President Trump announced via Truth Social that he had a “wonderful” and “very productive” conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to the announcement, illegal alien migrants will no longer be permitted to traverse Mexico en route to the U.S. southern border.
[SOURCE]
The professional political left is currently in the process of heralding Sheinbaum as the Latin Angela Merkel; a diplomatic trade figure to stand up against horrible bully, Donald Trump. However, the left is having a little difficulty assembling the rank-and-file message while reconciling Sheinbaum is a Jewish Mexican.

Claudia must have read Sundance’s article yesterday and figured out that 50% of her economy is at risk vs. 1% of US economy as regards tariffs.
At least she is pragmatic, upon reflection of reality.
I do think the wisdom of DJT finally opened her eyes to reality. I suspect the conversation was brutally direct.
“Bully” Trump sure has a way with words! Has that talent of clearing the clutter from their view! Now they can clearly see the forest for all those trees!
One simple tweet then a follow up phone call. Now Mexico will cooperate (trust but verify)
Perfect example of how the Uniparty never gave a sh!t about illegal immigrants.
Oh they cared a LOT about illegal immigrants, just not in the way we would imagine. The UNiparty saw dollar signs, not people. It was always about the money.
And the votes.
She should just consult with her mentor and former Pres. of Mexico, Obrador. He’ll let her know how serious PDJT is.
Don’t think the cartels will allow her to be president much longer.
Between Trump closing down the illegal border traffic, and putting the squeeze on China’s fentanyl production, the cartels will have plenty to be concerned about without worrying who Mexico’s current president is. They’re going to lean more heavily on their co-conspirators in the US congress than they ever have on any Mexican president.
That’s a logical assessment.
You can bet that she did long before President Trump got reelected. AMLO was not stupid. He certainly knew that Biden and Harris were a) corrupt, and b) couldn’t pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. He also told her his impressions of Donald Trump, which I’m sure were respectful.
I guarantee he has told his protege, Sheinbaum, that she had better be very conciliatory to Donald Trump as he can make her and Mexico absolutely miserable without much effort at all.
We can talk about money? Or we can talk about money.
But if you want to get straight to the point, let’s talk about money.
Rule number one: Follow the money. And in every business relationship, never forget which way the money is flowing.
No pretending
I suspect the tariff talk turned into F-35s armed under the wings aimed at the cartel enterprise assets
She figures she can agree now and waffle later. Suspect that will not work out as she hopes.
Perhaps she had to show “strength” against the “Hitler bully” ?
Who says tariffs don’t work.
We’ll, they sure don’t for Mexico.
Winnamins!
Like the leather strap and the petulant child. Sometimes only the mere suggestion of the strap’s existence is enough to sway a wayward behavior.
That makes me think…hmm…
This had only recently been “threats” of tariffs…
There is something mighty powerful in that ol’ English language?
so they will send them another route? I don’t think this will happen but AMEN if it does. I don’t trust these people
Yes they always work at it. But it seams like the tariff implications were dire. That won’t change.
We’re going to need more help at the Northern border, which is why Trump put tariffs on Canada stuff.
Skepticism of corrupt Communist politicians – or just corrupt politicians in general – is always warranted!
Can you say “Tom Homan”.
I love seeing him back in fatigues. And I love FAFO attitude towards politicians.
He may have been President Trump’s best appointment. I have high hopes for him.
What about the thousands enroute currently in Mexico. I guess we’ll see that’s what with them.
If they walked that far, they can walk back.
What is the problem?
I agree, but will they be turned back is what I was meaning.
They only walk when the cameras are rolling.
Like I heard somewhere (sorry, no link) how does someone supposedly penniless walk hundreds of miles arrive 100 lbs overweight and with a brand new iPhone? Or something like that.
Maybe the NGOs that sent them can call them a taxi.
.
One reason for including Canada in the threats?
.
.
Or maybe we’ll start seeing boats launching from Belize?
.
NGO’S have been enabling illegals to get on boats in Cancun….Shipped to Miami. Yep . For 2 years at least. Dem approved this message.
Time to readjust NGO cost/benefit analysis.
Time to expose them as Derps and Communist Conspirators.
NGO Reform is an absolute necessity for the freedom of the world.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
The CATHOLIC Church is the biggest facilitator of illegal aliens.
