How can one claim that Trump has honour, when he won't honour a law his administration wrote and signed into law?

Asked by SQUEEKY2 (23453points) 5 days ago

During his first term his administration rewrote the free trade agreement with Canada , and Mexico and now threatens tariffs against those countries as soon as he takes office.
He will break his own law by doing so.
If those countries don’t keep illegal drugs, and migrants out of entering the states .
It’s not those countries responsibility to do that, it’s their job to keep them out of their country, it’s the states job to keep out of the states.

I actually can’t think of one time when anyone called trump “honerable.”

“it’s the states job to keep (drugs) out of the states” No shit. So you understand the need to secure the border then.

Dutchess_III's avatar

^^^^ The drugs aren’t coming in from elsewhere! They’re being manufactured right here at home.

Blackwater_Park's avatar

@Dutchess_III No, they’re mostly coming from south of the border and shipped in from China They’re not largely being made here.

Example @Blackwater_Park? Your link doesn’t work.

Dutchess_III's avatar

It worked this time.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Yeah @Blackwater_Park but it’s NOT Canadas or Mexicos responsibility to secure your borders.

Just another slice of info, 60% of all us imported oil comes from Canada, if the Don father gets his tariffs started which will include oil ,think Americans will feel that at the pump, and oops here comes another round of inflation.

Does the OP have a link that shows what law Trump will be breaking including the applicable section?

He will be giving himself the Medal of Honor.

How much honor can one man bestow and have from himself sets him far apart.

Who said Trump was a man of honor?

I heard on the news the other day that the day after Trump’s threat, Mexico made a record Fentanyl bust. Over 20 million doses. I am guessing they wanted to show that they will try to comply to avoid tariffs.

@Blackwater_Park…..OK I looked it up and you are correct. BUT do you believe that securing the borders means POOF! No more drug addicts? They’d just figure out how to make it here, in the US.

Blackwater_Park's avatar

@Dutchess_III No of course not. But it certainly is a step in the right direction. If you follow the current drug culture back in time it leads you to Perdue Pharma aggressively marketing Oxycontin. Dig a little deeper and a consulting company McKinsey & Co mostly masterminded it behind the scenes. A handful of people in a boardroom are fully responsible for the opioid destruction we are experiencing now. I hope you read about it and get mad. All off us need to be seriously mad about this. Had Oxy not been a thing, I don’t think we would see the expansive drug problem with opioids.
Now that demand for opioids is mature, our insecure borders allow replacement drugs to flood the streets now that the prescription opioid supply is expensive or dried up. “Making it here” is not as much a thing as you think. The precursor supplies get regulated and are harder to get cheaply or in sufficient amounts like Sudafed. It’s tough to make meth in significant amounts here but it’s very, very easy across the border. Don’t kid yourself, the drug problem would not be near as bad if we secured the borders. This is more than just the southern border obviously.

It’s honorable to save American lives from imported drugs, yes.
Also this was kept pretty quiet in the States.

And @KNOWITALL send all people of color to somewhere else . . . most drugs are smuggled by USA citizens. Drugs are just excuse to send families back to their home country !

For 50 years or more Trump has acted against people of color while being a landlord !

@Tropical_Willie I have no issues with illegal aliens from anywhere of any color being sent back to come in legally.
Including Canada.
I guess you still aren’t understanding why Trump won the popular and electoral. Ha!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh. It’s SO easy for ANYONE to come here legally.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Dutchess_III Well for 2.6 million it was handled correctly.
What truly upsets me is Democrats know it is illegal and kept encouraging it. Now these folks will pay the price, not any of ya’ll. I hope you guys feel some remorse but I bet you just blame Trump for enforcing the law. Smh

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well 2.6 million had the time and the money. Most don’t. But we don’t want poor brown people here anyway.
