The Fear-Monger-in-Chief foments about Mexico's inability to stop migration from Central America to America. More brown skins threaten the comfort and safety of his base. Closing the southern border and stopping trade with Mexico will make the base feel like their hero is strong and tough, especially against the people needing protection from the cartels and drug gangs, and make Mexicans realize that they are dealing with a determined, incoherent, and petulant dictator. 

Perhaps the President of Mexico should tell the Moron-and-Barely-Innocent-Liar-in-Chief that doing something to help end America's apparently insatiable appetite for cartel drugs would be far more productive than trade threats. 

Unfortunately, because meth and cocaine, heroin and fentanyl are not produced and sold by the drug companies that contribute to his campaigns, it is far easier to threaten Mexico than it is to do anything meaningful to stop the opioid pushing from Big Pharma and 21st Century Medici families. 

Better to have Mulvaney, Pompeo, Conway, and Miller defend his moronic and racist policies than to do anything intelligent about the problems. Intelligence is not something TrumPutin has any faith in.
