Trump's trip is example of his dangerous impulsive behavior.


We can hope that he does not create an international incident.

The State Dept did not have time to set up the trip and he went on a whim. Perhaps he thinks he can make some type of political hay before his big speech on immigration tonight?

It's disturbing because it is indicative of what he might do as Commander in Chief. I seriously doubt that he would hesitate at all to send troops into any country that might speak ill of him.

He has shown himself to be a loser, no matter how this trip turns out.

The only loser is you ken****.

They had to come up with something considering that Killery turned down the invite due to health concerns.

[DLR Pyro]

He was invited by the president of mexico.  Was he supposed to turn down the invite and risk offending El presidente?

3. I agree.

This is a perfect example of him putting his personal goals above the country's. I think this is a matter of pure ego for him. He wants people to think he's a tough guy who's not afraid of other countries. He has no regard for the subtleties of international diplomacy – all that matters is his image. It's incredibly irresponsible and wreckless.

I really hope he doesn't create some kind of incident. You could argue he already has, just by going to Mexico after his dangerous rhetoric against Mexico, Mexicans, and Mexican-Americans.

5. Trump's trip is putting people's lives @ risk

From our embassy, secret service people, mexican police and security people all
are being put at risk by Trump's trip.

I'm surprised that none of the DUnces have called the trip treasonous or a Logan Act violation yet.

He was invited.  Hillary was invited too but she couldn't pull herself away from Jimmy Buffet and John Bon Jovi or maybe she is hanging close to home waiting for an important delivery.

That's not the only buffet she can't pull herself away from.

The SHREW screwed up and declined the invite. Trump, who was already on the West Coast, showed the President of Mexico the respect of a quick acceptance. So of course DU-folk have to re-spin Trump's action and The SHREW's inaction.

Riddle me this, kt: Why is Trump's visit to Mexico a greater threat to Secret Service, Mexican police, etc. than Sasha and Malia's visit to Mexico a few years ago, with the same sort of Secret Service, etc., protection?

[fatboy]

Over at the DUmp right now (post Trump Mexico speech) It's like a bunch of Dopes mistook a hornets nest for a piñata.

[Karin]

^^ I wandered over and quickly and quietly backed out the door.  They're using a lot of these ***** and all caps.  I can't hear myself think. 

Every now and then, a DUmmie will pipe up and ask, "why don't we have more positive Hillary threads?"  It's all Trump all the time, in an echo chamber.  It's a good question, DUmmies.  Why don't you have more positive Hillary threads, where you extoll all her virtues and accomplishments, and the countless ways she has personally helped people, in order to arm yourself to go door to door?  You are going door to door, aren't you? 

[Delmar]

Well, that didn't take long:

Donald Trump has no more authority than I to negotiate with another country.


He has no official capacity to make any kind of deal with Mexico. He cannot offer or receive anything from Mexico. That should be clear.

'Logan Act violation?'

 

Good luck with that one, DUmbass.

That blade cuts both ways. Felonia von Cankles is saddlebags deep in foreign influence peddling.

I guess he should have played golf for a couple of weeks on Martha's Vineyard so as not to be impulsive

I have seen nothing about the speech,trip or visited the DUmp yet but I presume he appeared Presidential but not cowering and they are in a panic? 

[franksolich]

Well, yeah, sure.

[Big Dog]

As worked up as the DUmmies are, you'd think Trump just traded a pallet load of foreign cash for some hostages.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I saw his (And El Presidente's) speeches, I was laughing my ass off because he totally killed it, making Hitlery look like a hopeless tool in the process without even mentioning her name or making any reference to her.  Good job, and no wonder the DUmmtards are enraged!

 

[Delmar]

What is the deal with all the threads over at DU about the trip being a failure since Trump didn't get Mexico to agree to pay for the wall?

He's not president yet, DUmmies.

Half of their stupid posts over there are about Trump being treasonous for showing up there for a visit and the the other half of the posts are berating him for not getting Mexico to pay for the wall.

Getting them to agree to pay for it can wait until he's sworn in next January.

For now, he's just a candidate.

Patience DUmmies.

Of course he should have! Easier for Libs & Progs to condemn him for racism.

This shtick again? Let me count the narrative fails:

1.) Trump's talks had nothing to do with disputes between the United States and Mexico;

2.) Trump did not meet with the President of Mexico to defeat some effort or policy of BHO (or a previous President).

But don't let me be the one to stop DU-folk from wetting themselves in contemplation and anticipation of this chimera.

It was an excellent speech.

I guess the State Department is too busy scolding the media for reporting on terrorism, asswipe.

No, you ****ing idiot.  We've been over and over and over this dozens of times.

Shut.  Up.

OK, ignoring the fact that Trump was invited ... ignoring the fact that Trump was already on the West Coast, making the schedule change less difficult than if he were in other parts of the US ...

How in Hades is travelling to the capital of another country to meet with the country's President even infinitesimally analogous to invading another country? Oh! And did I mention that Trump was invited to do so by Mexico's President?!

[dutch508]

OMG- they are loosing their minds over Trump's immigration speech and the trip to Mexico.

These people, who Trump is parading out as political fodder, by showcasing their dead children


need to realize that Sandy Hook happened too. Among many more. He is going to save us from something his own party has fought against from the get go. No one's death is any more important than any other to the relatives of the victims. If I was running for office, I would refuse to intentionally use people, who have suffered, as an example of what I could do if i were elected.

Trump went hardline, then went further. This is reminiscent of Hitler speeches!!!!


The reaction is the same as Hitler crowds!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!!!

Wow! Trump must've said something REALLY right! Like maybe promising to enforce immigration law?
