President Trump has spent the last half day frantically retweeting his propagandists, who are pushing the absurd deception that Trumps new deal with Mexico is a massive and historic victory. In reality, the agreement which averts Trumps 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 hes 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!

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.
