Well, isn’t this just rich. Claudia Sheinbaum—the proudly defiant President of Mexico—has once again pounded her podium and made it abundantly clear: Mexico will not accept help from the United States, no matter how badly the cartels have turned her country into a war zone.
Trump offered a serious, hardline solution to a deadly problem—namely, sending in U.S. troops to help dismantle the violent drug networks that are flooding our streets with fentanyl—and her answer was a haughty “No, President Trump.”
Bravo, Madam President. You stood firm, waved your sovereignty flag, and declared that Mexico’s territory must not be “violated.” That’s right. Never mind the thousands of Mexican citizens brutally murdered every year by the very cartels you say you’re capable of handling. Never mind the river of fentanyl pouring into the U.S., killing more Americans than guns, cars, and actual wars combined. No, what really matters is making a dramatic speech about “cherished sovereignty” while quietly tolerating chaos.
Let’s get one thing straight: Trump’s proposal wasn’t about occupation, colonization, or annexation. It was about doing what clearly isn’t getting done on your side of the border. The fentanyl epidemic isn’t a localized nuisance—it’s a national security crisis. And when a neighbor’s house is on fire and the flames are licking your windows, you don’t politely ask if you can send over a hose—you kick down the door and start spraying.
But Sheinbaum doesn’t see it that way. She insists that Mexico can “collaborate” while still rejecting any form of direct action that might actually accomplish something. Apparently, collaboration means sending 10,000 troops to the border after being slapped with tariffs, letting the U.S. fly a few drones over cartel country, and occasionally tossing Texas a bucket of water like that makes up for the river of narcotics. Strong leadership, folks.

And just when you think the situation can’t get more absurd, in strolls CNN—America’s favorite purveyor of progressive piety and journalistic contortionism—getting absolutely roasted for cozying up to the cartels in the name of “reporting.” Yes, CNN apparently thought it would be a good idea to give airtime to drug traffickers, letting them whine about their “circumstances” as if they’re victims of some unfair system rather than the monsters running a multi-billion-dollar murder industry. Sympathy for the devil? No—sympathy for cartel hitmen. That’s where we are now.
CNN is now sitting down with foreign terrorist drug traffickers to ask how they feel about Trump’s policies and being labeled terrorists. UNREAL. pic.twitter.com/xNlMTtPZg7

Mainstream media outlets like CNN will bend over backward to frame this entire crisis as some kind of nuanced, complicated socio-economic puzzle. Instead of calling out the cartels for what they are—terrorist organizations fueling an overdose epidemic—they hand them a microphone and a camera crew. This isn’t journalism, it’s complicity. And Americans see right through it.
Meanwhile, Trump is the bad guy for wanting to actually stop the carnage. He’s the one being labeled extreme for suggesting that maybe—just maybe—we should go after the people responsible for killing 70,000 Americans a year. Sorry, but if that’s extreme, then maybe extreme is exactly what we need.
CNN is doing propaganda for the cartels, asking them how they feel about the way Trump is treating them. If you wondered what the banality of evil would look like in 2025, it’s CNN.

The truth is, Mexico’s pride is coming at a deadly cost. And while Sheinbaum is busy drawing red lines in the sand, the cartels aren’t respecting borders. They’re using them. They’re turning Mexico into a failed narco-state and using it as a launchpad to poison Americans. At some point, we have to stop pretending that diplomacy alone can fix a problem this lethal and this profitable for the criminals involved.
So no, we’re not going to sit back and applaud Mexico’s tough talk while our citizens die in record numbers. And we’re definitely not going to clap for media networks trying to humanize the executioners. If Sheinbaum wants respect, it’s time she earned it—not by parroting anti-American slogans but by actually winning the war on drugs instead of offering lip service and water deliveries.
Until then, if Trump wants to keep pushing, keep threatening tariffs, and yes, keep floating the idea of boots on the ground, that’s not arrogance—that’s what leadership looks like when lives are at stake.
