Trump backs off threat to close the U.S.-Mexico border

President Donald Trump on Thursday backed off his threat to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border, marking his second major climbdown this week.

The reversal comes after fellow Republicans, business groups and even some of his own aides warned him of dire economic consequences if Trump moved forward with his threat. The about-face is the second major one for Trump in a week — the president appeared to bow from public pressure earlier this week when he said he had decided to punt pushing any major health care legislation until after the 2020 election, despite his Justice Department supporting a lawsuit to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.Sign Up

Pathetic. Incompetent. Dangerous.

Trump cave in. As usual.

Do it. Please close the border. That will make everyone hate you even more.

Awww a lot of MAGA’s will be pissed again. For two weeks I’ve heard them scream “Shut the border down” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor Maga’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣

See - being a bully DOESN'T WORK.

FLIP FLOPPER

Subject to a Trump tanty..

who are you to have influence over this decision LOL GoldmanSachs NobodyKnows NobodyNeeds NobodyCares

Trump will be voted out of office in the 2020 election. Mexico will be here and Trump will be gone.

BETO: 'The rhetoric of a president who not only describes immigrants as rapists & criminals but as animals & an infestation ... I might expect someone to describe another human being as an infestation in the Third Reich. I would not expect that in the United States of America.”
