The priorities for the President is different.
Securing the border is paramount before economy. But, Trump is working to improve both. It is a very basic and fundamental fact of life.
A country has a territory. If that territory cannot be secured, then there is no country.
All "mobile" living creatures (animals) "secure" its territory. All animals patrol and secure its own defined territory to assure its survival. Only when the territory is secured can there be a place for economic endeavors for survival and living. And it is within that territory that economics must thrive for its existence.
(Simply picture a pride of lions.)

We shall see what Mexico will do, I try to be optimistic. The Democrats refuse to secure the border or stop any illegals from coming in, won’t support the President building a wall, so the man doesn’t have a lot of options, so he’s using very cleverly tariffs to wake the Mexican government up and to threaten them to show them he’s deadly serious and so far it’s worked, brought them within 24 hours to the talks.
110% agree!

Wow the liberal media creates narratives on weekends now too, must be scared. Supposedly Mexico already agreed to this deal months ago.
just hadn’t gotten around to actually doing anything. Well great, Trumps tariff threat finally turning all that talk into action. If they don’t follow through this time, here come tariffs.

Trunp will fail. He always fails.

200 “documented” accomplishments say otherwise.

The Tariff card worked this time. Mexico with all of its factories from corporations from all over is beholden to foreign interests and a 5% tariff on those interests is not worth escalating the humanitarian crisis of essentially fueling human trafficking.
I was skeptical of the tariff approach. Seems to have worked. We'll see what Mexico can do, now that millions of Venezuelans are looking for a new home.

Another scam by the snake oil salesman to fool the rubes! His supporters also love Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty!
Dems Accuse Trump of Concocting Standoff With Mexico When Agreement Was Reportedly Reached Months Ago

Obviously, Trump played a part but ALL foreign corporations and certainly ALL US relocated companies in Mexico probably had to "pressure" Mexico. The rest of the world is suffering because of tariffs which so far may have been bearable, but if Mexico could not "negotiate" then ALL foreign and US corporation are "forced" to look for alternatives which will definitely cost so much more than they would want to bear and invest in. They already spent mega bucks to get to Mexico to begin with.
As mentioned in another article, all Mexico had to do was control their own border and prevent those migrants from entering their country to begin with. And yet they allowed that to happen. Which means that their interest is not for US border security. And that is another question which Trump has to deal with. There is much more, many ,more issues that must be addressed with Mexico.

Considering that the terms of the so called ‘deal’ were agreed upon months ago, another lie to the ever growing list.
Thats one record our liar-in-chief will have all for himself.
bass4funk
They accuse him of a lot of things and were proven wrong each time.
They haven’t in the past, never.
What? Oh...lol! That was funny.
Nazi? Going a bit on a limb here now are we? Lol

Trumpolitics:
Threaten to set the house on fire.
Light the match and tell everyone you really, really mean it.
Decide not to start the fire... and expect people to consider you a hero.Blacklabel
If it was agreed upon months ago why did we still get 144,000 illegals crossing our border in May? It took the threat of tariffs to make Mexico actually take some action.

Really? How come no "mark my words, mark my words" this time Donnie?
Anytime Trump says anything about Mexico just remember the promise he made before....the one he failed at...
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Don't buy into the big con again...
Blacklabel
The big difference is that Dems can’t block what Mexico does like they try to block everything Trump wants to do. Lost this one too, so wall moving forward

Doesn't have to, the threats of tariffs will scare the living soul out of anyone. It took less than two hours after Trump announced tariff increase on Mexico.
Well, the delegation are in the States already, so they take it seriously.
What?
lincolnman
I think you mean everyone knows his "word" means nothing - it's the word of a liar, swindler and con-man... No one believes anything he says. "My father was born in Frankfurt Germany" - sure....
They're being adults, conducting diplomacy and negotiations the way they're supposed to be done - not acting like a two year old...
The big con - you know, "Mexico will pay for the wall, mark my words, mark my words" - said over 16 times - and each time nothing but a lie...
gcbel
The usual con job on his low info supporters. They’ll lap it up like he’s actually accomplished something.

The anti-Trumpers here are a joke. Trump has scored a huge victory with this agreement with Mexico, and they simply cannot bring themselves to admit it.
bass4funk
200 documented accomplishments say otherwise.
No, they’re terrified that that money lifeline pacifier will be taken out of their mouths.
Yes, well they’re here, so the Mexicans don’t think it’s a lie.
bass4funk
They left for the States just a few hours after he announced he was going through with the tariffs, a master stroke indeed.
FizzBit
That’s right, and they never will.
I can understand their hysterics thought. I felt the same with Bush and Obama in the end. Difference is, I didn’t go into the two above Presidents hating their guts. Bush’s Iraq lie and Obama’s healthcare backstab did that. I hope they grow up some day and realize they’re rooting for a team that doesn’t exist. I liked Naders progressive push and watched the Dems/MSM try to destroy him. I liked Bernie’s progressive push and watched the Dems/MSM destroy him too. The Dems and lefties are rootless trees bouncing and flip flopping from one headline to the next using language that their mothers wouldn’t allow in her home.
lincolnman
And the truth comes out - this was nothing but another Trump con job. All of these agreements were reached back in March - Donnie just played like he was going to implement tariffs - nothing but theater.

Another example of what a swindler he is and what low self esteem he has - he has to dream up some scam to show what a big man he is - and con his supporters into thinking he got a "win"...
He not only has the understanding of a fifth grader, he has the insecurity of one also...
Nancy was right - time for an intervention...
bass4funk
We all have television sets, we saw the Mexican delegation here, so that argument got crushed. That guy came here hitting the ground running, dang.
And you know what, even if that were true, so what, as long as it gets the ball rolling,most people could care less. Oh....it’s CNN....never mind.....lol
Cool!
Trump called Nancy crazy, I tend to agree.
lincolnman
Con job - and the Trumpers fall for it - I wonder how many scams Trump has pulled on his supporters...
And it's so easy to see through - the insecure two year old has to have a manufactured "win"...
Guess the "Mexico will pay for the wall" lie started getting to him - he had to do something...
The sooner the intervention, the better...
bass4funk
Like when that guy said, if you like your doctor you can keep him?
I wonder how many Democrats scams are going on now and how many of the thousands of people that voted in these socialists.
Trump said, Nancy is seriously losing it, he said, she needs to get meds for her condition.
I tend to agree.
SuperLib
Obama had 384 documented accomplishments by this point in his term.
Jimizo
Trump praised Nancy in the past. After she said something bad about him, he thinks she’s crazy and so do you.
It’s almost like Trump supporters take criticism of him as personally as he does.
Creepy.
bass4funk
So wait until after Trump’s second term to double that.
bass4funk
Now she’s coming unglued.
As many others do, but the haters think he’s crazy, so that thought process goes both ways.
We feel the same about the haters.
lincolnman
In this case if you like your porn star cavorting, scam artist, who praises white supremacists, you can keep him - and you can really keep him...
Thank goodness her condition is treatable, as for Trump, they say you can't fix stupid...
Psst - Donnie, imprisonment. WHHHAAAAAA!!!!
lincolnman
Yep, you should see the punch list his Master Putin is going to give him...
