Helter Skelter: Mexico, Iran, Australia, Yemen

I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it." I guess I assumed that meant troops going "into" Mexico because how else would he take care of the bad hombres? I don't expect he would just shoot at them from the border.

But again, the issue is not whether he actually said "into," it is the insulting tone taken with an ally and trade partner and the threat.

I gave you three links, but again again, this one, which I quoted regarding the children, has the numbers I gave.

I am not the only one who thinks Trump's judgment was bad in this case:

But the Mexican government is denying that he was ever insulting or hostile.
