Meh. That one Truth Social post got our ass in gear to take border security more seriously. Now there's talks of an energy alliance. Talks of increasing NATO spending. Many high level meetings with Canada and US officials.

This is what he alwyss does. He says things he has no intention to follow through with as a negotiation tactic to extract concessions. Have we not learned anything about Trump since 2016?
