Disruptor-in-Chief Shows How to Win With Mexico

Trump also smartly confronted Mexico over its inaction regarding our volatile shared border.

Because the Democrats in Congress seem to prefer a controversy to a solution when it comes to illegal migration, the internal options for Trump and his Department of Homeland Security remain limited.

President Trump warned Mexico of imminent trade sanctions unless it shared proactively in the burden of stopping this dangerous flow of people and the attendant humanitarian border crisis it caused.

Many media mavens recoiled to their standard default position of criticizing Trump as a racist.

My CNN colleague Chris Cuomo, for example, claimed that Trump characterized the border crossers as a "Marauding brown menace." First, he used no such description.

Its chief policy officer, Neil Bradley, derided the possible repercussions as "Exactly the wrong move." Similarly, the Business Roundtable - comprised of the largest multinational CEOs - warned of Trump's "Grave error."

Trump did precisely what Trump was elected to do.
