Trump congratulates Mexico's new president:
'I look very much forward to working with him'
"Congratulations to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on becoming the next President of Mexico. I look very much forward to working with him," Trump tweeted.
(Trump looks very much forward?)
A third-time presidential candidate, López Obrador has publicly derided Trump's plans to build a wall along the border between the U.S. and Mexico and has said he will demand respect from the White House ...
a left-wing populist who has vowed to take a tougher stance against the U.S. president.

(61,695 posts)Trump should do better with written commentary, but doesn't. Misplaced modifiers in spoken language are more common.
I heard one on Morning Joe this morning. Joe was commenting trump's tweets about America should sleep better because he has taken care of the nuclear problem: "North Korea continuing to develop nuclear weapons and long range missile technology that, yes, could kill all of us while we are sleeping at night with a nuclear weapon."
Sadly, it's been a long time since I slept with a nuclear weapon.
