Have you seen Mexico's response to Trump's tariff increase? Go Claudia!

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:
“So, you voted to build a wall.
Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.
And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.'
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.
They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywood films in favour of higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe, which offer richer narratives and better cinematography.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and instead visit the Xcaret resort in Cancun, or explore destinations in Mexico, Canada, South America, and Europe.
Even in Mexico, you’ll find better hamburgers than McDonald's, with superior nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the U.S.?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan all have ancient wonders—none of them in the U.S.
If they did, Trump would probably have bought and sold them by now.
We know that Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand—there’s Adidas, and even Mexican brands like Panam.
We understand the economy more than you think.
And we also know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy—trapped within its self-imposed wall—will crumble to the point where you'll beg us to tear it down.
We didn’t want to do this, but... You wanted a wall?
Well, you got one.”
Her approval ratings to historical levels, with one recent poll putting her support at 85 percent!
And this is just the beginning of the foreign fallout coming our way, compliments of our Führer.
As tensions continue to rise, and the world watches closely, and many fear that we are on the brink of a crisis that could reshape global politics for years to come.
Thanks again, MAGATS! You own this and what is to come!
It’s refreshing to see a woman bitchslap Trump!
Well done!

    She is right about all that. But I bet if Trump read it - all he would see is that she has an approval rating of 85% and by the end of the day he would be claiming that she is a nasty woman that nobody likes and she has a very low approval rating and a very low IQ.  Cheers!

    I'd be willing to bet that on her worst day, she's ten times smarter than Trump on his best day.  He already has a nasty name for her "Shinybum" which just goes to show how insecure he is about himself - especially being talked back to by a woman - and a JEWISH-MEXICAN woman at that!

    ANYONE (outside those in the white house or in his maga circle) is smarter than trump.  A dead amoeba is smarter than trump.

    Well I would rather be a Shinybum than a Fattybutt. I am starting to see that even if Trump dropped all the tariffs on all the countries he placed tariffs on – those countries will still look for and find new friendly and reliable trading partners. Cheers!

    She has intelligence!   Too bad some of it won't wear off on trump... but then again, he hates latinos (and canadians, and europeans, and asians - heck, he hates the entire world - save Russian and N. Korea).  trump's isolationist attitude will backfire - sooner rather than later.  NO ONE "needs" the US (a fact the US is about to learn the hard way).  trump is stuck in the 18th/19th century.  Things don't work that way anymore (but history was never his strong point).

    Trump: - Knock knock.

    The World: - Who’s There?

    Trump: - Marco.

    The World: - Marco who?

    Trump: - Just Marco – I had to drop the Polo because nobody would trade with me.

    Cheers!
