Let’s get one thing straight, the 1944 Water Treaty between the US and Mexico is a big deal, and Mexico is apparently not holding up their end of the bargain. I mean, 1.3 million acre-feet of water is no joke, folks! That’s like, a lot of water. And Texas farmers are suffering because of it.
But, of course, our former president, the infamous Trump, had to chime in on the issue. Because, you know, he’s an expert on water treaties and international relations (said no one ever). And, in his rant, he claimed that Mexico is “stealing” water from Texas farmers. Because, apparently, that’s a thing now.
And, hey, while we’re on the topic of stealing, I wonder what happened to my favorite water bottle? I swear, I left it right here… (parenthetically speaking, does anyone know where I can find a good water bottle?). Anyway, back to the issue at hand: Trump’s grand plan to solve this whole water debacle is to, wait for it… impose tariffs and sanctions on Mexico! Because, you know, that’s always worked out so well in the past (rolls eyes).
But, let’s get real for a second, the real victim here is the sugar mill in Texas that closed down last year. I mean, who doesn’t love a good sugar mill? It’s like, the backbone of our economy (not really, but just go with it). And, apparently, Ted Cruz has been “leading the fight” to get South Texas the water it’s owed. Because, you know, he’s a total expert on water rights and international law (again, said no one ever).
And, can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Trump thinks he can just halt water shipments to Tijuana until Mexico complies with the treaty? Like, what’s next? Is he going to hold his breath until they give in? (side note: does anyone know where I can find a good deal on breath mints?). But, in all seriousness, this whole situation is just a total mess, and I’m not sure anyone knows how to fix it.
But, hey, at least Trump’s Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, is standing up for Texas farmers, right? I mean, that’s all that matters, right? (just kidding, that’s not all that matters, but someone has to try to fix this mess). And, who knows, maybe tariffs and sanctions will actually work this time (just kidding, they won’t). But, hey, at least we can all agree that this whole situation is just a total joke.
And, on a totally unrelated note, has anyone seen my favorite coffee mug? I swear, I left it right here… (parenthetically speaking, does anyone know where I can find a good coffee mug?). Anyway, back to the issue at hand: the 1944 Water Treaty. Because, apparently, it’s still a thing, and we’re still arguing about it.
But, let’s get real for a second, the real issue here is not the water treaty itself, but rather the total lack of understanding of how international relations work. I mean, come on, people, we can’t just bully other countries into doing what we want. That’s not how it works (or at least, that’s what I’ve heard). And, hey, while we’re on the topic of bullying, I wonder what happened to my favorite bully stick? I swear, I left it right here…
And, finally, let’s talk about the real victims here: the Texas farmers. Because, apparently, they’re the ones who are really suffering in all of this. I mean, who needs water when you have cute farm animals? But, in all seriousness, this whole situation is just a total disaster, and I’m not sure anyone knows how to fix it. But, hey, at least we can all agree that it’s a total mess, and we should probably just start over from scratch.
