    Don’t worry, his supporters think he did great because not a single one of them can think for themselves for even a moment.

      A bunch of people on Lemmy decided he did great and achieved what he wanted. And when you show them things like how he actually had to bend a knee to Sheinbaum and give her concessions just to get her to send a few Mexican national guard troops to the border, they don’t care.

        If you only focus on one part of the story to make shitbaum look good, then yes, of course you’re going to be right… But I guess we better disregard the comments from the people living in México. Not surprised at all, btw.

          Whereas I’m not surprised someone decided to chime in and come to Trump’s defense.

          I have read plenty of comments of people living in Mexico, by the way. Apparently not the ones you want me to read, but you didn’t provide them. Feel free.

            The sole fact that you took my comment as a defense for the cheeto speaks volumes, that’s all there is to know

              Yep. That’s what I thought. You didn’t actually provide the comments you said I didn’t read.

              Sorry, I’m not one of your fellow psychics. You’ll have to use words.

                Sure, whatever you want to believe for yourself. Shitbaum no.1 and best thing to happen to México, totally not our version of the cheeto. Keep on… Whatever you are trying to do.

                  Well I can’t believe you since you won’t provide any evidence for your claims.

                  I was trying to get you to provide the quotes you want me to read, but apparently this is a “trust me, bro” situation.