They have been paid 100s of millions to aid and abet the illegal invader hordes.
Canada is an integral part of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
Well, if the illegals are coming from the South and not using Mexico they have to be very good swimmers.
Or just catch a plane, after all Joe is paying….with our money.
Chinese illegals are smuggled in through Cuba/Florida. They’re mostly Fuzhounese speakers and are indentured slaves until they can pay their way to freedom. Most work at Chinese buffets and it seems the gov intentionally overlooks most of them.
I don’t trust the drug users in America.
Will the DemonRats try and charge Trump with conspiracy and treason using the Logan Act because he is talking to a foreign leader in Mexico and making deals while he is not authorized to do so by the present U.S. government?
that was my thought too.
It certainly would be a disappointment to you Democrats if Trump was able to avoid World War III.
I agree with you Poison, cherokeepeople, and Onekama Man. They hated the Abraham Accords and will never stand for secure American borders, the elimination of fentanyl, or the prevention of World War III. You can be certain there are two dozen miscreants at the DOJ researching the Logan Act as we speak.
Exactly!
Remember back in the days when democrats wore flowers in their hair and had Peace Protests?
Good times…good times….
But even then they were violent. I was alive and I remember very well.
Mine too!
Cutesy time is over there are no rules the law fare has proven it they are running like roaches there not looking back for a lawsuit there running!
I never underestimate the evil DemonRats. These are people willing to go to nuclear war to continue their grift and power.
That’s because you are basically a good person. Your brain doesn’t do evil.
True dat! Amen!
Hopefully
He’s not President until January 20, so I suppose he can make all the informal deals he wants.
That doesn’t stop these evil DemonRats. Remember they created a new law in New York State to go after PDJT regarding Cindy Adams. The DemonRats are psychopaths.
Don’t forget about Blago…he was essentially convicted on a thought crime…so you know TPTB are doing a deep search on ‘how to get him’ before 01/20/2025.
well I would imagine…
that would reignite the 2020 election theft case
and would then have “standing” in a court to prove
that no logan act was violated.
so i say….. bring it!
Excellent point Deborah. But then they might come back with, “he can’t serve three terms”. A conundrum for sure.
Easy. This would then be Biden’s first term he’s serving.
I recall, that there had been those exact discussions when Trump did not concede to Bribem back in 2020. Then ‘radio silence’.
What if they resurrect Sally Q. (Quisling) Yates and Mary McCord showing up at the WH wanting to discuss the Logan Act?
Extremely unlikely..
https://fedsoc.org/commentary/fedsoc-blog/the-logan-act-an-introduction
FTA: “As with members of Congress, the foregoing factors might counsel hesitancy to apply the Logan Act to the activities of presidential transition teams after a presidential election. The purpose of the transition is to smooth the way for the new administration, and in the diplomatic field that seems necessarily to involve speaking with foreign governments about matters of dispute.
Indeed, this seems a vital activity to reduce uncertainty during the transition. It is likely that members of transitions teams of other incoming Presidents have routinely discussed pending disputes with foreign officials without raising Logan Act concerns.
The Act’s goal of preventing private diplomacy is far removed from the context of presidential transitions, and there were no quasi-official transition teams at the time the Act was passed. Thus the history and purpose of the Act may suggest that it should not apply to transition teams.
Moreover, one might see designated members of a transition team have a sort of official status, having been selected by the President-elect, who in turn has a quasi-official status as a result of the election.
Indeed, the presidential transition process is formally established by law: the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, as amended, provides funding, facilities and access to government services for the transition team. Thus, although the diplomatic activities of the transition team may not have been directly authorized by the existing Executive Branch, like the activities of members of Congress they might be seen as done with “the authority of the United States” due to the transition’s quasi-official status and the longstanding purpose and practice of transitions. “
Shame on Don McGann for letting Commie, Yates & McCord get away with spearing Flynn.
And frankly that was the day that I knew Judas Pence was a subversive plant.
I agree. However, these DemonRats have judges like in Washington DC who agree with them.
Is there a statute of limitations for charging someone with the Logan Act? “Someone, who is a huge climate change creature, wandered the globe speaking with heads of state during PDJT’s first administration, and he was not appointed ambassador in any way. It’s funny how his initials are the same as the 35th POTUS’s.
