It could still backfire if it makes Trump more sympathetic because those bad Mexicans didn't treat him with the respect Americans feel his position entitles him to.

The US should launch 2 nukes right behind Trumps plane so that when he lands he can make little finger guns and have 2 explosions go off in distance where he pointed.

lol remember in 08 when McCain suspended his campaign right before the debates so he could go on an emergency wall street visit to address the market crash.

when losing candidates start pulling stunts like this to get attention, it's usually later in the campaign

trump is always under budget and ahead of schedule

I dunno what the calculation here is on the part of the Trump campaign, I don't see what this does for him.

Trying to openly humiliate a US presidential candidate might just make Americans dislike Mexico rather than dislike Trump.

I'm thinking about it from Nieto's side - he's abysmally unpopular and everyone is jumping all over him for legitimizing Trump like this. I don't think any sitting President would turn an official visit into a prank for local goodwill, but if there ever was a point where it might benefit the President this would be it.

Mostly I just want that to happen so as Trump flies away he can tell us petulantly how much taller the wall just got.

The outcome will be predictable: both parties will say there was a "frank and open discussion" which "explored areas of common ground" despite "our significant differences in opinion on certain issues". Then Trump will go to Arizona and say he met with Nieto, great guy, really great guy, he's someone I can negotiate with, not like the other guy. Trump will use it as an excuse to somehow describe an immigration plan that is simultaneously hard-lined and softened, despite the impracticality and internal contradictions, and it will cause the base anxiety and win over exactly no one.

Then he will lose the election and start the Trump News Network like he's already planning.

The unpopularity argument always cracks me up when it's presented as a binary favorable / unfavorable.

Breaking news! Stubbing your toe and being shot right in your face both polling at 97% unfavorable! It's anyone's game who wins that choice!
