President Donald Trump said on Monday he may make Mexico halting the flow of undocumented migrants into the United States a condition for a renegotiated trade deal.

“Mexico, whose laws on immigration are very tough, must stop people from going through Mexico and into the US We may make this a new condition of our new NAFTA Agreement. Our Country cannot accept what is happening! Also, we must get Wall funding fast,” he wrote on Twitter.

The social media announcement came more than a week after the US leader said talks to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada were “coming along great,” although he said there was no deadline for a new deal to be completed.

Mr Trump’s threats to exit NAFTA have unnerved US industry and members of his own Republican party, who say the United States has benefited from the pact.

1. Bully Boy thinks he can impose requirements on everybody as a condition of his favor.

His inflated sense of importance and power is nauseating.

He is so subhuman it's a nightmare knowing he'll be there tomorrow.
