"For the first time in decades a foreign diplomat was standing on a stage with an American politician whose essential DNA is unapologetically American. Trump does not pretend himself to be, nor is he, a life time career politician. In essence he is the globalists' worst nightmare."

How good were the remarks? Well, lets just say…we can fully anticipate the liberal U.S. media to go into combat mode; because candidate Donald J Trump articulated a full-throated, unapologetic and yet resoundingly ‘diplomatic’ America-First message to Mexican President Peña Nieto….and that’s what he did publicly.
When Donald Trump and President Nieto came to their collective podiums Trump was in hostile territory. Nieto speaking Spanish without a formal translator provided, and without presenting his remarks in advance to candidate Donald Trump, was obviously speaking to his domestic audience more than an American one.
Yet somehow, after Nieto’s lengthy and highly politically nuanced comments – Trump was able to simply fillet the parseltongue using fewer, stronger, and far more deliberate words.
It really was stunning to witness.
For the first time in decades a foreign diplomat was standing on a stage with an American politician whose essential DNA is unapologetically American. Trump does not pretend himself to be, nor is he, a life time career politician. In essence he is the globalists worst nightmare.
A remarkable contrast not just optics, but in the recognition of a new strong and bold beginning for a very probable Trump presidency.
The remarks by Donald Trump were so succinctly on-point the U.S. media are left with no other option than to attack ridiculous details viciously. Apparently the U.S. media were anticipating that Mexico would cut a check for the border wall today….or something similarly silly.
Quite frankly, most of the the MSM have never known a patriotic president. Candidate Trump’s mere existence cuts against the very fabric of their educational teaching.
However, all you need to see to recognize who held the stronger authority in this meeting is the immediate ‘triggered‘ reaction from Univision’s Jorge Ramos:"

====================
Added: "Some slammed Trump for not demanding Pena Nieto pay for the infamous wall, but such criticism misses the point. Trump's goal in Mexico was not confrontation. In fact, it was the exact opposite: the international debut of "diplomatic Trump," a man who dutifully praises his host, stresses common ground over conflict."...9/2/16, "Donald Trump went to Mexico and won," Leon Krauze, Brisbane Times

"Our next president got the Mexican president to agree
-that NAFTA needs to be fixed,
-illegal immigration is bad for both countries,
-stopping the flow of cross border criminality drug cartels is also in their interest and of course
-the wall is a good idea.
It was clear that the Mexican President had respect for Donald and for legitimate American concerns.
Donald is keeping his promise…get great deals for America. And what a great start to get agreement and movement on key issues.
Do not get bogged down in payment discussion. He got agreement on all the basic philosphical points to move forward with Donald’s plan.
Has any recent US politicians done so well in recent times? NO!
They bow and humble themselves and give up everything.
Then after they have given up everything so easily, they have to start a war to get back what was theirs to begin with
.
A grand slam for The Donald!
PS. Only fools (MSM) would think that a person would get a full contract signed in a 1 hour meeting that included wall payment techniques. How many years did it take Obama to get the horrible Iran deal?"

As far as I could tell, Pena Nieto said exactly the same as Donald. I love how Donald extolled Mexican democracy. It’s under tremendous pressure and a properly policed border will help."
