In a markedly careless, poorly-timed bit of PR, Republican Candidate for President Donald Trump has decided on a trip to Mexico. One can only imagine the sudden demand on Logistics and Planning this stunt places on the U.S, Secret Service, the agency charged with protection for U.S. Presidential Candidates.
For its part, Mexico last week invited both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to visit, but I doubt anyone in the Mexican Government expected Trump’s people to consider taking the trip. Especially since Mexican Pres. Enrique Pena Nieto recently compared Donald Trump to Hitler, and Mussolini.
Apparently this is of little to no concern to Donald Trump and his campaign staff. It is reported that this astounding display of Showmanship and poor planning began to develop as an actual event scheduled possibly for Wed. 8/31, over this past weekend (8/27-28). It’s true that the U.S. Secret Service is supposed to be adept at switching operations on-the-fly, but that particular ability is really supposed to be reserved for the P.O.T.U.S., not International jaunts by Candidates.
On a related note, Mexican Pres. Enrique Pena Nieto has repeatedly stated Mexico will not pay for the ‘New Great Wall’.
‘Hey Don, where ya’ going with that Wall …?’
Aside from the additional headaches posed for the U.S.S.S., what is the point of meeting face-to-face with the Mexican President to be told in-person, that he’s getting Nothing for the Wall? Nada.
