Yeah, I think that this was the biggest victory that trump has had for a long time, simply by dint of not being a total embarrassing failure. I would imagine that it's probably going to give him lots of media back patting. This is more or less what I expected at the start of the month when trump was going down poo poo river: he gets on a somewhat even keel, and stages a comeback, probably ultimately losing in a fashion similar to Romney.

He invited Trump and Hillary. Trump accepted, and he rolled out the red carpet like a fool. Only thing that makes sense is if the President believed Trump would suffer being seen to tone down his rhetoric, which he did, but whatever, I don't see American voters giving much of a poo poo about Trump in Mexico, when many right-wing Republicans consider them to be beneath them.

When someone they see as beneath them you're gonna see how quickly they can displace that hatred onto other groups, Muslims are like a giant hatesponge to the right wing

It was a good moment for Trump, but I don't think it's a stunt with a high payoff even with success. Who decides to vote for him because the President of Mexico didn't call him an rear end in a top hat? He still is who he is.

My biggest problem with the wall is why does Mexico have to pay for the whole thing? We have a ton of Honduran, Guatemalan, Nicraguan and other central American countries sending us their criminals and rapists.

I bet if we told Mexico they only had to pay a few billion and the other countries would kick in the rest, they would be so relieved that they would write us a check the next day.

I wish I was being glib but the PRI really are that bad. The one thing Trump could rightly say that generalizes the Mexican people would be by calling them out for being dumb by electing the PRI.

In case you need more evidence, Pena Nieto is coached by the people that did this, but are really old now:

gently caress the PRI forever, at least Vicente Fox would have invited Trump to Mexico and demolished him.

The weird thing about that is that literally the only group that would possibly be upset by that is the BLM activist community who is already leery of Democrats and mostly operating outside of national political institutions anyway. I expect the main impact of it is going to give Freepers another thing to use to claim that Democrats are hypocrites, but I don't see any group whose opinions are going to change as a result of this memo.

Peña Nieto standing there not challenging Trump at all probably did a lot to make him look Presidential. I got a sort of gross feeling watching it because it looked super legitimate. Of course, they completely swept any substance under the rug, but this was a undoubtedly positive for Trump. Hopefully he says something extra stupid later tonight to erase it completely.

Hell, even Sheriff Joe appearing on CNN afterward was completely low energy and didn't do anything to rile anybody up aside from the whole "lol nothing matters" of saying that it doesn't matter who pays for the wall. If Trump and his surrogates aren't constantly being the biggest loving idiots on the planet, people start giving him credit because people are dumb as gently caress.
