UPDATE[1/4] President Trump just said he might close the border even though it will be damaging to our economy, claiming that "safety & security is more important to me than trade.” Really? Selling hundreds of billions in arms sales… pic.twitter.com/8TuBsCObt1— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) April 3, 2019

President Donald Trump on Thursday backed off his threat to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border, marking his second major climbdown this week.
Talking to reporters in the White House, Trump said that he would instead give Mexico a “one-year warning” to stop the flow of drugs into the United States and that he would first impose auto tariffs before closing the border.
Several hours later, the president distanced himself further from his previous promises to shut it down.
“Before we close the border, we‘ll put the tariffs on the cars,“ he said while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. “I don‘t think we‘ll ever have to close the border.“

Idiot. Of course he says “drugs” so all the idiot conservatives will rally around him no matter how idiotic he sounds.
