Chapter 1: How is Claudia Sheinbaum responding to Trump's tariff threats?
Watching the very popular president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, play mental jujitsu with low IQ, Donald Trump is a sight to behold. Now, as Donald Trump is saying, April 2nd is going to be Liberation Day, where there's going to be tariffs on Everything imaginable. And he goes, things are going to be great.
And of course, he's imposing the 25% auto tariffs throughout the world, which is going to hit Mexico and Canada particularly hard. This was from earlier this week, a press conference that Claudia Scheinbaum held, where she said, look, built into the very fabric of Mexico's constitution is the concept of not tariffing it. People not tariffing other nations because it has disastrous effects.
But she says, without saying so many words, look, Donald Trump's a weak, pathetic loser. And we know he's backed down before. So why don't we just see what happens on April 2nd? Because he tends to back down when he sees the stock market crash. Watch her play this clip.
We do not agree with imposing economic sanctions on countries. That is a principle of Mexican foreign policy. It is not only of the government I represent, but in general and besides, that's what the Constitution establishes. And that's important. Because it doesn't affect a government or a person, but an entire people.
In the face of what might happen on the 2nd of April, well, we already have different plans that we have been announcing. So let's hope, particularly that by April 2nd, everything goes well for the benefit of our country and the United States.
Then as part of her other press conference, she seemed to reiterate this message where she's basically calling Donald Trump an idiot and a weak, pathetic coward without using so many words. And she's being diplomatic and she's just like, look, all right, we've been through this cycle before. He huffs and he puffs and he says, is it going to blow your house down? But what? We'll be prepared.
We've got the remedies on April 2nd or April 3rd. If he does indeed do his liberation day plan and impose these tariffs. But we've seen what happened before. So we'll see what happens here. Play this clip.
If you remember. April 2nd is the day President Trump announced he would unveil the tariff system he will propose to the world. Yesterday, he moved forward and talked about the automotive industry. Then it says the 25% tariff will apply to imported passenger vehicles and light trucks, as well as key car parts, engines, transmissions, drivetrain parts, and electrical components.
This is for everyone. They say... Automobile importers under the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement will be given the opportunity to certify their American content so that the 25% tariff applies only to the value of their non-American content. it would come into effect on the 3rd of April.

Now, one of, I think, the great moves that Claudia Scheinbaum did, and it's kind of funny and trolly, but it's part of her, I think, mental jujitsu that she does with the low IQ Trump regime morons who form Trump's cabinet, is she kind of, she's done psychological profiles on these low IQ individuals like Trump and J.D. Vance and
Kristi Noem, although to be fair, J.D. Vance is smart. He just plays stupid. So more like Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz. Vance is evil smart pretending to be stupid. I'll clarify that right there, but behaves like an idiot. So Kristi Noem, Trump's Homeland Security Secretary, what does she love to do? Cosplay. Dresses up in different outfits and then goes to different settings. So
Claudia Scheinbaum knows this about Kristi Noem. So watch this. She invites Noem to Mexico and then kind of rolls it out in a way to make Kristi Noem feel like super tough. And then she helps Kristi Noem film one of these like G.I. Joe or G.I. Jane, like Rambo videos so that she could say, look, look, look how good I made you. But Claudia Scheinbaum knows what she's doing here. We welcomed U.S.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to the National Palace. We had a fruitful meeting with her, benefiting both Mexico and the United States. Our countries maintain a good relationship within a framework of respect for each other's sovereignty. You notice that? That she goes, Scheinbaum goes, we're setting the framework. You are in my framework, Noem and Trump.
A framework of sovereignty. So if you want to be in that framework of sovereignty, we're happy to chat. If not, get the hell out of here. So then precisely what we thought was going to happen, Kristi Noem then posts her G.I. Jane or Rambo style video.
