What's this?

And there they are. Predictable as night and day, or better yet, as Trump's

ineffective "government" by brinksmanship.

What's next? That our 2nd largest agriculture trading partner all along "HAS AGREED TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN BUYING LARGE QUANTITIES OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT FROM OUR GREAT PATRIOT FARMERS"?

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1137329348409778177

- U.S. total exports of agricultural products to Mexico totaled $20 billion in 2018, our 2nd largest agricultural export market. Leading domestic export categories include: corn ($3.1 billion), soybeans ($1.7 billion), dairy products ($1.4 billion), pork & pork products ($1.3 billion), and beef & beef products ($1.1 billion).