Yes. They wanted to hit General Flynn with the Logan Act (it was VP Biden’s idea) but went another route when they thought it wouldn’t stick. But never doubt the dishonesty of D.C. judges to ignore the law.
Last time, PDJT was told he couldn’t fire Comey without facing impeachable”obstruction” charges. This time the SCOTUS ruling gives POTUS full authority to fire any DOJ prosecutor and even a Democrat Congress couldn’t impeach him.
He had that authority before but was afraid to use it after listening to bad legal counsel.
I have wondered the same thing.
My question as well.
“The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government’s position.”
It seems to me, and I’m no legal eagle, that this Maladministration doesn’t have a dispute with Mexico. They have been just fine with Mexico allowing 15,000,000+ illegals to traverse Mexico to get to the US. The Mexican officials as well as the US officials got their cut from the cartels…so no problema.
According to Mayorkas there is no dispute.
They can try all they want. Trump is simply “thinking out loud” about what he might do once in office. He has taken no action other than posting thoughts or plans.
If his history of doing what he says rattles some third world despots to the point they start speed-dialing HIM, tough cookies.
The greatest thing President Trump will ever accomplish is showing America that something can be done. We no longer have to listen to BS excuses from politicians about why something is not fixed. President Trump has already shown tough problems can be solved just by the willingness to try.
Secure border, no wars, ending illegal immigration, accountability, tax cuts, eliminating regulation, proper trade deals, creating jobs, delivering energy.
He has done it all and has eliminated their excuses.
.
No. Logan Act does not apply because this is consistent with U.S. law. Moreover, except for discussions to or among Congressers, on 1/25 he would be able to prosecute everyone involved who tries such sh with conspiracy to break federal immigration laws.
(By the way “treason” requires assisting enemy with whom we are at war.)
.
I like your explanation. However, these DemonRats are not reasonable people. Remember lawfare was working for them until PDJT won the 2024 election by a landslide in the electoral and popular vote. If Trump lost the election his only hope was to win all of his cases in the Supreme Court. I do not trust, Amy, John, Neil, or Brett to side with Clarance and Sam and agree with Trump. Trump may have lost his cases in the Supreme Court and the DemonRats would have said it’s poetic justice that Trump lost his cases because of the three judges he appointed, Neil, Brett, and Amy.
Sedition is the applicable term.
Is he talking deals in violation of the Logan Act, or is he simply reminding them that he will be enforcing the terms of the trade agreements that were made during his first term?
Food for thought…the ‘Transition’ agreement has recently been signed…without using the ‘benefits’ of deep state IT, if I am not mistaken? Yet most of us are of the belief that the abilities of the different intelligence org’s have capabilities beyond our imagination…? Am waiting patiently for the ‘leaks’ of the conversation, to emerge….
This has me worried. He did this before he took office the 1st time and they nailed him.
Well that’s a great start. 😁
I’m gonna love all the winning we’re gonna do.
Scooby dooby doo!
PDJT never stops working on our behalf. He is a once in a lifetime force.
We are a necessary force to demand and support this change in direction – back to MAGA-MAHA_MASA_MAWA.
I grew up in that former era. I want you to enjoy it too.
It’s a beautiful thing to behold!
As is Mr Sundance!
Let me guess, now that PT has stopped the invasion of our country in 24 hrs, the RINO’s will probably plot with the left to impeach PT come 1/21/25 for talking to Mexico when he wasn’t officially the President.
I’d stay 70% of the country or more wants a secure border and mass deportation of illegals. We all know impeachment would be a purely political move – one the Swamp would lose from the get go.
FYI
THE Mexican people want a secure southern border as well. These invaders are taking jobs from Mexicans as well…will slow to a trickle. Now.
I am totally wore out, winning is tiring!!!!!
sarc
Didn’t she call him first? He just clued her in on his plans!
If she thought she had leverage with a counter-tarriff, she forgets that we could put a tax on the remissions sent to Mexico each week, thereby putting the screws to her economy in a very direct way….less bucks going south to spend and she’d have to pay attention to caring for her poor and downtrodden.
“I just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico. She has agreed that she doesn’t want to lose her job, so she agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border, among many other things. Sounds good, but we’ll watch and see. PS – there will be no reciprocal, punative tariffs on US goods sold in Mexico.”
