He wimped out.

Didn't even bring up the wall in their meeting or who would pay for it?!?

Waste of everyone's time...

Too bad for him, there are about 6 hours of soundbites from the last 14 months showing him saying horrible things about Mexicans. One news conference won't change anything.


It's hard to speak softly (or loudly) when you are not carrying a big stick.

Just the fact that he's there is yuge. They
talked about the wall, and that Mexico
has a wall on their southern border. When
Hillary wakes from her afternoon 4 hour
nap, she might consider going. Only
kidding, she won't even answer questions
here, let alone in Mexico.

So cute that EB pretends to have me blocked but responds to posts that he wouldn't be able to see if he actually did have me blocked...

Sounds to me like EB has Fox News blaring in the background and they're doing their best to convince him that this trip was a success, even though Trumpster was too afraid to bring up the fact that he's promised for months that Mexico will pay for the wall (but everyone knows that will never happen).

Impressive that Trump talked to the Mexican president about a 'wall' that doesn't really exist. And certainly does not stretch all along the border between Mexico and Guatemala.

The big question on everybody's mind
Will Mexico pay for the wall?
Sounds like Trump chickened out on that demand

Hulk Hogan and Trump are surprisingly similar.

Two hideous old white men who have deplorable views of black people.

This is as presidential as it gets, on
a world stage with a world leader.
This is just what Hillary said would
never happen, Trump will never
look presidential. He ruled that
stage and the press conference.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
