Trump to visit Mexico, meet with Pena Nieto ahead of immigration speech
Fox News ^ | 8-31-2016 | Fox News

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump plans to detour from the campaign trail on Wednesday to visit Mexico and meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto at his invitation, a surprise trip scheduled just hours before Trump delivers an immigration policy speech in Arizona.

Nieto and Trump each confirmed late Tuesday that Trump accepted the invitation and the two would meet in private Wednesday.

Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News the two would discuss illegal immigration, trade and drugs. Trump running mate Mike Pence also said they would begin a conversation about a proposed border wall, along with other issues.

Worrying about the MANPADS, mostly.

My Spidey Sense is beginning to think that he was lying all along about his aggressive immigration stance. Hope I’m wrong. Very wrong. And BTW, why in the hell would he go down to see them? Meet them on the border, at best, out in the open. It’s not like a Mexican can’t stroll across the river.
And now we’re gonna have thousands of African immigrants flooding the border. Funny how none of these immigrants ever end up in the white liberal neighborhoods. They get sectioned off into their own little slums, like the ones they came from

Maybe Trump can bring up the issue of armadillos invading Missouri these days.

On the other hand he could get him to agree to pay for the wall

Was watching the Trump rally last night on CNN (while Fox had the O’Reilly replaying), and Don Lemon’s flummoxed reaction to the news about DT’s visit to Mexico was fun to watch!
Looked like he couldn’t decide whether to laugh— or cry!

There is no way Trump is backing down from his stance on illegal immigration and his stance on observing the laws on the books...

Trump has no problem with going to Mexico, in fact, this is the best way to do it...He will face the Mexican in his own backyard and tell him exactly what is going to happen anf that he’d better get his country ready for a massive influx of it’s own countrymen...

Trump is not a wimp...
Trump is not a dummy....

The Washington elite establishment is so used to our “leaders” walking on eggshells when meeting with foreign leaders that they don’t know how to handle or accept someone like Trump, who knows exactly what he is doing and has to do for America...

Trap or not, this should be a very, very interesting day. Both Nieto and Trump need to show it a success as it is risky for both. Will they do so in one-upping the other or by showing cooperation and steps forward. Can’t omit Clinton—she’s left out. Does she ‘promise’ something to Nieto if he trips up Trump? What is her relationship with Nieto? They last met in 2014. Is Nieto toying with Trump or does he see him as the likely next president? Yes, a very interesting day.

“On the other hand he could get him to agree to pay for the wall”

That would be great! They announce it together at the joint press conference.

Trump wins.

Nieto needs this more than Trump. He is embattled, and his wife’s lavish official spending is a scandal

Be patient and don’t jump to conclusions. At this point Trumps, past accomplishments, his current deeds etc, suggest he is doing those things to accomplish what he has stated.

Make America Great Again.

This probably has Hillary, wheezing coughing stumbling around and getting all sorts of medications so she can
“ME TOO” her way down to ole Mexico.

Personally I think it’s brilliant. He announces something, let’s it drip drip drip to get all the media going bat crazzy. DEMS and Hillary besides themselves.

Then BOOM brings forth something they can’t argue against(lol at least intelligently)

It’s either crazy or brilliant. We’ll probably know by this evening.

It’s ok. They are having the meeting in Brooklyn, Tessio’s enclave. Trump will be safe.

As long as Trump doesn’t believe a word the Mexican says, he’ll be all right.
