It seems like the trick to negotiating with Trump is to realize he doesn’t have any idea what the current facts are.
"Oh you want 10,000 troops?" says world leader who already deployed 15K. "Great 10k it is"

It's not about fentanyl. It was never about fentanyl. Nothing Canada does about fentanyl will solve this.
It's Anschluss.

Trump’s minions won’t even cheerlead his México fail today! He should say THANK YOU JOE for the 10,000 troops at the border, since that’s the deal JOE got and Mexico is continuing. I’m glad our weak “President” backed down, like a dog, off his price raising tariffs! His weakness saved us so much $!

This makes ZERO sense. Sovereign wealth funds exist to invest a nation’s foreign currency holdings from running trade surpluses. The U.S. has a net negative foreign reserve balance, with U.S. dollars held abroad, as a function of its reserve currency status.

Trump is so predictable:
Step 1 — Create artificial crisis.
Step 2 — Make phone call.
Step 3 — Announce end of crisis.
Step 4 — Declare victory.
