Orange Deer in the Headlights: Trump's Mexico Press Conference





As Mexican President Pena Nieto spoke glowingly about the virtues of NAFTA and free trade, Trump stood there silently relying on a translator. As Pena Nieto criticized Trump’s plan to build the wall in a very diplomatic fashion, Trump stood there. As Mexico’s president stressed cooperation between the US and Mexico, Trump stood there.

When Trump finally spoke, he called the meeting a substantive exchange of ideas, and said that he was straightforward in repeating his views on immigration and trade. Trump proclaimed that he loved the United States, and then said that both countries are united by love for their countries. Trump later added that he a tremendous feeling for Mexican-Americans because he employs so many of them.

The press conference was a voyage into the bizarre with Trump reading off of prepared remarks, but ad-libbing. Trump’s remarks were very weak. He claimed that he was with the Mexican president for a long time, but admitted that they met for an hour.

Trump said they didn’t discuss who would pay for the wall during the meeting, but that, like everything else involving the Trump campaign, would be discussed at a later date.

Domnesty went into Mexico but while there he was walled up in a basement room and it was Jeb ! In an oversized trump suit and donnie mask that came out after the meeting.
No kidding though trump looked like crap, he could barely speak above a raspy whisper, he was bloated and kept sniffing. He's exhausted, he's going to crash.
