LOL this reminds me of who they had Sarah Palin meet with in 2008 to tout her foreign policy chops...Alvaro Uribe.

Shame it wasn't Trump instead It would of been insane to see him go head to head with an actual proto-fascist manipulative monster.

Wait Trump is going to travel to Mexico in less than 24 hours?

Actually if recent history is any precedent he's going to travel from Washington (state) to New York to Mexico to Arizona to New York in less than 24 hours

Maybe the meeting will end up like a recent Daily Show bit where the Asian Corespondent told a Trump Staffer to gently caress off in Chinese.

Except in Mexican.

It will make my day if Trump gets told to gently caress off in Nahuatl.

The angle he might be going for is to stare Nieto down and tell him to his face that theres gonna be a wall, you'll pay for it, you need to stop sending your rapists and murderers and instead you should send your best, blah blah blah then come back and tell his base about it

Of course the other hot take (given the invite came from Nieto recently - not months ago, I misunderstood) - is that Nieto is trying to bury local news and trump is just playing into it because he's...not very good at this.

Probably the best joke to come out of the 2012 election.

With Trump in Mexico, it's clear he's going to pull some sort of stunt to try to underscore his "credentials" to his base, but what happens if he does something so off the wall he winds up arrested or otherwise causes a serious international incident? There may be some small part of his mind that thinks slapping Nieto in front of the media is just the thing his campaign needs.

Trump is going to go there and be polite and presidential in the blandest way possible. Nothing meaningful will come of it and maybe he'll get a 1-2 point bump in the polls when people see he can avoid making GBS threads himself when talking to other countries.

Considering he's had a mass execution/disappearance of protesting students + teacher strikes during his very lovely, neoliberal presidency, it's unlikely anyone will really support his reelection that isn't getting fat off of the grifting. (Of course he'll win a second term mysteriously).

They will meet and cynically discuss how to coordinate hatred against each other for political purposes,

Or Trump will attempt to start negotiations for the TRUMP Border Wall Resort & Casino on the spot,

One of the two.

What's on your mind, Axa?
My brother is a fairly smart man, but man, he'll just accept whatever crap floats his way. A 9/11 Truther who hates Hillary based on Benghazi (which he couldn't remember anything about) and the belief that she's a puppet but Trump totally isn't. At least he's also decided that he hates Trump too, and in fact, hates all politics and won't vote. Hopefully he'll stick to that.

However, he also noticed that Jill Stein was full of poo poo, so he's not totally hopeless.

Not ever a drinker at all instead of 'was a raging alcoholic but gave it up'. I doubt Reagan was throwing them back in his old age and poor health and Bush Sr had quit before white house as well.

While Trump was never a drinker and I think Taft was pretty barely.

Evangelicals love poo poo like W being a crazy party guy then giving it up with big emotional confessions about his weakness. That's their catnip.
