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 effective were previous efforts by the Trump administration to pressure Mexico into increasing border enforcement?
## Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Maria Sanchez
**Host:** Dr. Sanchez, thank you for joining us today. Donald Trump recently threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico if they don’t stem the flow of drugs and migrants into the US. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
**Dr. Sanchez:** This is a familiar tactic from Trump’s playbook. He uses threats and inflammatory rhetoric to try and force concessions. [1] This time, he’s targeting Mexico, a key trading partner, with the threat of massive tariffs escalating up to 100%.
**Host:** But he claims he forced Mexico to deploy soldiers during his previous administration and that it was successful.
**Dr. Sanchez:** That’s a misleading
claim. While there was increased Mexican enforcement at their southern border under pressure from the Trump administration, it’s debatable how effective it was and it certainly didn’t solve the complex issue of migration.
**Host:** What about his claim that Mexico paid for those soldiers?
**Dr. Sanchez:** That’s inaccurate. There was no evidence of direct payments from Mexico to the US for border enforcement during that period.
**Host:** And what about his statement that he would call President Sheinbaum and warn her about these potential tariffs?
**Dr. Sanchez:** It’s interesting that he mentioned Claudia Sheinbaum specifically. It suggests he may be seeking to establish a rapport with her, despite his aggressive stance. However, using tariffs as a bargaining chip on issues like migration is a risky strategy that could disrupt the longstanding economic relationship between the two countries.
**Host:** Dr. Sanchez, thank you for sharing your expertise.
