Of course he has to be tougher than others if he wants yo survive from the bigoteer media. Romney and McCAIN look really moderate now, but back then they were women hating klan members thanks to bigoteer narratives of media democrats.

Adelson who had VIP seating at the inauguration? Lololol

Mexico is understandably still in a state of shock. They're in a ridic situation to be in, their USA neighbor basically went overnight from ally to enemy.

also Trump doesn't care that wrecking Mexico's economy isn't going to help illegal immigration from mexico. I think he actually does know but that's certainly debatable.

that is what the wall is for.

do you think Trump is even aware of the Ayotzinapa Massacre?
If he really wanted to play hardball he would tweet about it.

Briefed on Ayotzinapa Mexico. Terrible, many such cases. Troubling! We will look in to it.

however both administrations are still working behind the scenes and his tweet yesterday giving Pena and excuse to cancel the trip to DC was done as a favor. The Mexican foreign minister is still in Washington.

There's probably more exploits than just audio video recording but I don't know.

mike pence vowed a full evaluation of voter rolls. russia hacked a few states and stole voter rolls in the run up to the 2016 election. they evidently need a complete list ready for 2020

They don't. The NRO guy who wrote that is laughing his ass off as he types.

His Las Vegas Review-Journal is the only paper that outright endorsed Trump.

Or maybe it will become a cult hit and Trump can spend the next 20 years doing Q&A's at cons in medium-sized cities.

Didn't someone say they called Trump on his personal number, with caller ID blocked, and he just answered?

Even if it was the huge problem Trump and his followers are making it out to be, the wall doesn't solve it because as has been pointed out in this thread repeatedly, most illegal immigrants come here legally on a visa then just don't leave.

The simple truth is, rich people live longer. Better healthcare, better food, less likely to have a depression. And over ambitious people often do sports and stress can actually have a lot positive effects on health

Interesting twitter thread I came across that discusses some of his more bizarre recent statements in terms of cognitive impairment:

As a candidate and in his personal life, Trump has shown to never back down and always hit back 10x as hard when attacked. The diplomatic row with Mexico will be the first true test of whether he does that as president. Trump threatens to cancel meeting with Mexico and insults them, Mexico cancels it. Your move Trump...

And what happens when his feud is with terrorists in the middle east, China, North Korea, or if he antagonizes Putin?
