Mexico’s president isn’t playing. She sued.
And for extra spice? She cheekily suggested calling the U.S. “América Mexicana,” pointing to maps from before the U.S. took a third of Mexico’s land.

Donald Trump is so stupid he thinks drug dealers will pay tariffs on the illegal drugs they bring into the country. Right after they declare all profits on their income tax returns.
