Mexico said they will look to send troops to the Guatemalan border. It may stem Guatemalan immigrants who come through Mexico to get to the US(unlikely), but it won't stem actual Mexicans.

But yeah. Big victory.


Everytime he makes a proclamation, more migrants flood in to beat the new obstacle.

He’s literally causing the surge.

Kinda don't understand this quote, dishonest in what way. As well America can't claim any Lilly white innocence in fair global business practices as well. Cause the Japanese do have a shyt load of stories how there economy literally collapsed in a few years because America was getting their ass kicked once again by a country that made better product which increased there trade imbalance. American couldn't cut it and make better produce for cheaper and forced change down the Japanese mouths. China has every right to tell America to screw off and just make better stuff. Seems like history is repeating itself!

Now unfair do you mean pegging their currency or the trade deficit? I see the point with pegging their currency but the trade deficit that is squarely on American business owners.

Americans have a myopic view of the world. Though I hardly think China is a "fair" player they are basically doing what other countries (US included) did 100 years ago. People are real mum about those German patents we stole after WWI.

Anyway, most Americans don't remember the 90s but China remembers the devastation the Plaza Accords wreaked on Japan's economy and Asia as a whole remembers the humiliation of the 97 currency crisis when the IMF and Larry Summers told them not to bail out their banks....and then in 2008 we promptly bail out our banks. They are biding time to pull our ho card unfortunately. I don't want to see America go down but we need to be honest and say we do what we want, not have faux moral outrage.

That is the one couldn't remember the name of it. When I was in Japan and drinking after dinner they use to go off on those stories. Japanese are stoic people but during those stories extremely animated!

Yup 97 decimated Asian and especially southeast Asia.

China will systematically troll trump's voters. With all the madness we have seen 2020 is still coming :wow:
Funny you say that

There were articles in People’s Daily China last year saying that China would retaliate by targeting industries in states that Trump won in 2016.

His approvals in IA, WI, MI, and PA are underwater.

China should just ignore the potus because he does not want to get anything done with china except total surrender & destruction of the chinese economy. Dude makes promises in person & changes his mind the next day . If china wasn't a threat they would have fabricated something to start a military fiasco already .
