Rare truth from him as we do in fact have soybeans rotting away in silos at levels nobody's seen before
Trump: "We made a wonderful deal for everybody. Our farmers, as you know, with the soybeans at levels that nobody has ever seen before. If we didn't have the tariffs, we wouldn't have been able to do that."

at least Mexico has an actual leader:

"Mexico denied a U.S. military plane access to land Thursday... Two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s, carrying about 80 people apiece, flew deportees out of the U.S. Thursday night..."

Mexico refuses to accept a U.S. deportation flight
The Mexican government has criticized President Donald Trump's unilateral immigration actions, and the landing would have required Mexico's assistance.
