A discount divorce lawyer in Lake Charles thinks he knows more than Trump about international government leverage.

Trump isn’t making these small decisions. He said “draw up a deportation plan.” People with international diplomatic experience drew them up.

Colombia’s government (and Mexico and Guatemala etc etc etc) were told this was going to happen.

No one was surprised.

Mexico tried this. Colombia tried it. Likely the cartels told the government that they better figure out a way to keep their money coming in (trafficking people has become as profitable for them as some of their drug trade). So the cartel-owned governments had to pretend to not want to do this.

The best part is he sending his own plane so we don’t have to take their asses down there.

It’s for show. His plane will take a maximum of one flight with the dregs of society that came from his country. And it might be zero.

Have a feeling Trump is going to refuse this "offer" and say "No, you will take our C17s full of your criminals or else"

You didn’t understand my previous post.

You compounded your error by pretending to.

Then you responded to me noting that you didn’t understand my post by implying you didn’t care.
