Nucleic Acids posted:What Trump's trying to do (if this is real) is get denied a visit with the President of Mexico, so that he can scream about it to his base. Yeah, this is no different than the black outreach. He's not trying to talk to Mexicans, and no doubt the Mexican government will not even receive a formal request. But his base will eat it up, and his intention is to make himself more palatable to undecided voters. Of course he fails completely, buy that's Trump.

Given the suggestion came from Bannon, I'd hazard a guess he's going to....no, i have no loving idea what the point would be.

neoliberal posted:You know Clinton lost 11 points week to week on a Reuter tracking poll that was released today. Reuters/IPSOS didn't like that they were running ahead of everybody else's numbers by a few points so they changed their whole methodology halfway through, then didn't say anything until people dug info up on it Basically they're now assuming that the white share of the electorate will be higher than it has ever been and the minority share will be the lowest ever. It's pretty questionable unless they're getting ahead of anticipated ballot burnings and minority voter intimidation plans and trying to factor that in And he's still losing.

They also published (and then deleted?) a total puff piece on Trump about 10 years ago, apparently.

It also gambles on his ability to not make a fool of himself.

Sometimes I wonder if Trump is just trying to find the cutoff for total outrage fatigue, after which point each scandal and gaffe produces no additional outcry because the public is fully saturated. His entire candidacy seems to be built to asymptotically approach that limit.

Does Trump know any non American language? Maybe the meeting will end up like a recent Daily Show bit where the Asian Corespondent told a Trump Staffer to gently caress off in Chinese. Except in Mexican.
