“Potus took a piece of paper out of his breast pocket and said it’s his deal with Mexico. He declined to show it to us, but said it will go into effect when Mexico tells him it’s okay to release it.” - via pool

if this were any of us we would be put in a room wishing that we were ONLY bound like Hannibal Lecter. They would lock the door,throw away the key, make a different key and then throw that one away.
One can only imagine what the total story is

Went behind LBJ's back and told the Vietnamese to walk away from peace talks and he'd get them a better deal. Extended the war by 5 years causing how many more US and Vietnamese deaths and casualties?

His supporters are virtually delusional. The media just reports everything and gives him constant publicity without framing it as the duplicity or stupidity that it is. There are those of us who do see it for what it is, but we are generally relegated to "haters" or ignored.

Then the media asks, "How did we get here?" I wonder...

who holds up the secret love letter he says he just got from some hot pop star. "No, you can't read it because it's personal... she wants to marry me."

Besides, and foreign treaty needs to be vetted through US agencies, and like any other legal document it is a contract written by lawyers. Then it would still need to be voted up or down by Congress before it ever landed on Trump's desk to be defaced by his graffiti sharpie.
