.MaddowBlog: Senate Minority Leader Schumer riles Pres. Trump with talk of ‘bluffing’ on Mexico, tariffs.
If Donald Trump follows through on his threat, in just five days, the president will begin imposing new trade tariffs on all products imported from Mexico. The only way for Mexico to avoid the tax penalty would be to satisfy unspecified White House demands about stemming the flow of immigration.
“Now, frankly, I don’t believe that President Trump will actually go through with the tariffs…. President Trump has a habit of talking tough and then retreating. Because his policies often can’t be implemented or don’t make sense. President Trump has a habit of proposing asinine and dangerous policies before backing off. And President Trump has a habit of pretending that the very act of not following through on a misguided policy is somehow a victory.
The Republican apparently heard about the remarks and took time away from his trip to the U.K. to issue a response via Twitter: Putting Trump’s juvenile rhetoric aside, the back and forth is actually part of an interesting political dispute that’s unfolding this week.
