Did Donald Trump Backward's Engineer a Tariff, No Tariff coup with Mexico as the Target.

Donald Trump recently announced a 5% tariff that would grow by 5% at certain intervals if Mexico did not make more of an effort to stop the Passage of Undocumented through Mexico. Within mere days of this announcement, the Trump administration announced that Mexico had agreed to crack down on Undocumented Migration.

Daily Puma alleges that for the past few months the U.S. had been negotiating with Mexico to prevent or restrict the flow of Undocumented through their Country and into the U.S.

Additionally, previously cut economic aid to key Central American Countries that were having difficulty preventing the exodus of Frightened Citizens from their own countries has probably now been restored, irrespective of Trump's threats of tariffs against Mexico.

DailyPUMA finds the entire scenario Implausible. DailyPUMA believes that Donald Trump publicly threatened a Tariff against Mexico knowing an agreement was either in place, or about to be agreed to with Mexico.

DailyPuma also believes that if the Trump Administration made the announcement of an agreement, we should not believe it unless it is corroborated by Mexico.

Having not done any research for this article, DailyPUMA just now, after having written the above, did ONE google search and discovered an assertion by the New York Times that the Mexico Undocumented Migration Agreement was months in the making rather than a miraculous response to Trump's very recent Tariff threat.

This is called backwards engineering a deal. Wait until the deal is either done, or almost done, then initiate a bold action just before the agreement is announced, making it seem like it was the bold action that created the agreement, when it was actually the hard work of negotiators on both sides spending months ironing out an agreement.

The sad part to all of this is Trump should just have his wall, and everyone move on to other matters. Instead, this constant posturing and manipulating followed by accusations from the other side of posturing and manipulating when they are doing the same thing is mind numbingly endless, until something really bad happens. 

Is this the best our political parties can do?
