1. Has actually threatened to send our troops into Mexico if he needs to eliminate certain threats

2. Like Obama did with Syria, President Trump has now threatened Iran using "or else" type tactics. It doesn't work...

3. Trump once again defended Putin and Russia, but this time, he actually made a comparison of the US to Russia saying, "you think our country is so innocent". Again, this is a comparison of apples and oranges. Then again, I guess a KGB goon is similar to a corporate elitist.




Yeah, educated diplomacy is overrated when you're the world power.

Mexico =/= Syria

These are 2 completely different situations. In Mexico, you are dealing with drug cartels who are exploiting the poor to work for them. In Syria, you have a group of people who believe that GOD is telling them to kill all non-believers.

This is fricking fake news spread by CNN. Quit being a shill

Mexico's gov't denies an uncorroborated CNN report

We should try and make a deal with them.......

Maybe he should follow obama's lead and just send the guns. Hopefully he won't misplace them.

How about we hold liberal politicians and their Media mouths accountable for creating a lot of these problems by lying to their Grubers? Trump, so far has been the best President IMHO since Reagan. And I did say so far, I know he has done a lot of good things already, but its only been 2 weeks. Keep fighting the fight King Donald the 1st!

Have you seen the peso-dollar exchange rate? Trump could tank the Mexican economy with a stroke of his pen. I'd argue it does work.

Now drawing a red line for Syria, then backing away from it after they cross it many times? That's the definition of weak.

Mexico should let the US send some special forces down there. They don't want that because they are in bed with the cartels

Crippling them with sanctions does work. But it has to be applied by other countries as well. I'd be happy to see Russia applying their own sanctions on Iran as well and really squeezing them. Could Trump's relationship with Russia actually be used for good, rather than the nefarious plan to take over the world that the left think? I know, that's just crazy talk.

See above, genius.

I'm glad they are teaching children to type at earlier ages. However, as we see above, there are drawbacks.

We will see about this one. I'm very interested in what happens here, but my guess is the total repeal of the nuke deal and we cut off the sale of oil again.

It does if you use the "or else."

Fake news, but you seem the gullible type. Has been retracted and Mexico confirmed this is fake.

Did he give them a deadline or 'red line'? No, he didn't. He kept it vague and didn't specify anything.

If the US is completely innocent, what did Obama go around apologizing for?

The only thing in your list that's not garbage is number 3.

Trump could have used better phrasing in that interview.

Rumor has it that Navy Seals already did number 1 this year. Supposedly terrorist attack on the border.

Re-enact the sanctions that tanked Iran's economy. If the Iranians strike out militarily strike back. There's ways of wrecking their economy without bullets.
