He gave no details about the trade deal with Mexico. Congress has to approve the deal. It looks like he got the President of Mexico to join he fake show. The stock market is up because they fell for the fake trade deal show. The news media is acting like the deal is done.
This trade deal could be just like the North Korea deal. Trump told everyone he solved the nuclear missile problem. It was a lie.
I'm beginning to believe the American people are fucking fools.

The repubes make a big stinking deal out of something that turns out to be a NothingBurger. Sad.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador will assume power on Dec. 1. It will be very interesting to see if something is finalized (as in, actually signed) by then or if they are waiting. It will also be VERY interesting to hear Obrador's take on the new deal when details are made public, or, you know, reached.

He knows how to manipulate the media and they come drooling. Let the dust settle and see how deep they pry into his "deal".

(15,805 posts)without congress passing legislation to approve it. Since that isn't likely to happen before the midterms, and the Dems a projected to gain at least the House, Trump could find all his deals turned to dust.
