Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she rejected an offer by President Donald Trump to send US troops across the border to help combat drug trafficking.
“We can collaborate, we can work together, but you in your territory, we in ours,” Sheinbaum said at a university opening on Saturday, revealing details on what she said to Trump in a phone call after he made the proposal.
Right move. He really thinks everyone’s as stupid as he is, or his supporters.
Not that he won’t press the matter further, or even try to do it anyway if he sees the chance.
The only appropriate response to someone who is used to take others by force is a complete rejection and threat of painful consequences, since that’s what savage Neanderthals respond to. Give an inch, he’ll take Mexico whole.
