    Dow rebounds, like it almost always does, only down 149 right now.

    Because Mexico showed that Trump blinked. As such, the Dow has no reason to collapse due to his stupid policies.

    Mexico agrees to send troops to the border so Trump blinked. OK?

    Probably why border crossings dropped in Biden's last year in office.

    Or in 2023. Or in 2021. Or in 2019. Heck, they used the same number in 2021.

    This concession with Mexico frees up Trump to look at our real top national security threats, Canadians and windmills.

    Caving on Tariffs "postponed a month" is a material change from the bluster of the weekend. Markets might be volatile having no idea what the strategic plan of the chaotic White House is.

    They've been cooperating for awhile. The US border essentially begins at their southern border, Scheinbaum is from the same party as AMLO was, so continuity. They've more or less decided to keep the US happy with this so they can not have their leftist government couped/destabilized or sanctioned.

    This "pain," of which Trump speaks so blithely, won't be felt by him or his billionaire supporters. They have no skin in this game of tariffs.

    So far, it looks like the big difference between Trump and Biden is that he's doing things the way Biden did...

    That must be why he's in such a hurry with the seizings and the takeovers and the tariffs and whatnot.

    Don’t forget trans story time and that cartoon mouse. I’m sure the red hat rockers are celebrating but they probably don’t know that Dementia Don had to make some concessions himself by being told he had to stop the flow of military weapons and ammunition to drug cartels or Mexico’s tariffs go back in effect.

    Yeah, we won't do that either. Gun industry wouldn't appreciate the loss of a huge chunk of revenue for them (straw purchases of guns in the US for transport to Mexico and Central America).