Multi-culturalism can be a tricky thing to navigate ……. especially if you are a Democrat and hate at least one sub-group.
Just one?
I’d like to say something mean and disparaging about her and the globalist elite leftist pigs but I wont
It would only be an insult to all the swine out there.
Never any doubt, it was a matter of Trump time 😀
Biden relegated to the closet, and kamala is in the bottle..
the lefts melt down is going to be so delicious!
There is no doubt who is NOW running the country ;D
Harris is probably working on her new book Not a Thing Comes to Mind.
Is that the latest book Lebron James is reading?
Yes, but it’s been slow going . . .
I heard it went to press on November 6th…
ROFLOL!!! Good one!
Yup, DJT is already the de facto president.
Well that didn’t take long!
I blame Sundance for showing Sheinbaum that she was in her way to becoming an adjective….
Example: ‘It was a great Thanksgiving day until I pulled a Sheinbaum by dunking my totally wet Turkey in a vat of boiling peanut oil!’
They got religion.
Reagan: “Trust, but verify”.
I don’t think Sheinbaum can get this done, without military help from the USA. Mexico is essentially in the middle of a lukewarm to hot civil war between the corrupt (by definition) Cartels (both drug and people trafficking sort), and the corrupt Mexican government (corrupt in practice). I think she’d be assassinated by either of those forces before she could actually implement the expressed policy goal.
Mexico is essentially a gangland, and before any of our good Mexican friends object, the USA is hardly much better. But there is hope for both countries, via Constitutional law successfully applied to the thugs.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
It’s logistically easier for Mexico to shut down their Southern border. Same effect. No more caravans.
And planes into Mexico.
And a return to God and His Laws, for both countries. For the entire world!
I wonder what the Cartels and their donors in DC think about all of this. Color me skeptical. When the money train is threatened, things could get ugly.
I’d say a $Trillion dollars so far should be good for all parties involved, but greed is a powerful thing!
Cartels are worried about the “ugly” about to be released in their direction.
Gee, what took him so long? LOL
Trust but verify.
The Lame Duck is the Invisible Lame Duck now.
“… Come out with your pants down!”
She might have realized the magnitude of the trade imbalance and had a good think in the last few days. Probably never had to deal with someone as direct as the 47th POTUS.
I have never seen a President use economic leverage as effectively. It is amazing.
That’s because he can’t be bought off by the cartels like the other folks.
“The Art of the Deal”
The Communist WILL bow before The Capitalist!
LOL…more in one phone call…a perfect phone call no doubt…
Another impeachment in the works for a phone call.
Reasonable Doubt…Artificial Intelligence?
Anything About taking them back
That will probably have to wait until 1/20/25 after the inauguration.
“…heralding Sheinbaum as the Latin Angela Merkel”
That’s pretty rich. Germany is essentially toast now and everyone knows why.
Thank you so very much dear President D. J. Trump!!!
It feels so good to have a President again!!!
You said it sister!
A president who is publicly gracious in victory, allowing his opponent to save face.
That’s called diplomacy, and President Trump is very good at it.
I find this odd because I listened to an address by Sheinbaum saying the opposite.
Does she have different messages for different audiences?
Will she keep her word?
We will wait and see.
If she doesn’t keep her word she will suffer the consequences. Pretty simple.
Thar was 12 plus hours ago!
Things change!
We are living in Trump Time now!
Things move fast here!
Likely had some advisors give her some facts.
Claudia Sheinbaum. Well dont that grease your grits.
She’s related to Judge Judy! 😉
She never had a chance.
Shun drug use. Stop enabling it. Stop ignoring it. Make drug use bad again.
Enter now, the Medical Industrial Complex…where so called ‘behavioral health’ medicine does very little except give one the visual impression of ‘helping’ those who need it…with a very high price tag, paid by either the consumer of the medical product offered by the MIC… or tax payer..
Effective immediately?? Wahoo! MAGA
YAY !!!
Blow up the China funded Darian Gap bridge. Only value is for drug and illegal traffic.
We (Mayorkas) turned our own military installations in that area into hostels, essentially providing lodging, food, and accommodations for the weary travelers through the Darien Gap. 🤬🤮
His finances need to be analyzed, pronto!
