“Not welcomeâ€: Massive protests planned for Trump’s trip to Mexico
"We don't like him; we don't want him; we reject his visit," a former president of Mexico said of Trump's trip
With less than 24 hour notice, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accepted an open invitation from Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to visit the country less than 70 days before the U.S. election and on the same day Trump is set to deliver a pivotal speech on immigration in Arizona.
The two men will meet behind closed doors at the Mexican President’s official residence, called Los Pinos, early Wednesday afternoon and issue a statement immediately after without taking questions from reporters.
In an interview with CNN in July, Peña Nieto said there was “no way†Mexico would pay for a border wall. The GOP candidate only enjoys a 4 percent favorable rating from Mexican citizens, according to a Reforma newspaper poll published August 16.
The surprise event, closed to the public, is already engendering calls for a massive protest of the candidate who decried that Mexico is sending “rapists†and “criminals†across the border illegally.

Massive protests were planned for Trump's visit. So what happened? I'm attaching a video of the "massive protest" of what looks to be about a dozen people. That's a reason the primitives were bellyaching about the Hillary loving American MSM not getting included in Trump's visit--they could've made those dozen protesters appear to be hundreds like they do with pro abortion rallies or Hillary campaign rallies. The left is falling down on the job with their worldwide revolution. ACORN or SEIU should've been able to whip up a respectable rent-a-mob on short order. They've done it before. What's up with that?
Here's a youtube video of the protest:

Here's a link to The Guardian, a better video with sound along with a story:

Here's a couple primitive replies to the original OP:

2. Protests need police action...
So all this possible unrest to the Mexican people will cost money to provide police and possible injury to protestors...
The US Embassy could possibly be threatened as a protest...
All this for a Trump photo op?? None of this is acceptable and Trump should be held accountable for anything that goes wrong.
Yes, I'm sure the embassy went on high alert when they saw this massive wave of protesters. They are probably still waiting for the stand down order with great apprehension.

4. That's playing right into his hands
Ignoring the visit would be the smart thing to do.
It looks like they did the smart thing, then.
The massive protests didn't materialize. Sad.

There were probably as many protesters at Trump's rally that show up anytime Cankles appears.

Y'know, I think the protestors who show up at the average Trump rally actually outnumber the attendees at the average Hillary event.

Evidently, they did not occur. Falling down on the job, DUAC?!?!

Well, the logistics involved of busing mentally retarded, leftover 60's geriatrics, cross country, would tax the most sophisticated system.
