It’s a lie
So even the NYT lies now in your eyes? That is a first.
It’s a lie
Mexico simply saw that our Dear Leader had---once again---painted himself into a corner. Having pulled the tariff threat out of his ass with no planning, no consultation with staff or the business community and no understanding of what the effects might be, he faced an unprecedented revolt by the GOP.
Mexico understood that, unless Trump was given some excuse to claim victory, he would proceed with the damaging tariffs. So, they gave him that excuse. They agreed to "take unprecedented action" to reduce illegal immigration. This classic nothingburger is now touted by his deranged cult members as a true Big Fucking Deal. And, sadly, many "journalists" are treating it as a BFD.
But, hey---it did distract from the Mueller report, the contempt proceedings and the video of him showing his ass to the world in front of rows of white crosses in France. "Mission Accomplished". lol

Yeah...it "NEVER HAPPENED"....
Trump still hangs tariff threat over Mexico despite deal
STERLING, Va. (AP) - President Donald Trump on Sunday dangled the prospect of renewing his tariff threat against Mexico if the U.S. ally doesn't cooperate on border issues, while some of his Democratic challengers for the White House said the last-minute deal to avert trade penalties was overblown.
In a series of tweets, Trump defended the agreement heading off the 5% tax on all Mexican goods that he had threatened to impose Monday, but he warned Mexico that, "if for some unknown reason" cooperation fails, "we can always go back to our previous, very profitable, position of Tariffs."
Still, he said he didn't believe that would be necessary.
~Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, speaking on "Fox News Sunday" insisted "all of it is new," including the agreement to dispatch around 6,000 National Guard troops - a move Mexico has described as an "acceleration."
"This is the first time we've heard anything like this kind of number of law enforcement being deployed in Mexico to address migration, not just at the southern border but also on the transportation routes to the northern border and in coordinated patrols in key areas along our southwest border," he said, adding that "people can disagree with the tactics" but that "Mexico came to the table with real proposals" that will be effective, if implemented.

Put together around CHRISTMAS by the woman Trump fired, Kirstjen Nielsen, and another 'woman' on the Mexico (State) side. You just can't make this shit up!! He was in TROUBLE LAST WEEK so he did another of his 'I'll show em', I'll be a badass.
The GOP screamed, the economists screamed and he never had ANY GD plan to do it anyway. A deal was already done!!
