Outspoken Trump critic George Conway on Sunday said the president “would have been fired from any other job by now,” after Trump, in a series of tweets, lambasted media reports that devalued his deal with Mexico.
Outspoken Trump critic George Conway on Sunday said the president “would have been fired from any other job by now,” for “self-defeating behavior” after he celebrated then defended a deal his administration forged with Mexico to avoid tariffs he threatened to impose in retaliation to illegal immigration.
“You’re not ‘presidential’ at all, period,” Conway, who has fiercely advocated for Trump’s resignation and called the president's mental fitness into question, responded Sunday via Twitter after the president lambasted media reports that devalued his deal. Later, Trump on Sunday “hit back” against the New York Times after they called into question the breakthrough he claimed for his deal and compared his record to that of his predecessor Barack Obama.
Before reaching the deal with Mexico, Trump threatened to impose 5 percent tariffs on all Mexican goods starting on Monday if Mexico didn’t act to stem the flow of Central American migrants traveling through to the Mexico-U.S. border to seek asylum. He continued: “There are 6 million jobs in this country that depend on U.S.-Mexico trade, about 40 percent of the value of everything that we import from Mexico actually originated here in this country, on factory floors in Michigan, in Indiana and Ohio, farmers right here in Iowa who depend on those markets in Mexico that they’ve worked a lifetime to create.”
