Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo revealed that the U.S. agreed to curb gun smuggling into Mexico—something omitted from Trump’s statement about their call.
While Trump announced that Mexico would send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border, he did not mention this key concession.
Studies show 68–90% of traced firearms in Mexico originate from or pass through the U.S.
The tariff pause follows Mexico’s commitment to increased border security, but Sheinbaum’s disclosure highlights a significant aspect Trump did not publicly acknowledge.
More guns flow into Mexico than flow into the U.S. — a fact that Vice President J.D. Vance was corrected on during the vice-presidential debate.
Hey, hey, hey now!
You guys said you weren’t going to fact check
He’s not going to, which is why he didn’t mention it. He probably forgot he promised as soon as he said he would.
The majority of illegal immigrants comes over legally through ports of entry and just out stay their visas. Mexico is laughing as they pretend to send 10,000 troops to the boarder to watch dirt.
to watch dirt
Nah. Those people will have a lot to do stopping weapons smuggling into Mexico.
The weapons are purchased legally by Americans and simply driven over. Also through legal ports of entry. It’s not this complicated process.
Well if it isn’t my old nemesis, unintended consequences.
I would be so tickled if this was the catalyst for stricter gun laws and enforcement.
When fascists start trying to get stricter on guns, it’s time to buy more of them.
He has two tricks:
-
Accepting deal wins that aren’t wins - So a child had two cookies, you took them both, he starts crying, you give him one of the cookies to soothe him and you eat the other in front of him while he laughs and thinks he’s winning. In this examples, trump is the baby.
-
Or, unseen solutions to imaginary problems or problems he created himself - Covers your house in gasoline, sits in a chair and throws lit matches towards it. Then says loudly, NOBODY IS GONNA BURN THIS HOUSE DOWN, YOU GOT IT! And then waits for you to thank him.
-
Trump emerges from this fiasco looking like the bitch that he is.
As always, if your source for anything is “trump said”, you really don’t have a source. Just gotta ignore everything he says, it just feeds him.
I didn’t need Claudia to tell us that Trump folded and didn’t actually make any deals.
Just like Mexico cant stop the flow of drugs America wont be able to stop the flow of guns. Where there is demand people will find a way.
Isn’t this mostly just for show for his base anyway? “See! I’m doing what I said I’d do!”
