WASHINGTON President Donald Trump opened the door Monday to launching U.S. strikes in Mexico, a move that would be a dramatic escalation of his administrations fight against drug cartels. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump answered a question about potentially striking Mexico or sending American troops or other personnel into the country by saying it would be OK with me."
Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. Theres some big problems over there, Trump said after he was asked whether he was considering such action.
Asked whether he would conduct strikes only with Mexicos permission, Trump said he wouldnt answer that question. He added that he has been speaking with the country, adding that Mexico knows how I stand.
Weve stopped the waterways, but we know every route. We know every route, we know the addresses of every drug lord, Trump said. We know their address, we know their front door. We know everything about every one of them. Theyre killing our people. Thats like a war. Would I do it? Id be proud to. The Mexican Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If there is a demand for a product, someone will step up and supply the product.
If Americans did not demand fentanyl, marijuana, opioids, and the like, there would be no clandestine manufacturing and no smuggling.
For example, if Donald Trump Jr. would stop stuffing cocaine up his nose, I'll bet 1/3 of the cocaine traffickers would go out of business.

(606 posts)The longer this maniac is allowed to remain in the White House the higher the human death toll will climb. For the good of all mankind he must be removed and locked up in a facility for the criminally insane and never allowed to see the light of day again for the rest of his miserable sordid life.
This isn't politics anymore. This is a stark reality of a criminal abusing power to murder people. He murdered people during Covid. He murders people on the high seas. He murders people by withholding funds. He murders immigrants. Every halfwit idea that pops into his sick twisted mind eventually causes death. He'll continue to murder people as long as he is in the White House.
End it and him.

He wants to be king of the Americas. Whatever he has to do to get there is a-okay.

proved too difficult because of NATO.
Too bad our southern neighbors don't have an

It is frightening that a large portion of the MAGA cult actually believes this shit. It's truly the rantings of a lunatic.

(1,032 posts)Hes never fought in one, too chicken, but he has no problem having others do the killing or being killed. Hes like a spoiled brat with a new set of toys. He has no problem destroying them and demanding new ones. The thing that makes this a nightmare, is human beings arent toys, unless you are a spoiled rich guy or a dictator.

70% of my travel business is all-inclusives to Mexico and the Caribbean. Jamaica is off the table for the time being, and the Dominican Republic doesn't have enough inventory to meet the demand.
What an a-hole.
