More like; Se Usted Puede! (or Yes YOU Can) as he speaks to Trump.

I've been referring to President Trump for about two or three weeks now.

In my opinion, it is obvious ..... He fills an arena with 4 - 6 thousand people with 2K waiting outside on an average of four days a week and sometimes twice a day .... and has been doing it consistently since he began his campaign ....


compared to a half filled school auditorium, half of THAT being staffers and sometimes paid audience once every 60 days.


WHAT'RE YOU ... KIDDING ME ??!!??


Thank you, President Trump.

Donald has to know how the Mutt and Jeff optics were working in his favor. He looked gigantic, while Nieto looked diminutive. It’s not fair, and there is nothing ‘wrong’ with being short in stature, but onstage, people tend to apply a Hieractic Perspective to what they see, with the important thing being the biggest or most grandiose thing.

President Nieto’s invitation to Trump “was the biggest stupidity in the history of the Mexican presidency,” said academic Jesus Silva-Herzog.

No, it was complete when Nieto let Trump speak last.

What a moron.

Trump was Presidential....

It was a heck of a speech in Mexico and the one in AZ. So excited to hear Trump stand up and represent American interest.

Great, great speech. Total reverse of B. Obama who has wasted no opportunity to stick it to the USA.

Nieto doesn’t seem stupid. It was wise of him to get along with Trump. Mexico has a lot of the same problems we do. I think both these men care about their countries.

I don’t know specific examples, but I think it likely that Trump has dealt with heads of state (or at least high officials) in negotiating construction of buildings and other projects in foreign countries. He’s not intimidated by such encounters as his eager acceptance of the Mexican president’s invitation, and his subsequent conduct, proved. And the principles expounded in “The Art of The Deal” are directly applicable to the negotiation of most anything.

A Mexican reporter supposedly tweeted “And now our humiliation is complete”. I couldn’t stop smiling after reading that. May his or her words be echoed in the halls of Congress and the headquarters of both parties on Nov. 9.

I cannot overestimate how good it felt to have an intelligent, patriotic American leader travelling abroad to negotiate with foreign statesmen.

The contrast between the lightweight Obama and the corrupt,globalist Bush’s was enormous.

Trump has recognised that there is such a leadership vacuum in this country at the moment (with Obama on the golf course) that the need for someone to step up and defend the interests of American citizens has never been greater.

I’ve not felt that confident that we were being properly represented abroad since Reagan.

The intensity of support is an indicator but it’s not all that matters. I do not discount that the Democratic machine is already putting together their three week get out the vote as soon as early voting begins. They’ll be giving away free meals to jump in a van to the polls day in and out for weeks.

In 2012, Obama events were a fraction of their 2008 size and excitement, but they got the people to the polls in numbers no one expected. The Democrats ability to target and convert, even when it’s soft support is a huge weapon. Trump has to continue doing what he’s been doing and he’s got a great shot, though.

Do you remember....pretty much the first and last time we saw Vicente Fox in the flesh was his much-heralded and attention-grabbing visit in 2001———just before 9-11! Then he quickly exited stage Left.

Trump stressed that in Phoenix, but didn't let that assessment cloud his thought processes.

USA .. USA .. USA ! ! !

Nieto said something like, “and I hope with Mrs Clinton as well .. “ regarding the friendly meeting he and Trump had.