And brought up on charges of treason!
.
I like civil forfeiture. Treasury needs money. A credible allegation of financing terrorism or trafficking in children, among other things.

.
And has been that way for several generations…
Donald Trump isn’t yet president, but is already changing foreign policy with his promises of imminent actions!!!
Daddy is pulling in the driveway now, kids…
This is a parent who sticks to his promise of consequences for poor behavior and poor choices…
President Sheinbaum, after all the bluster about tariffs to be placed on the US, it turns out that taking on the real President Trump and the economy, you are woefully inept.
Proving yet again when a business man is given task, he tells you how he will get it done, on time and under costs.
Give a task to a government employee and they tell you why it can’t be done, why they need hire more people and why need much more money.
NAILED IT!!!
Well done. Now if he can figure out a way to stop the current regime from secretly flying illegals into the US in the dead of night, instead of waiting until January.
go after the airlines!
I’m sure the money is funneled to them also!
.
This already breaks federal law. Five year statute of limitations. I think maybe threaten arrests and it will stop real quick.
.
Tell them their planes will be forfeit.
Whoa…we gotta make sure its the planes that are not compromised by shoddy parts and workmanship.
We can’t give the airlines and such, like LMT or Northrup Grumman an ‘out’ to offload inferior planes.
Mexico is becoming more like America every day. Now they have a president who, like so many Americans, has immediate ancestry coming from “somewhere else”. Here maternal grandparents came to Mexico from Bulgaria, her paternal grandparents from Lithuania.
Mexico Does not want to be like America. Mexico has religious moral values. My wife is Yucateca. She asks me frequently why USA shunned God? I tell her communism infiltrated the university’s. Now the gobermnt.
Pray Dios returns.
In retrospect, I should have opened my post with “Whether they like it or not, Mexico is becoming more like America every day.”
They are a sovereign nation. They can, and should have autonomous control of their own destiny. It’s up to them to maintain that control.
Well, if President Trump can negotiate a deal with Mexico, he can also negotiate a deal with Russia and Ukraine to end that war now, not 50 days from now.
Exactly! President Trump is probably doing so already.
It doesn’t take long for realities to take hold, especially when 2 adult leaders of clear minds converse together.
we haven’t had any of that for the last 4 years.
There had been discussion of a substantial tax on money transfers (remittances) which are a significant portion of the Mexican economy. I don’t know if or how that played into her decision. Of course, if 30 million illegals are repatriated to MX that source of national income could dry up entirely or almost so.
And very quickly.
Not yet sworn in and he’s already making things better.
Meanwhile in Canadistan, leaders are debating waging war.
https://x.com/govt_corrupt/status/1861498378690957753?s=42
President Trump is just asking Singh to police their border. He’s not asking Singh to use .58 Caliber Enfield Cartridges!
I believe DJT is magnanimous in such affairs as this. He is sincere and genuine, and wants to work with Mexico. He has the wisdom to see a way that will benefit both nations. To belittle or act as a bully is not productive. It’s the old carrot and stick approach.
If she is smart she will partner with the US to go after the Cartels and maybe regain control of the other 80% of her country.
I just took another winnamin.
Trump gave Pardo a win by acknowledging that US demand for (consumption of) drugs is part of the problem.
out of nowhere she barks…..knowing that trump would responed….all of a sudden she changes her mind….the situation is in control…put it on the back burner…..is this real?…..was she on the phone earlier with trump hating globalist and this is crossfire tropical storm…..afterall….they did try to kill trump twice…..be very cynical……oh, and they have AI to help them now……have you ever tried to beat a chess game on level 10?……utter failure
So now it’s undeniable. This entire immigration invasion was instigated by the Biden administration with foreign governments directed to facilitate the horde. This was not asylum, not fleeing oppression, it was what we all knew the whole time. It was the democrats operation to oppress the US population through replacement migration and to cancel our opportunity to correct the course by voting.
But… but tariffs don’t work!
Can’t you feel the inflation already? LOL
Want to bet on that? Oh yeah, they work REALLY well when someone with courage applies them. That’s one thing about President Trump. The rest of the world KNOWS he’s both smart and dead serious. He’s NOT a man to trifle with.
