I understand he would have that ability I just don’t think he’d actually do it. I’m sure with a conservative supreme court he could do a lot of horrible shit (they’re managing to do that without a republican president already). I just don’t think starting a war with Mexico would be one of those things.
It’s not a defence of Trump just analysis of reality. He said before his first term that he was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it and has done neither.
Also some people are clearly not reading the article he talks about using special forces or drones against cartels. Again I dont think hed do that either but that’s not a land grab invasion that’s comparable to Russia in Ukraine it’s something US has already done in places in the middle east that they aren’t directly at war with. They’ve done that sort of shit under Democratic leaders. I don’t think either is a good idea but I think people losing shit over everything Trump says just adds to the polarization and is counter productive but really good for the media.
Yea except that one of those things has actually happened while the other one is Trump just pandering to xenophobes with no indention of actually doing shit.
Yea luckily you don’t have to risk anything on me because we’re just discussing an opinion piece here
