Trump congratulates Mexico's new president

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.

The knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers at his rallies loved chanting that "Mexico" would pay for the wall and bone spurs acts like a tough guy, but didn't mention the wall? Must've forgotten

AMLO says Mexico can live without NAFTA, too. Let's see how American farmers react/vote when their careers are endangered....

I read a couple weeks ago that Mexico is increasing trade with China and the EU.

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.

pointing out how our corporate media have painted Obrador as the "Mexican Trump". Countdown until Thump starts pissing in his direction.
