Which is something I pointed out to you lefties days ago, when you were trying to spin the visit as a failure for Trump.
A sitting President of a nation, met with a Potential President.
By definition that built Trump's credibility.
When I said it, you lefties ridiculed the idea.
Now that Mexicans are saying it, it's cool.
Liberals: All the intellectual honestly of a crack whore.
Mexicans think that the meeting was so cool that the man who arranged the meeting, the finance minister, resigned from his job, disgraced.
Mexican finance minister resigns amid Trump scandal
"But the visit backfired on the president, with Mexicans voicing outrage that a US politician who has branded Mexican migrants as "rapists" would get such a prestigious invitation.
More than 88 percent of Mexicans expressed displeasure over Trump's visit, according to a survey by the Mitofsky polling firm."
Yes.
As you said, inadvertently agreeing with me, they realized that Neito gave Trump an excellent photo op which helped him.
Which is the opposite of what they want to do, as Trump wants to pursue America's interests at Mexico's expense.
If this guy put that together, he deserves to lose his job. He blew it.
He probably underestimated Trump and how well Trump would use that opportunity to look "Presidential".
LOL! I wonder if he believed the nonsense that you lefties have been spewing about Trump being a "hothead"?
If so, you lefties are at least partially, indirectly responsible for Trump's recent upward direction in the polls.
So you interpret angry Mexicans have giving Trump credibility?
It does not work that way, Cor. I do not dislike my AZ Rep. Senator Flake. I do not consider that Trump's credibility increased, and Flake's credibility decreased when they met a couple of weeks ago, and Flake essentially told him to **** off. Trump is a jerk, no matter who he meets with. If Flake had bowed down and kissed Trump's ring, HE would have lost credibility, but Trump is still a jerk. Mexican's almost universally despise Trump, and I promise you that none of them are the slightest bit intimidated by him, or his agenda. If anything, it would work the other way around. The more insulting Trump is, the more they will push back against American xpatriots in Mexico, just like this country pushed back against the Muslim world after 9/11. Successful international diplomacy is not won by threats and punitive measures. At least, not since 1939.
Your words "the mexicans are pissed that their president dignified Trump by meeting with him".
Dignified, credibility, tomayto, tomahto.
Noting could reach you, your mind is closed.
But, those who are undecided, or those who's HIllary choice was based on the Lie that Trump is "scary"?
Those people are still in play, and the President of Mexico giving "dignity" to Trump can move them to the Trump column.
And the Hillary lead RCP average is down to 2.8 points today...
And your pretense that international diplomacy has moved beyond threats and punitive measures is silly.
What do you think economic sanctions are if not punitive measures?
