The day President Trump sent the tweet, and to be clear, it was a tweet that I helped write that night. Claudia Sheinbaum called an emergency cabinet meeting at 7pm that evening to decide how to respond. And She responded by releasing about 400,000 acre feet of water, which was enormously helpful to the farmers in South Texas. And then just in December, the Mexicans had started slow walking the water again. And so I went to Trump again. (26:36–26:44)
