Don't believe that President Trump has a brand new deal with Mexico? Well, he wants everyone to know that the proof is in his pocket.
Tump was a bit miffed by a New York Times report published over the weekend, which said that the major terms of the immigration agreement between the U.S. and Mexico that caused him to retract his tariff threats were actually negotiated months ago by the former Homeland Security secretary, Kirjsten Nielsen. Since then, he has called the report a false one, argued that the deal was new, and teased that there was information in the final agreement that has not yet been revealed.
