... n what looks like a case of "he said, she said," President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum appear to have starkly different recollections of a conversation that covered the hot-button issue of migration. After the phone chat late Wednesday, Trump wrote on social media that the Mexican leader had agreed to stop immigration through Mexico and to the United States. "Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border," he said in a post on Truth Social. "It was a very productive conversation!" Sheinbaum's account differed from Trump's. "In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights," she said on X. "We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders but instead build bridges between government and people." ...

@#2 ... he's, "profoundly stupid" ...
And Pres-elect Trump prevaricates.
A lot.
Lying seems to be in his DNA. OK, that opinion may now raise a lot of questions about his off-spring.
But I digress.
Yeah, that Pres-elect Trump and the President of Mexico can have a conversation, and Pres-elect Trump then comes away from that conversation with some imagined (and false?) outcome, is nothing short of frightening.

"Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as the truth' exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as Science' ... If the Leader says of such and such an event, It never happened'-well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five-well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs."

My sense s this is a taste of what is to come for the court of King Dotard II, I.e., lots of pushback and disagreement with world leaders who have tired of the bullying tactics and blowviating from the loudmouths coming into power in DC. I cannot imagine Canadian customs being rude or curt with Americans coming north, but many other countries may soon provide enough of a hassle to visiting Americans that there will be few places in the civilized world that the MAGA crowd will be permitted, comeFebruary 2025 ...

Yes. The US may become quite isolated. But that seems to be what MAGA wants.
