Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo issued a "read-out" of her call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday — but her list of what the two leaders agreed to is different from his in one major respect: guns.

      Yes cuz clearly all these guns stopped a coup. Also if you think there’s going to be battles in the street over fascism, the fighting should have happened a long time ago. Turning back the clock will happen over our blood but not how you are thinking.
