WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is threatening to slap tariffs on cars coming to the U.S. from Mexico unless the Mexicans do more to stop the flow of migrants trying to enter the U.S.

Trump had threatened to close down the border this week unless Mexico immediately halted “ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States,” but he backtracked Thursday. He told reporters he would try the “less drastic measure” before resorting to his standing border-closure threat.

He will visit the border Friday during a trip to California.

It was the latest, seemingly sudden attempt at new leverage by a president struggling to solve what his administration has called a border “crisis.”

Blaah blaah blaah... the impotent psycho is at it again. The Mealy mouthed troglodyte will put us in the crapper yet, just to satisfy his need to feel like a big man. Little brain, little hands, little weenie. 💩
DO, who is the one that needs to be fished out of “the crapper?” Have you ever read “The Art of the Deal?” President Trump’s best selling book shares his negotiating strategies. Instead of learning, my little rude punk, you open that big mouth and insult. Here we have a proven loser (you) insulting the President of the United States. What is your net worth, in Billions? How many people do you employ? What strategy did you employ to create the best economy America has ever had? You are a liberal whack job with mental illness. I am going to stuff your ignorant thoughts right back down your throat. You are a big mouth with low intellect. Everybody sees your idiocy. On top of your cognitive dysfunction you exhibit vulgar tendencies that you should be ashamed of. Keep it up. You are in need of help. Seek out a therapist before you damage yourself.
OK That's a THREAT! YOU"RE DONE LOSER! The true colors of the trump trooper! See you in Court.
Since you're a tough guy, turn yourself in and save the Police and Law abiding citizens the money and turn yourself in to the authorities. You just crapped in your own pants. LOL... Repiort will be filed today. None of this Administrative BS. You've just and a direct threat. Cops, lawyers and press. You drew first blood dumbass. And , learn the Deffintion of "Cognitive Dissonance' BEFORE YOU MAKE AN ASS OF YOURSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN....
DO, you are just a rude condescending insulting punk. You come on to the TN site where social discourse is welcome. Opinions would ordinarily be welcome. Instead, you threaten everyone. You can’t even be cordial. I am going to take your insults and stuff them right back down that big mouth. When you are wrong, I am going to make you eat it. You are a big mouthed fraud. Now, we find out you are a crybaby too. Clean up your dirty act. Stop insulting others. Also, take spelling lessons. Stop insulting the President of the United States...that is treason.
Driving deals is second nature to Trump. They'll pay for a chunk the wall in tariffs alone.
