and win, starting with tariffs..  Lefties say he can't possibly win..

 1) Trump calls pres of Columbia, tells him "I'm bringing your criminals back"..  Pres of columbia says, "don't even try it".

  So, pres Trump starts "talking turkey"...  Almost  immediately Columbian pres says, " Don't bring my criminals back here..I'LL COME AND GET THEM".

  2) Pres Trump says Panama Canal too much  dominated by the Chinese, pres of Panama scoffs. Secretary of State Rubio visits Panama, saying China
    has too much countrol of the canal..talks ensue..   Very soon pres of Panama says..China will have no more control over the canal !

   3) Pres Trump tells Mexico, they are not doing enough on the border..Pres of Mexico laughs.  Pres Trump says , "OK 25% tariff ,starting tomorrow".

  Mexican pres says.."OK,I'll put 20 thousand troops on the border to stop the invasion" ! Pres Trump replies.. Then I put the tariffs off for 30 days..

  That much, plus all the freedom sponsoring executive orders, makes one heck of a first week in office ! ...And I'm not tired yet !

  So what's the difference?  The difference is, Pres Trumo speaks from a position of STRENGTH.... whike Bi[0den and Obama tried to deal from a
   position of WEAKNESS..

   " PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH !".

  That is the "talking points' the looney left is handing out..  There will not be long discussions..and we will gain by them.

  BTW: Pres Trump has turned the water on for Californians. Could have been done either by Biden or Newscum, well before the devastating fires.

  The anti American leftists claim they will lose smelt..  Those smelt live throughoutthe San Joaquin basin and it would be very difficult to get
  them out of that basin .

    What's so great about smelt anyway?  There are smelt all over the country, and they infest the Great Lakes..

  See below map, where Smelt are thriving.  Smelt occupy the brown colored areas...

Trudeau has agreed to divert 1.3 billion towards border security, and thats what Trump wanted when in placed the tariffs on Canada.  2.5% of our GDPP goes out in exports to Canada and Mexico. One third of Canada's economy is exporting to the U.S. Trudeau knew he wasn't going to come close to winning a trade war with Trump. Next best thing is for him to give up, and thats what he did.

Canada committed the $1.3B back in December.

  Ha...Ha...Ha..    

  By December, Pres Trump was already Whitehouse bound..  The Canadian government, being far more prudent than King Belshazzar,
  could "read the handwriting on the wall"... 

  Now, don't go all "wonky" on us !

If the crazy fox had this all lined out in December why did he have to make tariff threats last week?
