11. It's like the tariffs. They're more for Trump's personal reasons than for legitimate economic or trade reasons

If the reasons were economic, the tariffs wouldn't be applied, then rescinded, then applied again after an argument. And the Fentanyl excuse? More drugs cross the border going north into Canada than south into the US. Plus, the Fentanyl is a supply and demand issue. In all businesses, including illegal ones, supply meats demand. The US has not done anything about the huge demand for drugs in the US or about the unlicensed firearms dealers in places like Louisiana and Texas selling arsenals to buyers knowing they're probably going to drive across the border to Mexico.
