“He was a socialist… You can’t have everything,” and he complained about the “invasion” of migrants from Mexico.

Donald Trump asks to go out and vote
Donald Trump urged his followers to go out and vote to “fire” the vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
“Tomorrow, they have to stand up and tell Kamala that they’ve had enough, that they can’t take it anymore, that they just can’t,” Trump said.
“They’re going to say: ‘You’ve done a terrible job, you’re grossly incompetent, we’re not going to take it anymore. Kamala, you’re fired! Get out of here. Get out of here,’” Trump said.

How accurate is Trump’s claim that he forced Mexico to deploy soldiers during his previous presidency?
Okay, here is a short interview format based on the information provided:
## Interview: Trump’s Tariff Threat Against Mexico
**Host:** Joining us tonight to discuss Donald Trump’s latest comments regarding tariffs on Mexico is Dr. Maria Hernandez, an expert in U.S.-Mexico relations. Dr. Hernandez, thanks for being here.
**Dr. Hernandez:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Trump has threatened to impose significant tariffs on Mexican goods if they don’t crack down on migration and drug trafficking. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
**Dr. Hernandez:** Trump’s statements are deeply concerning.
First, they are based on a fundamentally inaccurate premise. While Mexico does face challenges with drug trafficking and migration, blaming them entirely and threatening punitive measures is oversimplified and counters productive solutions.
Second, these tariff threats would have a devastating impact on both the US and Mexican economies. [1](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-promises-25-tariff-products-mexico-canada-2024-11-25/) Mexico is a major trading partner, and imposing such steep tariffs would disrupt supply chains and lead to price increases for American consumers.
**Host:** Trump mentions that he forced Mexico to deploy soldiers during his previous presidency. Is there evidence to support this claim?
**Dr. Hernandez:** Trump’s claims about forcing Mexico to deploy troops during his previous term are misleading. While there was increased cooperation on border security during that time, including the deployment of Mexico’s National Guard, this was part of a negotiated agreement, not something imposed by the United States.
**Host:** Trump has also stated he would call Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to issue this warning. What do you expect the reaction in Mexico to be?
**Dr. Hernandez:** I expect the Mexican government to strongly reject these threats. Tying economic relations to immigration policy is unacceptable. Mexico is a sovereign nation deserving of respect.
**Host:** Dr. Hernandez, thank you for shedding light on this complex issue.
**Dr. Hernandez:** My pleasure.
**Host:** We’ll be right back after the break.
Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any part of the interview or discuss other aspects of the situation!
