    Donald Trump always talks crazy. The trick in reading Trump becomes asking is this crazy talk or is this a real commitment to crazy? An example of crazy talk is the big, beautiful wall that Mexico bankrolled on our southern border.

Through the election, he promised aggressive tariffs.

    The cartels are alive and well in Arizona and preying on our rail lines. Maybe Trump should focus on them first before invading Mexico? There has been much talk this year about the new Trump administration locking and loading and taking the fight to the drug cartels in Mexico. Before we do that, we might want to first wipe out the organized crime by Mexican nationals in our own country.
