Trump on Mexico - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

POTUS wants his wall, he is thinking he got the North Korean leader to a Summit by being tough and being seen as a real threat to the North Korean Regime.   Thus the Trump Oval thinks that if he is tough with Mexico he can get  a good deal with a new NAFTA.  Also NAFTA was seen as the main domestic success of the Bill Clinton Administration, either way Trump wins, if he walks away it will be seen by Trump supporters as a win, if there is a new agreement then Trump can say that only he could get a good deal for the US.   Thus as stated a win whatever the outcome.   Also if Trump does walk away, it will be seen as another hit for HRC not winning in 2016, it might be petty, but it makes politics fun. 

Trump blames Democrats over DACA and Mexico over Immigration! - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

When POTUS is peeved about the press that he gets, he goes on a Twitter fury, as to if he is being real about DACA and NAFTA that is open to question.   If DACA goes down the toilet it would be seen as a good thing by Trump supporters, the same with NAFTA, when it comes to immigration the Trump supporter thinks the US has to much of them, and as for NAFTA it seen as killing old job structures and allowing cheaper goods in to the US, thus harming home produced products.   On the whole POTUS has seen a surge in his approval ratings, that might be the US economy is on fire, unemployment is down to figures not seen since 1973, the stock market has taken a hit but still a better investment in the long term.   Also one has to factor in the tax cuts of the first year of the Trump Presidency.   POTUS has stated he is running for a 2nd term, one would be foolish to think that Trump can not win a 2nd term.  Every President since Reagan has gotten a 2nd term, with the exception of Bush 41, and he lost because he raised taxes when he promised not too.  The Democrats have no firm leader, and Trump has a Summit with the leader of North Korea, that should be interesting, what if Trump has a successful Summit, that could help him in 2020.
