It remains to be seen if this is just a show or if it’s for real.  I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Scheinbaum called this guy’s boss and asked for permission to offer him up as tribute to Trump.  Perhaps she just said “You gotta give me someone.  Who do you want to replace?” And El Ricky was the answer.

On the other hand, it’s possible that Trump explained the new rules to her and she got the message.

Either way, I expect repercussions here in the U.S.  The cartels are not going to go quietly into the night.  I think I’m going to have to reread Tom Clancy’s Clear and Present Danger.  Buckle up.  It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

I believe Trump and Trudeau spoke yesterday or this morning, and they’re going to speak again at 3:00 this afternoon.  I think Trump explained the new rules to Trudeau and is waiting for his answer, too.
