Asked on Fox & Friends about the purported secret immigration deal Trump has been touting, Sarah Sanders punts, says, "look, I'm not going to get ahead of President Trump or the president of Mexico in making further announcements." But rather than tell us any more about the supposed agreement, the White House is serving up some word salad. It’s understandable that this is sensitive in Mexico, and that even if there is a secret deal, officials would try to obscure it. But in that case, Mexico has tried to avoid directly contradicting Trump, instead offering its own word salad trying to explain it. Against that backdrop, then, the fact that they have explicitly denied this supposed secret agreement is telling.
