@Weeg this is what really happened, contrary to your endless spam about it.
Let's see if you can keep up.
National security expert Marcy Wheeler dropped the hammer on a pro-Trump commentator who proclaimed victory over President Donald Trump largely caving on one of his signature issues.
At the last minute on Monday, Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a deal that postponed tariffs on Mexico for a month in return for Sheinbaum sending 10,000 troops to secure her side of the border with the United States — with Trump seemingly unaware that Mexico did the same for former President Joe Biden after he took office. Social media users .
But far-right commentator Matt Walsh had a different perspective on the matter in a to X. "No country in Latin America has any power or leverage over the United States. There is literally nothing they can do when we make demands. We hold all the cards. They have none. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying, or delusional," he wrote. "There is a VERY small list of countries that have real power in the world and who we actually have to negotiate with. None of them are in Central or South America."
Wheeler, who runs the security analysis blog EmptyWheel, replied to Walsh with a reality check.
"Oh honey. You're sitting in a puddle of your own drool," she . "Trump got his a-- handed to him, by a woman. And you poor boys are so stupid you don't even know she gave him what Joe Biden got years ago. PLEASE for the sake of your self-respect stop drooling."
Trump's deal to postpone tariffs on Mexico does not affect the tariffs against Canada and China, which are still moving forward and prompting legal action and retaliation threats from both countries.
