You're right, my bad. It was the last guy that was the puffy chested pipsqueak.

Of course they did, it's what they do regarding the border.

Mexico appeared to be caught off-guard by Trump’s announcement. On Monday, Ebrard said Mexico “would never accept” that its criminal groups be designated as terrorists by the U.S. government, because “this invokes a disposition to act in a direct manner.”

I believe they also weren't going to help secure their Northern and Southern borders. Voila.

Bush and Obama backed down on that too, the list is long.

Trump says U.S. will designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorists

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview aired on Tuesday that he will designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorists over their role in drug and human trafficking.

“They will be designated ... I have been working on that for the last 90 days. You know, designation is not that easy, you have to go through a process, and we are well into that process,” Trump said in an interview with conservative media personality Bill O’Reilly that aired on Tuesday.

Mexico aims for meeting with U.S. over designation of cartels
Once a group is designated as a terrorist organization, under U.S. law it is illegal for people in the United States to knowingly offer support and its members cannot enter the country and may be deported. Financial institutions that become aware they have funds connected to the group must block the money and alert the U.S. Treasury Department.

Mexico’s government did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, said on Monday he did not expect the United States to make such a move.

Earlier this month, Trump, in a tweet, offered to help Mexico “wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth.”

The proposal came after nine Americans were killed in an ambush in northern Mexico.

Mexican authorities said they may have been victims of mistaken identity amid confrontations among drug gangs in the area.

But the LeBaron extended family, members of a breakaway Mormon community that settled in northern Mexico decades ago, has often been in conflict with drug traffickers in Chihuahua and victims’ relatives said the killers must have known who they were targeting.

Yeah they have certainly killed more people than terrorists. You know, it does not matter if they are terrorist or drug cartels, Obama armed them both. What a great guy.

How did Obama arm cartels?

Nobody arms cartels more than republican gun policy.

This follows Trump's typical pattern of talking big, anyone remember how he was going to stop birth citizenship for illegals, then folding like a cheap lawn chair when the bureaucracy/swamp/deep state/ establishment nixes his idea.

I think he didn't really want to declare these cartels as terrorists in the first place. He might be doing that for some other purposes. Like huge inflow or outflow of money, they then could trace the money.
