LOS ANGELES.–Slapping the always negative fake news in the face, 62-year-old Mexican President said she had a good conversation with 78-year-old President-elect Donald Trump saying she thought there was good chance Mexico would avoid the kind of tariffs Trump talked about. Democrats Senators and House members went to the fake news to warn about Trump creating his own inflation with common goods imported from Mexico, from cars to agriculture. After a crushing blow in the Nov. 5 election, Democrats and the fake news have nothing to do but make up false narratives about Trump generating more inflation by slapping Mexico, Canada and China with more tariffs. “There will be no potential tariff war,” Sheinbaum said about after talking to Trump making the fake news look more fake than ever. Trump threats of tariffs was always about gain compliance from Mexico, Canada and China.
In a normal transition, Trump would be admonished for speaking to foreign leaders before he takes the oath-of-office. But in today’s extraordinary circumstances, no one trusts 82-year-old President Joe Biden to do his job, spending more time out of the public view than ever. Biden was even caught up in the Democrat press feeding frenzy on the red herring related to tariffs. Democrats and the fake news was blindsided when Sheinbaum said he had a constructive conversation with Trump and was on the same page with it comes to immigration across the Mexican border. Biden chimed in say he hoped Trump would rethink the tariff issue. “I hope he rethinks it. I think it’s a counterproductive thing to do,” Biden said, buying the fake news, not understanding how Trump uses the threat of tariffs to gain concessions from foreign governments like China, Mexico and Canada.
Biden has little to say to his VP Kamala Harris or to Trump who will be sworn in Jan. 20, 2025, regretting his decision to drop out of the race July 21. Biden was pressured to get out of the 2024 race because polls showed him losing to Trump by wide margins. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former President Barack Obama urged Biden in the strongest possible way to drop out of the race. Now that Kamala lost to Trump by wide margins, Biden no longer feels inclined to give Kamala much respect. Biden still thinks he would have given Trump a run for his money, something he did in 2020. But Biden was know quantity in 2020, serving eight years as Vice President. No one can underestimate the fear voters had dealing with Covid-19, watching their family an friends drop like flies from the pandemic.
All of Trump talk of tariffs have been grossly exaggerated in the fake knew, warning the public about more inflation. But the public vote for Trump and they trust him to do the right thing when it comes to the economy and foreign policy. Biden has been a disaster with his runaway inflation and foreign wars all destabilizing European and world peace. Trump’s talk of tariffs is purely a tool to get Mexico, Canada and China to give the U.S. more favorable trading terms, or, in the case of Mexico, get the Mexican government to do more to shore up the porous U.S. border. Describing her conversation with Trump as “excellent,” Sheinbaum rained on the fake news, pulling the rug out from underneath more fake stories. Fake news doesn’t get that voters want to give Trump as chance to do his thing with tariffs.
Fears of higher avocado prices have been grossly hyped in the fake news because they have no clue whether Trump would ever use tariffs as anything other than a psychological tool to gain compliance on the fentanyl issues, where street drugs keep streaming across the Mexican border. Sheinbaum said her conversation with Trump was “excellent,” something the fake news never admits, that Trump has superior diplomatic skills to Biden. Biden has allowed events to get out of hand with runaway inflation and foreign wars raging out of control. Biden’s approach to diplomacy with Russia and China has been abysmal, plunging relations to the lowest level of the Cold War. Democrats and the press don’t like to acknowledge that Trump has superior diplomatic skills to Biden, dealing with America’s adversaries and allies.
Trump has already had a big impact on domestic and foreign policy since winning the Nov. 5 election. Foreign leaders, whether adversaries or allies, know that Trump has the experience and skill to pull of unexpected events, like ending foreign wars. If Kamala were to have won the election, the U.S. would be faced with unending foreign wars and little hope for the future. Democrats and the fake news found out what it’s like to have a mature adult running domestic and foreign policy. Wall Street likes what it sees with Trump but so do foreign adversaries expressing hope that a new era of world diplomacy can replace Biden’s reckless, destructive and costly foreign wars. Trump hasn’t taken his oath yet but he’s already impacting world events, with Russia expressing hope for better U.S. relations.
