FACT: The joint US-Mexico declaration, which is less than 500 words long, requires Mexico to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING it isn't already doing.

It is not a "deal."

It is a fig leaf to cover up Trump's humiliating diplomatic defeat
What is particularly infuriating is how much "objective" media coverage repeats the Trump narrative without pointing out the basic fact that Mexico didn't agree to do anything new.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

Well well. Looks like the NYT is starting to realize their mistake.

But the damage is done.
It is super weird that the NYT is pretending that figuring out that there is nothing new in this deal requires anonymous sourcing.

No.

It's all publicly available. Everything in the joint declaration was already announced months ago.
