There was no super deal with Mexico this week
Donald is conducting trade policy by tweets.
Also, Donald flinched.
Mexico received an offer over 6 months ago.
But they agreed to no deal.
So then Trump withdrew a threat of 5% tariffs on all Mexican goods. And Yesterday, 6/8/19, it was reported that Mexico already agreed to key provisions.
But once again. Trump flinched from his tough talk.
Also? Don-Don's threat of tariffs met with bipartisan criticism & Republicans (REPUBLICANS!) in the Senate demanded (DEMANDED!) the president delay his plans and meet with them directly (COME TO OUR OFFICE, IMMEDIATELY!)
And? The deal isn't a deal until Congress says it's a deal (Got Constitution?)
& even though MUCH of this is NAFTA lite - the deal faces significant hurdles in Congress.
Meanwhile, there are child deaths, kids spending the night in vans, rapes, murders of people IN US CUSTODY at the border. And even a US Citizen was shot last week by CBP.
But Donald is never stingy & is never one to flinch on his own MARKETING!
So, Donald & his minions are taking victory laps.
(remember: Toilet Plunger Lips!)
