lets ignore the last 4 years as if it never happened.

I am going to move on now..
Not sure what you refer to. One of the top concerns this election was product cost. Wasn't ignored. What also isn't going to be ignored is the pledge to bring down prices, "on day one" I think the pledge was, and then the opposite happens not because of a pandemic induced worldwide inflation, but because rather what a president did on their own.

From the op's link:

She [Mexican President] also said the U.S. had agreed to work to prevent high-powered weapons from being trafficked into Mexico.

Trump did not mention the U.S. working to prevent weapons from being trafficked into Mexico....


I look forward to the Executive Order in the next 30 days.

Mexico and Canada are SENDING 10,000 soldiers. That means it is about to happen, regardless of what happened during Joe’s regime.

The difference is found in the number of illegal border crossings.

Americans didn't overlook inflation in the past four years, which contributed to Democrats losing White House and Congress.

Republicans will repeat their mistake if they ignore inflation and focus on other issues.

The United States-Mexico border faces several challenges, including illegal border crossings, human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking. I hope President Trump can solve some of these problem.

But my question is how Canada became part of this problem? Do we have illegal border crossing from our northern neighbor?
There is a major issue with the flow of drugs...

US pauses tariffs on Mexico, Canada for a month



Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a post on social media, writing, "Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan -- reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl.​
Trudeau also added, "Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border." The moves will result in a 30-day delay in the tariffs in order to work out a deal, he said.​
The moves mirror similar promises Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum issued earlier in the day after speaking to Trump.​
U.S. tariffs imposed on Mexico have been "paused for a month," Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in a post on X Monday shortly after speaking to President Donald Trump. Trump confirmed the news shortly after in a social media post of his own.​
Sheinbaum said Mexico has agreed to "reinforce" the Mexico-U.S. border with 10,000 National Guard troops "immediately." She also said the U.S. had agreed to work to prevent high-powered weapons from being trafficked into Mexico.​
BRAVO President Trump
Trump's a great President indeed! I'm so proud of him! :D

God is being very merciful in 2025! All glory and honor to him!

This is what happens when a strong POTUS is putting America first and fulfilling his promise to close down the borders against illegal immigrants and fight against the massive flood of fentanyl which is killing a hundred thousand Americans a year.
It’s a shame, though, we’re not going to be seeing all of that fresh (new) revenue from the Tariffs, how are we going to pay for future “tax-cuts”?

An America first agenda is not being a bully. It means standing up strong and refusing to allow globalists to take advantage of the USA.
Quoted for posterity.

EDIT: Poor, downtrodden America, why can’t it catch a break? We have about 5% of the Earth’s population but consume about 35% of the world’s resources then have the absolute temerity to complain about how “bad we have it”?

Right.

After Trump was elected - why didn't they offer during Biden?

And did nothing.... - now with a President who has a backbone - they are.
Biden and Trudeau did work together.


The U.S. and Canada have reached a deal that would allow both countries to turn away asylum seekers who cross the border illegally as the effects of irregular migration span the hemisphere, President Joe Biden said Friday.​
Biden made the announcement during an address to the Canadian Parliament and following a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.​
Less than 0.2% of the Fentanyl that comes into this country is via Canada.

The major issue is that Americans are smuggling the fentanyl in. And Americans made a market for it.

Trump doesn't have a backbone, he is all show but no substance.

Too bad it didn’t work

I’m sure the families of those killed will find that very comforting.

Thanks for your opinion. I believe you are mistaken. How many hostages from how many countries have been set free?

Why didn’t Joe get them out?

Just like Carter.

Oh, so less that 0.2% is 'massve'?
Why didn't Trump get it stopped his first term?

I’m sure the families of those killed will find that very comforting.
Ultimately, the ones who take the drugs are responsible and all the Americans who smuggle it in as they don't look like smugglers.
I will make sure to keep your post and see if Trump has it all solved in 4 years.
And closing and controlling both borders helps limit that

Thanks for your opinion. I believe you are mistaken.
I believe you are mistaken, but your opinion was noted.

