MEXICO CITY If President Enrique Peña Nieto invited Donald J. Trump to visit Mexico for a dialogue in the interest of democracy, the message has fallen on deaf ears.
Instead, the predominant feeling here in the Mexican capital is one of betrayal.
Its a historic error, said Enrique Krauze, a well-known historian. You confront tyrants, you dont appease them.
On Mexicos most popular morning television show on Wednesday, a livid Mr. Krauze likened the presidents meeting with Mr. Trump to the decision by Neville Chamberlain, then the British prime minister, to sit down with Hitler in Munich in 1938.

(7,299 posts)The Mexican President just did what Trump and the Republicans have been unable to do, make Trump look very strong and very presidential. Today was a very bad day for the U.S. and Mexico.

(110,950 posts)"look very presidential". Maybe Obama can appoint him Ambassador to Mexico, so he will have some authority to speak in a negotiating manner to the authorities of another sovereign nation. If Obama wanted the FBI to arrest him at the border, he would be in his authority. Donald Trump is not exempt from the Logan Act.
