MeidasTouch: Mexico HUMILIATES Trump in Trade War ON WALL STREET


Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5bAYi6kfk
Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I cannot stand Trump. For me is an ignorant fool with an outsize ego and a track record of himself making money and everyone else being losers! Trump is a serial loser and hard nosed when it comes to his own wealth accumulation. Everyone else can rot in hell ... or jail!

Wall Street has declared Mexico the clear winner in the trade war sparked by Donald Trump’s social media provocations. The Peso has surged against the dollar after President Claudia Sheinbaum decisively outmaneuvered Trump, warning that his antics could jeopardize 500,000 U.S. jobs and drive up prices for American consumers. Michael Popok breaks it all down through his Wall Street lens, explaining how Mexico came out on top.

  • in the shooting match between the US and
  • Mexico over Donald Trump's threatened
  • tariff War there's a clear winner and
  • her name is Claudia shinal the new
  • president of Mexico Donald Trump
  • probably thought he could try to pick on
  • her since she just got elected a couple
  • of months ago and she fired back and the
  • markets have responded in praising her
  • and also the peso trading Market has
  • responded by declaring that the winner
  • is Mexico because now the peso is 1.5%
  • higher than it was before the attack by
  • Donald Trump against the dollar I'm
  • going to use my Wall Street background
  • to talk to you here on legal AF the
  • Midas Dutch Network about this phony
  • trade war that Donald Trump has started
  • and then once shine Bal
  • retaliated he backed down the markets
  • watched and responded by lifting the
  • peso against the dollar let me break it
  • all down for you couple weeks ago Donald

  • 1:01
  • Trump thought it was in the econ the
  • economic best interest of average
  • Americans to do two things
  • Deport uh 40% of the undocumented
  • Workforce that that fires
  • empowers uh sectors like construction
  • and our food supply and our internet
  • Commerce in the same time he said why
  • don't I start a trade war and tax Mexico
  • and Canada
  • 25% in tariffs and China 10%
  • representing 40% of our trading partners
  • well Mexico and Canada immediately fired
  • back in different ways there's reporting
  • and I'll probably do a hot take on it
  • about uh Trudeau heading down to maral
  • Lago maybe un bendit knee forced there
  • by his government to make nice with
  • Donald Trump and to try to convince him
  • in a meeting he just held along with uh
  • Donald Trump's economic team including
  • his new Commerce nominee Howard lutnick

  • 2:01
  • um and some other people in the room
  • about trying to avoid the 25% tariff but
  • that's not what cloudia Shin bound did
  • maybe because she's an economist maybe
  • because she has a doctorate maybe
  • because she's really tough and really
  • smart and so she immediately did two
  • things that the Canadians did not do she
  • issued a letter in Spanish in response
  • to Donald Trump in which she threatened
  • her own 25% tariff which economists have
  • shown will lead to the following dire
  • impacts on the US economy an immediate
  • loss of a half a million jobs on the US
  • side of that dispute half a million jobs
  • poof goodbye overnight because of the
  • trade war and a substantial increase in
  • the cost of living for Americans I
  • thought that's the reason people voted
  • for him I mean I keep hearing the two
  • reasons that Kam Harrison Democrats lost
  • besides some issues with her candidacy
  • and the fact that there wasn't a primary
  • system that selected her but was that

  • 3:01
  • people voted with their pocketbook in
  • their wallet and they were upset about
  • immigration and a couple of culture War
  • issues and apparently the Democrats
  • obviously lost about protection for the
  • lgbtq plus Community but I thought it
  • was really all about the economy I
  • didn't realize that we had um given
  • Donald Trump a quote unquote Mandate of
  • quote unquote historic proportions none
  • of which is true in order to wreck our
  • economy or to do a science experiment
  • let's see what will happen and so Shin
  • bound uh reminded Donald Trump in her
  • letter on official president Mexico
  • letterhead that the two major exporters
  • out of Mexico who will be hit with the
  • 25% tariff are if she does her side of
  • the Tariff General Motors and Ford who
  • have been in the country for almost a
  • 100 years making products in their
  • plants in Mexico no they would not
  • escape a 25% retaliatory tariff imposed

