Colombian President Loses Game of Chicken with Trump, Offers to Fly Back Illegals on His Own Plane 6 Minutes Later

President Donald Trump is not the man to play a game of chicken with.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro learned that lesson Sunday in short order after choosing to test the newly re-elected U.S. leader's resolve.

They seem a bit scared to criticize Trump at the moment, they know the people are fed up and want this over with. Help or get out of the way.

The only South American country that could come close to chinning up to Trump is Mexico.

Opening its northern border to all who want to cross, a pause on actions against the cartels operating there and standing back while mom-and-pop home basement fentanyl makers send their product up north, are ways Mexico could disrupt the Trump Administration's southern border actions.

It would be fatal for Mexico.

I think if Mexico eased on drugs it would give Trump cause to seal the border tight and he would.

No, the US-Mexico border has long been Mexico's chip in the big game with US administrations.

Any military or economically brutal action against Mexico will blow back into the US.

These are two nations locked into an in-divorceable marriage.

Dang - the conspiracy theories will be greater than those around the JFK hit (six men at least - trained etc, and who changed the route at the last minute to put his car right in the middle of the cross-fire from three directions?) ... now when the hit comes, it will be a toss-up between the drug cartels, the Mehicans, the Democrats, the Chinese, the Russians, Hamas and other ME nuts ... only one of which can take the prize...... I can't see any of those co-operating.....

I vote for a single crazed loner gunman who just happened to fire 3-4 weapons of different calibres from different directions at the same time.... cunning bastard ...

"I'm a patsy!"

Trump's southern border policy coup requires massive initial public success with its low-hanging fruit first wave: the successful deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.

Mexicans know how to be poor, so US tariffs are not as terrifying to them as they are to Canadians.

US military action in Mexico will likely galvanise all Mexicans with firebrand patriotic zeal, rally South American countries to Mexico's cause and force an 'unholy ' alliance between the cartels and the Mexican government.

Any CIA action to overthrow the Mexican government would be the death knell of the Trump Administration.

You are not reading Trump well here, Trump does not start where he expects to finish. You have to find what he wants to make a deal.

Not terrifying to Mexicans or Canadians, seeing as the tariffs are paid by the US importers and then ultimately by the US consumer.

The average US consumers (70 million of them Trump voters) are the ones who will become poorer.
