Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst unleashed on Thursday in discussing Donald Trump’s recently reported phone call and his tariff threats. Trump recently claimed his call with Mexico’s leader resulted in her agreeing to effectively close down the border, purportedly as a result of his planned tariffs.
Her version of events was slightly different, according to CNN.

Former George W. Bush spokesman Pete Seat said he didn’t think either side was lying, instead suggesting that the results of the call were “lost in translation.”
But Konst saw things in a different light, saying, “It’s par for the course for Donald Trump to have his own version of events and obviously put that out on Truth Social, his own social media platform that he’s making money off of as he goes into the next presidency.”
She continued, saying that, if Trump gets his way on his tariff threat on Mexico that lies at the heart of the dispute, the “burden is actually going to be put on the United States, the people of the United States.”
