Not that I think Trumps not capable of being a giant dick, but he still wants some stuff from Mexico. Stuff that only Nieto can give him.

Lambasting anyone, even in private, is not smart from a business point of view.

I don't know though, People used to talk here about Obama playing three dimensional chess when Repubs were playing checkers. Maybe my belief that trump is manipulating all of us is putting too much faith in his ability as an evil person.

he may own golf courses and hotels : however he did this by not paying for services rendered, working with the mob, cheating people, lying, he is just a evil man and does not care how he gets what he wants

Trump likes to be all nice nice on phone calls and in person...and then tweets horrible things afterward.

He wants to be loved...I doubt he said those things.

...he certainly needs things from Mexico, but I gather that his approach to deal-making is to denigrate what the other side offers and then negotiate from there.

He is totally lacking in any diplomatic skills. Lacking in basic courtesy.

same thing really.

Every nation must stand united against Trump.

many years ago?

This was in reference to the the drug trafficking from Mexico.
