Mexico has already said no meetings have been confirmed and the invitation was extended to both candidates no just Trump, He is using this as promotion stunt claiming he was making a quick trip to Mexico in between his Arizona and California trip. Ain;t gonna happen folks
Okay. That’s the final straw for me. This entire election is silly. I’m driving Mrs. Von Holst crazy; I’m pissed off at half of my fellow citizens, and I’m getting distracted beyond bounds. I’m out for a while, maybe till after the election. May God help us all. Trump is playing us and the media like a cheap tuba. Enjoy.
Now THAT I can believe. Where did you find the story?
If it is for real perhaps the Secret Service will be extended an offer to dine on some great authentic Mexican food and tRump will be met by local drug lords instead of the president.
I cannot imagine that President Enrique Peña Nieto has anything to gain by meeting with this buffoon unless he plans to secretly tape the meeting and release it after tRump starts telling his N00bs how he got him to agree to pay for the wall.
Late Tuesday, Trump and the Mexican president confirmed on Twitter that they will meet Wednesday.
if nada else it’s an opportunity for tRump to bill his campaign extra for the use of his aeroplane. At a five hundred percent markup.
This trip gives him cover to pivot on the wall. He can tell the rubes that he has looked into the Mexican President’s heart and believes a wall will be unnecessary.
I understand.
Catchya manana…
Trump may have handedly won the Republican primary, but he and his surrogates are constantly sticking their foot in their mouths. A defeat is afoot.
Here was the invitation:
“Mrs. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Donald Trump, I would like to express to both of them my greatest respect, my deepest respect. And from right now, I propose going into a frank, open dialogue with whomever is elected,” Nieto said in July during a joint news conference with President Barack Obama at the White House.
I can imagine myself, being hospitable and in a general spirit of fellowship saying something of such goodwill to that nice couple that we met at Yellowstone Park , only to get a phone call that they were gonna accept my casual invitation to show up TOMORROW!!!**
I’ll bet El Presidente’s staff is tossing things in rooms and closing the door, hurriedly vacuuming and dusting, wondering what in the world can I prepare them for lunch.
The taco salad in Mexico City is far superior to the dreck at Trump tower.
Oh to be a fly on that wall.
I so hope the Mexican President reams trump a new one.
No wall, no payment.
And I hope President Nieto explains that trump’s policy toward Mexico is not that of a friend and please see yourself out, thanks.
President EPN is in trouble, has low ratings at home, has a couple of scandals leading the news this week,
A shout fest with Trump might just be what the doctor ordered.
He might want this to get ugly.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Trump will say one thing to the El Presidente and then something much different to his base. Stupidly he doesn’t realize that one of those actually holds power and respect.
Also, given that twitter is the realm of the Trumps and Palins of the world, I find it less than plausible that the Mexican Government would release confirmation on Twitter. Since when does a government have a Twitter account?
Added edit -
If the internet is to believed, Nieto has tweeted his acceptance of the meeting. Which makes me wonder, if all of this is being done on twitter, what the hell is all the noise about Clinton’s emails? Pretty much the same difference to me.
See my post slightly up thread.
Trump will leave this meeting and claim in vague, easy to backtrack language that Nieto endorsed his candidacy. Nieto will be so jarred by Trump’s claim he’ll issue a diplomatic denial. Whereupon Trump will claim, wink-wink, “What, you expected him to admit it if asked about it? These were private discussions. He likes me. Everyone in Mexico likes me. Now, on to Arizona for my speech!”
I don’t see how anyone looks good in this.
There might be too much drama for me…
I just hope that the meeting, if it takes place, is recorded.
Not that this would have any impact on the brain dead and willfully ignorant N00Bs who follow tRump.
This is Pena Nieto’s post on Twitter. My Spanish is not good, but I think it says " I invited both candidates. Tomorrow I’m receiving trump." I can’t imagine the Mexican people taking kindly to trump paying a visit for any purpose.
Invité a México a los candidatos a la Presidencia de EEUU, para conversar sobre la relación bilateral. Mañana recibo a Donald Trump.
using Google translate.
I invited Mexico to the US presidential candidates wing, to discuss bilateral relations. Tomorrow I get to Donald Trump.
odd translation, no?
