trump is nuts

President Trump has spent the last half day frantically retweeting his propagandists, who are pushing the absurd deception that Trump’s new deal with Mexico is a massive and historic victory. In reality, the agreement — which averts Trump’s threatened tariffs — consisted mostly of things Mexico already agreed to months ago.

Trump is in a rage over this — he repeatedly fumed at the New York Times for reporting it — and now he’s amplifying the notion that he won enormous concessions from Mexico by claiming that Mexico has secretly agreed to another major provision that will be revealed at some unspecified future time.

This has come packaged with a threat: Trump just tweeted that if Mexico does not soon take formal steps to ratify that secret provision, “Tariffs will be reinstated!”

Maybe the Queen gave him the wrong Royal Secret Potion......

In a side note, tRump's latest tantrum could endanger ratification of the new trade agreement (revised NAFTA)...

He's just about worn out his big bully stick......

Are they on double secret probation unless they cower down to this illegitimate king wanna be, and do as he demands. This is just another scam, an act, all another phony scheme from trump trying to look like he's done something good, when its all fabricated by him to promote himself with propaganda , not facts and the truth. Just another failed PR stunt.

Let's just wait to see what calamity he inflicts on us all before we wake up and remove him.

But they seem to be dragging their feet with that weird hearing yesterday. I just don't see how it accomplished anything toward the end of trump.
