Everyone's face and body is asymmetrical (a fact learned in art school anatomy class) but looking at Chuck's eyes on a full screen is really cool. One eye is almost looking through you. If I were in a room with him and negotiating I would give him whatever he wanted and than some.

TRUMP:
But you cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall. I am just going to say that we are working it out. Believe it or not, this is the least important thing that we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important talk about. But in terms of dollars – or pesos – it is the least important thing. I know how to build very inexpensively, so it will be much lower than these numbers I am being presented with, and it will be a better wall and it will look nice. And it will do the job.

PEÑA NIETO:
But my position has been and will continue to be very firm saying that Mexico cannot pay for that wall.

TRUMP
But you cannot say that to the press. The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances.
