Trump In Mexico

As I write this Lucianne.com has a headline stating Donald Trump has landed in Mexico. Trump is there to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, prior to his Phoenix speech on immigration scheduled for tonight. It's a ballsy move on Trump's part, and maybe on Peña Nieto's too.

We've just identified another reason to vote for Trump in November. His presidency will be much more fun to watch and experience. We can count on him acting large on the world stage, as he is today in Mexico.

What's puzzling me is our in-the-tank-for-Hillary MSM has told us how all of Mexico hates Trump - kids swatting Trump-shaped piñatas, etc. How can hosting Trump, doing a photo op with him, be good politics for a politically savvy Peña Nieto?

I understand Peña Nieto cannot run for reelection under Mexican constitutional law. However, he obviously cares whether someone from his PRI party wins next time.

My guess is Peña Nieto invited Trump expecting him to decline, giving Peña Nieto bragging rights that Trump was afraid to meet him. Trump then changed his schedule, agreed to go, and called PN's bluff.

As always, we'll watch and learn.
