Please focus on this, it's important.

Trump's threat to cut off aid to Northern Triangle countries is flatly contradicted by recommendations for addressing the migrant crisis from *both* the State Department *and* his own Customs and Border Patrol chief:

Trump just said again that Central American countries are scamming us.

This is foundational to Trump's delusional worldview.

Trump called Mexicans rapists *and* he claimed Mexico "sends" them to us.

That's why he vowed to make Mexico pay for the wall.

In the Trumpist mythology, other countries send us their outcasts and laugh about it. Only Trump is tough enough to end it.

Thus, his failure to make Mexico pay for the wall isn't a small, tangential broken promise.

Trump's vow to do this was a pillar of his entire worldview.