Oooh! now you change topics. Not surprizing.

The hostages freed from Gaza now are thanks to the cease fire Biden and his Sec. of State negotiated.
And before that:


Biden was surrounded by family members of Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva and Vladimir Kara-Murza as he spoke about the efforts involved in the swap, which is the largest since the Cold War involving 24 people and several countries......​
"I wanted to make sure we hit the ground running, and we did," Biden continued. "As of today, my administration has brought home over 70 Americans who were wrongfully detained and held hostage abroad. Many since before I took office."​
Later, when asked by a reporter about Trump's repeated claims he could've gotten the hostages out of Russia without concessions, Biden took a more direct jab at his former political opponent.​
"Why didn't he do it when he was president?" Biden responded.​
So why didn't Trump, with that 'big ole backbone' get them out?
All he knows how to do is bluster and bully and put on a show that is really a joke or a distraction. It was all hot air on his part as he had the same agreement from Canada back in December, but he wanted to look tough so he tried bullying, and alienated friends of the US.

I'm sure many bullys, in their mind, are standing up strong and refusing to be taken advantage of.

It looks like bullying behaviour to me. It certainly looked like bullying to Canada and Mexico.

Some bullies promote open borders they know includes child sex trafficking and child labor and young women being sold into prostitution rings because they are immune to any empathy for innocent human beings.

Some bullies promote lax national security and lax law enforcement because they know our nations enemies are slaughtering our young men with a poison called fentanyl and they are so full of hate they are willing to help with the slaughter.

And some bullies call the victim the bully so as to obfuscate what is really going on .. Victim blaming is never a good look.

And yes, being a victim is a choice and so we are going to defend ourselves now, from all of our enemies.

I respectfully disagree with your statement. Your information appears to be inaccurate.

Here are the facts



Less than 0.5% of illegal drugs entering the USA originate from Canada.

1738762461434.png


In 2024 US Customs and Border Protection agents seized just 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year, according to statistics released publicly by the agency. Meanwhile, about 21,100 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the Mexican border.

Just enough to kill every man woman and child in America.

No big deal.

Our enemies are killing Americans intentionally, so we are asking neighbors for extra help to defend ourselves from the attack.

People who don't want to help us clearly side with our nations enemies. It would be sad if Canada chose to be our enemy, since we have always seen them as friends.

Yeah, if taken all at once this might be true. Which never happens.
Nice talking point but clearly detached from reality.

Just enough to kill every man woman and child in America,- or get every man woman and child addicted in a month?

It's killing Americans, it's made specifically to kill Americans and CANADA AND MEXICO are complicit.

They can be on our side, or the side of our enemies.

I am not interested in provocative language such as "our enemy is killing us intentionally." I am interested in facts.

  1. The fact is that less than 0.05% of fentanyl comes from Canada.
  2. The Canadian government does not send drugs to the USA.
  3. Unlike Mexico, Venezuela, or China, Canada is a democracy with a law and order system similar to the USA. The Canadian government or law enforcement is not associated with drug dealers, unlike some countries near our southern border.
  4. Canada has there share of fentanyl problem. 2024, approximately 79% of all accidental opioid toxicity deaths in Canada involved fentanyl. This percentage has increased significantly since 2016.

What bullies are those? AS there has not been open borders like MAGA folks describe, no sanctioned child sex trafficking occurs. Criminals to that. There is sex trafficking within the US as well as outside the US. Neither the Republicans or the Democrats approve of it
Some bullies promote lax national security and lax law enforcement because they know our nations enemies are slaughtering our young men with a poison called fentanyl and they are so full of hate they are willing to help with the slaughter.

I would say that Trump is the one good at obfuscating what is really going on. He describes behavior Canada which is not going on, as only 0.2% of fentanyl comes into the US that way, in order to try and hide what illegal things Musk is doing, and how he is compromising many Americans.

Drugs via Mexico has been a problem for decades. Mexico has worked with the US before to try and stop it.
