Leave it to moronic leftwing correspondents to make judgement calls before the dealing is done.

[grumpygresh]

Trump has read The Prince and The Art of War, this tool obviously has not.

[Mr. K]

So, The New Yorker- which was WRONG on everything during the election- is now right on this?

OK

[McGavin999]

I don’t know if Jena is male or female but I do know that Jeva is painfully stupid

[Gaffer]

Horseshit

[Ray76]

Analysis OBE...

Jeb is bummed out.

[Carl Vehse]

More FakeNews from the left.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Betting Pinata Nieto comes crawling to Trump..the Peso is plummeting...PEMEX may have to raise Petrol prices again..Neito is a ticking time bomb of a government he needs trump far more than we need him!

[Rockitz]

This moron has apparently never read “The Art of the Deal.”

[RoosterRedux]

This is perfect negotiation.

It's the establishment of leverage.

Mexico has infinitely more at risk than the U.S.

Time to make them aware of that fact.

[technically right]

Trump is laying down his markers. Basically Trump holds all of the cards. He knows it and the Mexicans know it. Where else are they gonna go?

[AU72]

Lizza loved the Iran deal.

[pgkdan]

More Fake News.

Mexico is a major trading partner and ally of the U.S.,

In what way are they an ally? they're a trading partner currently enjoying a 60 billion dollar trade surplus to our disadvantage. They need us. We DON'T need them.

[Cobra64]

The author is a moron and most likely writing from his gay friend's used iBook.

Anyway, the Mexican president bowed out from the meeting and is scared sh1tless of The Wall because his revenue stream from the drug cartels will dry up. He's dirty.

Trump knows the world is watching this joust with Meh-he-co.

[DaxtonBrown]

Having done some commercial real estate myself, the rule of thumb is all deals break down at least 6 times. Trump knows this. We are on stage one of many. Trump will laugh last.

[Calif Conservative]

Are you suggesting one can infer some sort of pattern here or draw a conclusion?
