  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

“After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This Agreement is until April 2nd. I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl. Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!”

And the pendulum swings. Let's see if my local market decides to lower its avocado price before they all rot.

Honestly, it probably has more to do with somebody pointing out that if his original plan involved publicly violating a deal he signed nad made a large part of his image as a successful businessman. The tariffs also would have been illegal as they would have been against a properly ratified treaty, which is the law of the land, but I doubt he cares as much about that piece.

Actually it is. Look at the southern border. Democrats insisted Joe needed a new law in order to do better. They claimed Trump was really against securing the border because he told Congress to kill a Democrat border bill.