  • 4:00
  • by Mexico is that what they want to do
  • and that's where a lot of the half a
  • million jobs on the other side come out
  • and the higher and the higher costs now
  • the market let me turn to my prior Wall
  • Street background here the market has
  • responded and the peso Traders there's
  • currency Traders what we call foreign
  • exchange Traders FX Traders they sit
  • there making money on the Arbitrage
  • between the the a certain uh could be a
  • it could be a uh a sort of a straddle or
  • a butterfly what that means is they're
  • matching different currencies and trying
  • to trade one against the other the peso
  • against the dollar right the Euro
  • against the dollar or the peso the
  • Brazilian real against the the Yen I
  • mean there's all sorts of things that
  • you can match and bet on in a market
  • with with foreign exchange Traders and
  • so that market has already spoken about
  • who they saw as the winner of that tough
  • guy stance that Donald Trump made before

  • 5:01
  • he even got in office he's already
  • conducting a legal foreign policy before
  • he even got into office right we have
  • one president at one time we have one um
  • set of policies around our economy
  • around foreign policy around uh National
  • trade and that's being conducted by the
  • Biden Administration until January 20th
  • at at noon no Donald Trump is already

  • heading down to Mara Lago you know we're
  • not biased we're going to turn a page
  • you know people forget by the way on the
  • ma and Joe thing go listen to their show
  • back in 2016 and before they were Pro
  • Trump or let me put it this way they
  • weren't anti-trump he used to phone in
  • the show hello Joe hello M go find the
  • clips you know so everyone's like up in
  • ARS like oh Joe and Ma they were so
  • critical and now now look at them you
  • know because they're worried about their
  • FCC license and being put into a
  • concentration camp uh but they were Pro
  • Trump before I don't see this as a major
  • flip for them we we're not flipping and
  • it's not like you woke up and Midas
  • Touch Network and legal AF were suddenly
  • going let's give Trump a try maybe we

  • 9:02
  • were wrong for the good of America let's
  • let's just sit and wait and not uh
  • protest or analyze or resist uh or let's
  • not file any lawsuits uh let's just uh
  • uh sit back and let his Maga uh project
  • 2025 policies take effect and then we
  • can then we can judge you know six
  • months or two years from now no we
  • didn't you didn't wake up to that world
  • okay it's not the upside down world but
  • true Joe decided from Canada oh I better
  • get down there he wants me down there he
  • stayed at some who knows what hotel in
  • West Palm Beach didn't stay on didn't
  • even stay in Palm Beach at a nice hotel
  • I'm from that area so I can I tell you
  • Trudeau why didn't you stay at the
  • breakers or at the Brazilian court or
  • something I don't know why you stayed in
  • this hotel in West pal Beach but you did
  • and then you got to like shlep over with
  • your black cars and go to Mara Lago and
  • meet with all these people most of which
  • have never been in government before to
  • try to talk about why Canada is not
  • responsible for the

  • 10:00
  • fenel uh addictions in America or drug
  • Supply nor from ma it's not a porest
  • border people aren't pouring in through
  • Canada you know in Nova Scotia into
  • Maine you know bad people so the whole
  • thing was sort of a Kabuki theater
  • orchestrated by Donald Trump and you
  • either play it or you don't play it and
  • Claudia shanam is not playing she's like
  • legal AFU I'm not doing that you want a
  • trade War bring it even the dueling
  • social media posts show you who won that
  • particular battle Donald Trump said just
  • had a great call with cloudia shine BAL
  • of Mexico she's fully on board with
  • closing the southern border and stopping
  • migration magga 2025 and an hour later
  • Claudia shound posts her own
  • interpretation of the phone call where
  • she said that Mexico's stance is not to
  • close the borders but they believe in
  • Building Bridges uh with communities and

  • 11:02
  • the and the and the Wall Street Market
  • went yeah we're going to vote for
  • Claudia Shin bam on that one and the
  • peso price uh has now uh gone up it'll
  • be
  • volatile because what Traders now have
  • to do is we're back in the world of them
  • of them uh sort of being hurdled around
  • and being pulled and dragged around by
  • competing social media posts because
  • Donald Trump's going to conduct foreign
  • policy and economic policy again through
  • social media through truth
  • social here we go again you know we in
  • the legal media are going to have to go
  • after that have that declared uh his
  • public account in order to get all
  • copies of everything because he's not
  • going to use the official podus
  • president of the United States um X
  • account or wherever it is these days
  • hopefully I'm blue sky like the rest of
  • us um but he's going to do it through
  • his true social that's why he built
  • built the platform and he needs more

  • 12:01
  • eyeballs over there so he's going to
  • start posting there left and right and
  • we're going to have to react to it and
  • the and the economy and the market is
  • going to have to react to it so we're
  • back in case you didn't figure this out
  • we're back to national security policy
  • trade policy domestic policy uh uh war
  • and diplomacy through social media post
  • by Donald Trump and the markets are
  • going to have to react but they already
  • are so the winner for right now at least
